Picked up this lovely Monte Carlo recently. 2015 my with just under 10k on the clock. Great little car. I’ve already replaced the HU for something a little better.

Slight update ! Sub Woofer fitted

[group1rs]

So up and out this morning fitting a genuine Skoda Armrest in Gordon the Citigopher. Fairly easy to do all parts supplied in box. Just a couple of holes need drilling and a portion of original handbrake surround needs removing with sharp side cutters. Template for where to cut is supplied in destructions as well. Fits well looks awesome and more storage. You do however loose rear cup holder.

Armrest looks fantastic! What's the part number and where did you get it from?

I must be the youngest member with a completely standard Citigo! 

 

Although mine is on finance and was never intended to be a keeper, just a cheap motor for uni, I plan on handing back and getting something much more powerful!

 

Yours is looking fantastic! Wish I had the money to change the alloys for something else, I've got the standard SE L alloys and do wish I had them in a darker colour!

Your similar to me, although mine is/was intended to be a keeper but it just lacks the power! If only they’d turbo it just to make it that bit more fun...

 

I've kept mine standard due to insurance purposes, though it’s sporty enough for me - being the monte edition.

I'm tempted by the Up! GTI as a next car. A Citigo, essentially, but with almost twice the power? Yeah that sounds like a laugh!

I was at first, just don’t like the styling tbh. I’ve been looking at a Seat Leon FR. If only Skoda did a Fabia Monte with the same engine as the Seat!!

 

all these ifs and buts... arhhh

Can't believe the sound a new head unit and base speaker makes to the sound of the original speakers, very impressive.

Track day Monday !

Thought you wanted a car with much more power. Thought you were going to say a Golf R haha

[group1rs]

Great fun! And even with Hyphoons about to lap me lol.

Looks great on decent tyres and race alloys that aren't far too big. its good to see!
