Picked up the new toy on Saturday said goodbye to the Fabia Monte Carlo which has been a lovely car just not big enough was always going to return to the Vrs fold having owned a Mk2, already removed dealer plates & put some Vrs ones on also got some key protection which makes it easier to work out which ones mine & the wife's 

 

Nice. Haven't seen many facelifts in silver. 

 

But you've given your wife a key? Brave. 

Colour looks great in the flesh especially with the gloss black highlights, and yes the wife has a key but to be fair she looks after it had the Fabia for over 3yrs and no kerbing on the alloys

I do like the silver, quite rare. When I was looking to purchase I went to look at a silver one, with panoramic roof which almost swayed me - but ended up with the one in my signature instead.

You'll love it. Proper fuel I hope?

I'm afraid it's a diesel, would have preferred petrol but this car came up with spec I wanted, loved the colour and most importantly price was right, dealer replaced rear discs & pads which were heavily scored is this common? Only 13000 miles

Mine had rears replaced before I took delivery (9500 miles). The dealer then also replaced the fronts after I complained they were scored. 

 

I can only assume mine was enthusiastically run in....

Neither have I come to think about it.  Looks nice 

nice one on the new car  silver looks great on the octy RS  

Cheers for the comments love the car and the colour, thinking about investing in the OBD Eleven worth it or not?

My rear discs are lipped badly at 17k miles, only got a couple mm left on the pads too. Fronts were replaced under warranty at 4-1/2k miles & now only have 4-1/2mm on the pads.

 

Gonna replace the discs & pads, probably drilled discs & RedStuff pads for a bit more bite
