Tom_vRS · 16-04-2006, 22:55

Marcus, you need to tell us more mate, we want more photos

You're car is truly stunning,

Piccy stolen from your mid thread post.

Damn right. I notice:

Rubbing strips removed
Colour coded door handles
Side skirt spoiler thing
Chrome mirrors (Genuine Audi?)
Aero rear wiper...

Any more?

Marcus - common!

texasjohn · 16-04-2006, 23:10

Looks like the exhaust pipe might be aftermarket too

Wardy · 16-04-2006, 23:12

That looks brilliant - very agressive

Not sure about the side skirt thingies and I'm not a chrome mirror fan, but great effort

That is weird, you can see it in the first pic you posted Tom, but no in the other two!!

It's a beauty, and the visual mods are very tasteful, IMHO

A couple of questions:

How do you find the WEITEC suspension? Any problems? I've been looking at WEITEC myself so I'd be interested in your opinion.

Was the front splitter an easy fit, or did you have to do much modifying to the SEAT part?

Finally, I noticed a little button on top of the switch to the right of the ESP switch in the cockpit, what is that for?

Harry_vRS · 17-04-2006, 01:03

How did u go about changing the colour of the dash lighting? White looks good but I'm a fan of the VW blue.

simonsheil · 17-04-2006, 01:04

there is a guide somehwere, I'm sure someone in the know ill post a link shortly.

I can only recommend the Weitec suspension. It's completly KW technology, for a better price (managing director of KW and Weitec is in fact the same person). And on a side note: The green springs perfectly fit the Skoda green brake calipers...

I think that has already been covered somewhere else in the forums but in short:

To make the Leon splitter fit to the Fabia front I removed the plastic brackets that usually snap into the Seat front and shortened the two pins in the middle. Then I predrilled at least 20 holes and taped the hole thing roughly in place. I used stainless steel screws to fix it. You have to also shorten the ends of the splitter, they are too long for the Fabia.

That's the status LED of my Carguard alarm, it blinks when it's armed. Forgot that in the list above...

LOTS of soldering, SMD and 3mm LEDs. You need a little experience in soldering for this and of course you shouldn't be afraid of disassembling almost the complete dashboard. That was the speedo before: http://www.bulletweb.de/upload/fabia/tacho2.jpg
