just thought i would share a couple of pics of my 2 fabias.. a few of you may recognise the red one as the previous owner was on here but i have spent nearly 2 months and nearly 3 grand doing the things right that he tried to do! emmascar.jpgmyvrs.jpglots of work still to do on both like getting the silver one about a foot closer to the ground and some stretched tyres on it the red one has just had the tints done and coilovers and 312mm brakes yesterday.. and a clutch... plenty more to come on both though!!2fabias.jpg

picture quality is pants as it was done on my phone!!

Love the wheels on the silver one. How did you fit them? There's a mk1 golf with a set on my route to work and I always give a good look tho I thought they were 4 bolt fitment.

thats right.. they are 'just' borbets.. only took me 2 years to find a set of mint 5x100 borbet a's... they are readily available as 4 stud fitment but seem to be rare in 5x100..

These wont fit the vag group cars, but i suppose it would give Ben an idea on price.

Surprised you ain't bin pulled for the rears on the silver one. . The tire is miles outside the arch. . I know its a bit of a gray area as to how much you can get away with. . But id say that's well pushing it,stretch some tires onto em and get it wound down :-D. . .

Good work on doing the red one properly,suppose that's the risk you take when buying one that's bin 'tinkered' with already haha.

they stick out about 3mm when you stick a spirit level on the face of the wheel.. they look like they stick out further than they do.. and yes i have been pulled over in it!! but you are right.. stretchy tyres are deffo needed!!

the lad i bought it off told a good tale about his workmanship in the advert!! unfortunately my standards are clearly different!!

ooh.. looks like i could be popping to notingham for another set!! my favourite wheels of all time these!! if everyones taste was the same the world would be a boring place!!

I love them, knew they were expensive as I looked into them for my felicia, turned out more expensive than the car! Didn't realise they did a 5x100 version to.......so rare I assumed they didn't exist!
