Hello, my name is Alex and I'm from Timisoara,Romania.

 

I have been around ever since I discovered this great community filled up with Skoda lovers and want to share with you my Fabia project.

 

It all started when I turned 18 and got her as a gift from my parents:

 

Skoda Fabia Mk2 2011 with an 1.2 TSI engine.

I soon discovered that the little 1.2 TSI engine made the car actually fun to drive and quickly felt in love.

With no big plans in mind, I never tought that my Fabia could look as good or even close to the others that I saw....

Being afraid of getting my hands on a brand new car and doing something wrong was the main reason that keept me away from doing any major changes. 

 

But then, I actually did something wrong...

With my driver license suspended for the next 3 months, and another 3 long months until my car was repaired, dreams and ideas started rolling in.

 

After seeing my loved Fabia wrecked and choosing to repair it at a friends Garage, to reduce some of the costs, I lost my warranty and my fears of getting my hands on the car and doing something wrong...

 

So I replaced the stock bumper with a VRS one

After a long winter it was time to get lower and ready for the summer...

 

So the next step was an FK Coilover Kit

And the proof that low is a lifestyle....

Now this is where it gets interesting

 

With some money saved and big plans in mind, my car was soon under construction again.

With the custom built US Trunk, I think my Fabia is the only one in the game...

After nearly 2 months, my Fabia was allmost done...

 

I wanted to have the perfect fitment, so sacrifices had to be made...

More pictures soon!!

 

Future plans:

 

-Custom Leather and Alcantara interior

-G.A.S Airride system

-Camber

-Revo Technik Software Upgrade

-Downpipe 

Any tips for fitting the FK coilovers? I've just brought a set :) 

 

How low have you gone? Also how on earth did you get the front struts on? I might not have the correct tools to do so but it looks real awkward to remove the standard front struts :/ 

 

I have a MKII VRS so not sure if its any different to the 1.2 TSI? 

 

Love the stance of your car! Nice work :)

Hi alex 

i was wondering whether you had any issue retrofitting the monte carlo lights such as having to do any rewiring or were they a straight fit 

thanks in advance
