Hello all!
This is my very first post on here and also my first ever Skoda
I have bagged an amazing 2011 Mk2 Fabia vRS which only had 1 previous owner (an old boy that only covered 36k miles!)
Now I have a 1 year VW warranty so will be doing a stage 2 when this expires, in the meantime I will be addressing the... shall we say... interesting choice of wheel and roof colour? I will be wrapping the roof black and respraying the wheels gun metal.
For my shopping list of stage 2 performance modifications, this is how far I have got (appreciate any input or advice):
Induction kit - undecided on whether to go for Forge, ITG or go custom with a BMC CDA filter and link up the pipes to the cold feed myself.
Exhaust - looking to do a custom system and have the muffler mounted in the middle of the diffuser (rather than the left). Have been provided with 3 options from Longlife, again not sure which option to go for (all 2.75" bore and utilising the existing mandrel bends):
Cat-back system (£629)
Downpipe, flexi & 200 cell sports cat (£599)
Cat-back with no centre box (£529)
Intercooler - bit stuck here, have seen the forge intercooler has been discontinued and the only other one I can find is the Airtec which is in the £400s!
Remap - will be going to Avon Tuning for them to do a custom stage 2 remap (after the above mods are fitted) along with a DSG remap. They are bloody good at what they do!
After all this I will look into finishing off the exterior looks:
Lights - have found a few smoked LED taillights about for the Mk2, however struggling to find some decent LED headlights?
Badges - going for the classic matt black badge look
Front splitter - https://www.ebay.co.uk/i/233494941976
Side skirts - https://www.ebay.co.uk/i/233497916423
Front grill - any advice on something that looks a bit nicer?
