AnnoyingPentium

Did something nice with the Fabia today in the one dry spell we had between finishing a lecture and taking the Spaniel out... So, some of you will have seen the thread about these, but if you haven't then here you go. Metal pedal covers, purchased off of eBay for less than 20 quid. Before: After: I realise the brake one may not quite be on right, but I'll argue with it tomorrow morning when there's daylight. After a few (maybe 20-30???) harsher than normal slams of the brake, it feels secure but sits a wee bit funny. More on that tomorrow with the photos of other parts being fitted etc.

Just as the title says. Wondering if anyone here is from Ayrshire like myself.

Welcome to the forums! Nice to see another 1.2 HTP owner, even if it's in the newer model.

Glad to see you're staying. Sorry to hear about you parting with your Octavia however.

I reckon heading here should give you a wee hand pal. Hope that helps!

I'm seeing no change from E5 regular to the new E10, I'm still seeing 40-48mpg depending on how I drive. I've been putting Morrison's Super E5 in it and I think the car feels a little sharper, but that could be a placebo.

The scenery from the train, approximately at Lochwinnoch when posted.

Welcome to the forums!

Gendan are a good bunch. My Grampa swears by them for anything he needs for his various Vauxhalls, such as oxygen and lambda sensors. My coilpacks will certainly be coming from then if/when the time arises for my Fabia's coils to resign from daily duty.

T'was a nice morning, as they say. Yeah it's still grubby, but it'll be getting cleaned soon with any luck.

Caught the tail-end of the sunrise up towards Dalmellington today off the side of the A713 which has gorgeous scenery for the most part, with my little Fabia photobombing from the left. Took this with my Samsung Galaxy S7 since it was a bit of an impromptu photo as I was early for picking up my friend.

Welcome to the forums!

You had me there! Welcome to the forums.

Welcome to the forums!

The fortunate thing is that this wee car is my daily and I check the seals etc. as often as possible. I'm more concerned about water lying in the drivers side front sill however.

Pinch one from your Mk1 perhaps? Since they use the same platform. That's if you didn't chuck the old Comfort seats though.

Where'd you get the Skoda Motorsport plate surrounds from? Did they come with the car?

Hence why there's no photos of my rear speaker replacement... I spent most of it on my back with the seats folded down and my legs hanging out the boot! I like the vRS kit on a black Fabia but less so on the lighter ones (besides the Special Edition) where I prefer the standard bumpers. Standard bumpers with the small spoiler look good in any colour IMO, there's a few older Fab's cropped up like that on AutoTrader (no I totally don't have a saved search running).

Indeed. I caught a glimpse of it in a photo of a new Fab that you put up and I think it looks nice!

Definitely fascinating, I do the same! I find the Parkers website is good for that when looking at the specs of all the Fabia models. The one I like the most has to be the Blackline as I'm a sucker for a Black Magic Fabia but I'd miss my air-con, fog-lights, and other luxuries I've grown accustomed to. I've been trying to talk myself out of having to start a second project thread... if you catch my drift.

Lovely looking Rapid. Following this thread now...

We need a definitive Fabia Mk1 interior spec list, e.g. ICE, upholstery, etc.

Definitely, do you remember the time I accidentally made a Fabia interior spec thread? Some of the models he could find were pretty amazing! I don't have the creative skills for that one to be honest. If I can find a good set of Bohemia seats then it's a bonus. Either that or a set of the Pre-FL Elegance seats as I quite like the way they look!

I wonder if you'd still be able to get the seat base from somewhere. Matt has said himself that the seat bases are unavailable these days, so your best bet might be a low mileage Fabia to vulture the seat base from.

Me, whispering from the side: do it, buy it...
