Hi Gav, thanks for your response, spider wheels definitely worth looking into. Cheers, Reuben.

Hello all greetings from Scotland, I recently picked up a MK1 Fabia vrs - 99k miles, red, black and white interior, and most importantly... unmolested. After owning it for only a month now I am in love with the way the car drives, the way the power is delivered is like nothing I've ever driven before. that may sound like quite an extreme statement, especially as I work in a car dealership and get to drive a plethora of cars daily, but even when compared to the driving experience from a golf R, Cupra Leon or polo GTI, Id still take the Fab out for a blast on a twisty B road. The car feels very special to me as my previous car was a Audi a3 8v with a 1.0 3cyl engine packing a gutless 116hp - although it cannot be faulted as a comfortable, reliable daily driver that Is relatively cheap to run. Not cheap to buy though, I took this car out on finance and mildly regretted in after the first monthly payment left my account. Coincidently the car only ended up lasting 6 weeks before I was t-boned by a Dacia duster. Typical. On the search for a new car I stumbled across the fab which I had never really considered buying, but after doing some due diligence and seen the brilliant reviews of the car itself and the pd130 engine it was a no brainer from there. She's far from perfect but I am excited to have a car that I can dump some money and time into to make my own, not only to have a sick car but also to learn some stuff about working on cars. As far as my plans for the car I am not the biggest fan of the reeky ones but I know the engine is effortlessly capable of making more power, but to be honest for now the 130bhp is plenty for the icy cold Scottish winter. Maintenance before mods Getting a health check done on the car at work - luckily one of our technicians has been a Skoda Master tech since before I was even born so I know its in good hands. Cosmetically I would like to sort out the rust, refurb the alloys (am I better just getting new ones?) and the black and white seats need a very very deep clean. Any advice, suggestions or tips would be greatly appreciated. Best Regards, Reuben.
