  1. That's what I had on the car. At the time Karl was making them and selling the kits.
  2. It's not an official figure, just a reference to the amount of cars I've seen pass through these forums with it fitted.
  3. Lovely indeed, hands down best car I've owned! still miss it now. My A4 Avant 170 suits my lifestyle much better now, but not half as fun or pretty
  4. Looking good, I used Collinite 476s as my go-to wax for what must've been close to 8 years. Great, but yes a tedious process. I ran out recently so gave Dodo Juice a try; it's so much easier to apply and remove! Would've made the switch ages ago had I known. Still early days with how long the coat lasts, Collinite was average at that so I'm sure this will be in there, no or less. The effort I save I could double up on ever coat.
  5. Yeh should probably note as I keep getting enquiries. Provisionally sold to this man!
  6. Two items left, will take offers on the calipers as I want them gone.
  7. doubtful as I had to trim it down to fit in the fabia. send me the measurements of your polo and I could tell you. If it doesn't, you could make it fit...
  8. End of an era :( Car is now sold. I took some last minute pics of the car (hence why I was running late for the sale Ben ) Will upload these soon. In the mean time, I have a few items FOR SALE
  9. Two items left for sale. Will post anywhere for additional on both items. Standard vRS Rear Calipers and pads. £40 ONO picked up Bristol I bought these off another user with the intentions of buying 312mm brakes and painting all calipers at the same time, then switching all over. Would recommend to anyone considering a 312mm upgrade as it means you don't have to faff around with your existing rear brakes, just change over all at the same time. Please note: these have been off a car for around two years, so no doubt the pistons will need some sort of attention prior to fitting. They're in good condition, just need a good clean. I've cleaned one side of one up a bit for reference. Set of 4 steel wheels £80 picked up from South Wales. 4 spare wheels from fabias making up a set of steel wheels. I used this set on my Fabia over the winter just gone. No curbing or major scratches, marks on faces of wheels are gum marks from the spare wheels stickers. Tyres are no good. One is bald, one has a slow puncture, one has 5mm tread but a bulge (pictured below, use at own discretion), final tyre is good with 4mm odd. Wheels are located South Wales not Bristol currently, contact me for arrangements Wheel 1 Wheel 2 Wheel 3 Bulge: Tread on bulge tyre: Wheel 4 Good tyre: JL Audio 10" Sub. 10W0v3-4 SOLD This item is new, It's come out of its box and test mounted into a custom sub box I was making, then just sat in a wardrobe in a spare room. Comes with original box. Here it is on the JL Audio website.
  10. Maybe I should have listed it for more! :P A4 Avant TDi S Line is top of the list at the moment, currently trawling though ads trying to find a decent one. Other options are Diesel Estate Passat Sport and Octavia vRS.
  11. The satnav was a factory option from new, no retro fit here! It cost around £1800 with the maxidot display, so very rare on the fabia (literally only know of 2 other cars with it)
  12. Sure. Tells you which door is open (inc boot) Here's the menu: It talks to the Sat Nav and gives you directions on the dash, as well as radio/cd info: And in trip mode, will show you music info plus temperature, plus whatever trip you choose in centre: Clock stays on rev dial at all times, which I believe is where the standard trip computer displays?
  13. My car is for sale so the steering wheel is going separately. Lovely steering wheel, it's the same shape as the original Octavia/Fabia vRS, but retrimmed in leather. Soft matt finish £120 plus your standard steering wheel (must be perfect nick, must be perforated version found on vRS). Will need your wheel first, or can meet to exchange. Located Bristol/South Wales.
  14. Car Fabia vRS, 1.9 TDi. Colour Black Year 2005/05 plate Mileage 104,800 (driven daily so ill rise) Tax End of Nov 2014 MOT Oct 2014 Service major service 6k/6 months ago Location Bristol/South Wales Optional Extras Maxidot Display, Sat Nav double DIN, Xenon headlights You'll struggle to find better looked after, non-show car. I bought this Oct 2011 and have replenished pretty much every aspect, restoring cosmetics, fixing mechanics and only adding modifications that should have been there in the first place. The car has the above specification, plus full service history (Skoda stamped up to my ownership, then all work carried out by myself or qualified audi/seat mechanic friend). From my knowledge the number of Fabias with the maxidot sat nav option fitted are in the single figures. Add to that the factory fit xenon headlamps and full leather interior, it's a pretty rare car! The car comes with a logbook I made, including documentation of pretty much every receipt and bit of work spent on the car. Alongside each receipt I've added a description of the work carried out. You can view the build thread of the car here. Further more, I started a Fuelly account for the car at the time of purchase, which documents every fuel fill up I've ever made. I'll hand over the account details so you can carry it on yourself. This includes stats on genuine MPG figures, price of fuel, annual fuel costs, distance travelled etc.. I only ever fuel the car with full fill ups. It goes without saying that this car has been exceptionally well looked after. The engine is always given the chance to heat up and cool down on journeys to ensure the longevity of the turbo. I never tailgate to avoid excessive stone chips and the car is always parked in the quietest areas of car parks to avoid excessive dings (much to my girlfriend's dismay!) Modifications in a nutshell (full list below), it's had colour coding to all necessary external parts, lowered on coilovers and mint condition OEM wheels finished in shadow chrome. The engine is remapped by Shark Performance. Interior I've had the seats and doorcards trimmed in leather by Seat Surgeons, all green double stitching with quilted and perforated inserts. Various interior parts have also been professionally painted piano black. Audio includes the OEM double DIN, Hertz HE4 amp, Alpine Type G component speakers and sound proofed doors and boot. All audio is properly installed and hidden for original appearance. Full list of modifications Exterior Colour coded numberplate surround Colour coded front grill Colour coded door handles Side strips removed Leon Cupra R front splitter LED sidelights LED foglights LED numberplate lights Chrome indicator bulbs Aero front wiper Rear Polo 9N wiper and aero blade Coming Home light kit fitted. (side and foglights come up automatically when dark and car is unlocked) Shadow Chrome OEM wheels Mechanical Shark Performance Remap (around 170-175BHP) AP coilovers Cupra solid bushes Powerflex front bushes Interior Seat Surgeons leather seats Seat Surgeons leather doorcards Seat Surgeons leather arm rest Fabia mk2 arm rest Piano black vent surrounds Piano black door handle surrounds Piano black gear stick surround LED interior lights LED glovebox light LED bootlight Metal vRS footrest Parrot Bluetooth handsfree Sound Hertz HE4 4-channel amp Alpine Type G front component speakers Soundproofed front doors Soundproofed tailgate Soundproofed boot 'Fake floor' cover for amp finished in OEM carpet (sits in rear offside footwell) Cabling for sub plumbed in Condition Paintwork The condition of the paintwork is fantastic for its age. I spent 16-17th June 2014 doing a full detail on the car ready for sale. This included a full machine cut polish, clay, glaze, wax. In September 2013 I had the front and rear bumpers resprayed to bring them back up to new condition. As expected with a car this age and mileage, there are some cosmetic scratches and chips, I can be specific upon enquiry, but generally nothing to worry about. Interior I've spent a lot of time replacing various plastic panels to replace scratched ones etc.. I haven't yet found a suitable replacement to the glovebox, so that does have a few scratches on it. Leathers look pretty much as new as the day they were fitted. I perform an acrobatic manoeuvre every time I get in the car to ensure no excessive wear is carried out on the bolsters! The boot latch on occasion is problematic to open, a little downward pressure as you open it always solves this. I'll try and get this fixed prior to sale. Doesn't happen enough for me to be concerned with it previously. Engine The engine runs perfectly. All fluids and filters were changed in Dec 2013. In Jan 2014 I had the battery, cambelt, tensioners and waterpump changed, also told mechanic to change whatever was necessary to ensure it was running 100%. He replaced all boost clips, boost pipe, radiator (small coolant leak by plug) and rocker cover gasket. I had the remap done in June 2012, it adds a nice smooth improvement to the performance. From this point, under heavy load only (full car of people going up hills) the clutch sometimes felt like it was slipping. I instantly bought a OEM Sachs clutch kit to replace it, but was advised to wait until it got worse before replacing as the problem is so seldom. Since that day, it hasn't gotten any worse, so I've never had it replaced. I will include this new clutch kit in the sale. Wheels The alloy wheels are in perfect condition. I took them off the car for the winter, and were stored in a cool dry place. They will go back on for sale (just awaiting tyres). Further more on tyres, it needs 4 new ones. I've had a full set of cost effective tyres priced up fitted for £160. At the buyers consent I will go ahead and have these fitted prior to sale. Alternatively I will offer you this as cashback and you can fit whatever tyres you want. The car is currently sitting on steels which aren't included in the sale. Pictures Taken last September but looks exactly the same now Seats at the time of fitting Amp hidden in offside rear footwell Factory fit double DIN sat nav unit Price It's well documented online that a stock car of this year and mileage will cost around £3000. However the xenon headlamps, maxidot display and leathers alone exceed the value of that base price, so I am offering the car for £4200 with new budget tyres and spare clutch kit. I'm located in Bristol but all my family live in South Wales, so either locations for a viewing is possible. I'm currently looking to replace this with a VAG diesel estate. Ideally pre-face lift Octavia vRS TDi or A4 Avant S-line TDi. So a deal for cars of this spec warmly welcomed! Tim - 07917062133
