vRS19TD

We found some winter wheels and tyres for sale on eBay, so took a road trip to the South coast and picked them up. Goodyears with plenty of thread left on them, they were a steal…

Rear badges were changed to more ‘modern’ ones…

Just a little project thread showing the SE my partner bought back in June 2018, Fabia vRS SE #532. Only a few subtle changes here and there since then. This was when she first picked it up and we decided to take both the Fabia’s for a drive:

Also amazed to be able to fit x5 alloys, x3 with tyres, and a gearbox into the boot without putting the backseats down or removing the parcel shelf. I completely underestimated the size of the boot on these.

Latest photo, taken down Cheddar Gorge on Sunday, showing aftermarket front fogs. Much prefer them over the originals. 😎

So, to update this, i’ve had it lowered for about 12 months on Eibach springs and Bilstein shocks, i’ve fitted bonnet struts, front strut brace, wheel spacers front and rear, wind deflectors, colour coded badges, changed the chrome lettering and front grille surround for black and fitted the front Maxton splitter. I’ve got some new front fog lights on the way and keep toying with Eibach front and rear arbs and also a remap. I said this was staying standard when i bought it. 🤦🏻‍♂️😆

Hi, Whilst this may be 4 years old, would you happen to still have the boot mat knocking around somewhere?? John

Last ever photos, taken last year, before it went down the scrap yard:

I know it would be, i was being sarcastic, that’s why i pit the winky face. 😉😊

I hadn’t actually thought about that. Might be a struggle with my alloys. 😉😆

I found the code 1KD on the boot sticker, so that matches and mine is the 150PS. Thanks very much for the breakdown and part numbers, very helpful. 👍🏻

Hi, Does anyone know the size of the front and rear brake discs on a 2.0TD SE Tech, save me having to remove the wheels to measure them, please?? Many Thanks.

Decided i would start a project thread for the inevitable upgrades/modifications that will happen to my Octavia SE Technology. Only bought it on Friday and got front strut brace and wind deflectors on the way.
