yeah- was 70quid from autobra. . .the bonnet and front end of mine looks like its bin constanly drove behind a wagon carrying pebbles. . so altho the bra for me is more about looks its also very practical to protect whats left of decent paint lol.

Also fitted a leon cupra r splitter,yet another lil mod that seems to make the car stand out.

Just wanted to get peoples opinions on my car. . .
Got it in feb this year,1 lady owner,39k miles, an 07 car on a 56 plate . . .
first addition to the car was the bonnet bra coz ive always bin a fan of the euro look. . .
i also sticker bombed the rear regplate recess. . .
after 2 months i was used to the power so took it to JBS for a stage 1 map. . .took it to a rolling road day and it produced 163bhp and 264ft/pound of tourque. . shortly after the turbo went bang and was replaced with a new standard unit. . .so im hoping that may have pushed the bhp and torque up.
the car then stood like this for a few months. . .
saved up a bit and ordered a new set of wheels and eibach pro -25mm springs
With the springs fitted-
the springs made the handeling ALOT better instantly and stopped alot of the ducking and diving under acceleration and braking.
next was the wheels(17" lenso bsx with black centres). . .instantly transforming the cars image. . .
=D ..i think it needs to come down a bit more so im looking into coilovers but also have quotes for airride (Y)
shortly after i tinted the front lights and fogs with fly eyes kit.(this is visible in the wheels photo)
mixing it up a bit a got a jap style towing eye at USC. . .i quite like the look.
and most recently ive had the exhaust done-turbo back decat 3"stainless with twin 3" exits,this has opened the car up loads. . .the difference is unreal.
heres how it looks-
now im gonna start saving for a FMIC and maby stage 2 mapping. . .anyone give me advice on fmic's?. . .ive heard some bad things about forge front mounts but there doesnt seem to be many other options. . .
LET ME KNOW WHAT YA THINK. . .=]

Around 200miles i think. . haha

was the turbo . . .it'd blew and shot nearly all the engine oil thru the intercooler and even into the cylinders,hence why it wouldnt start . .coz the engine couldnt get air . . .just got it back yesterday after nearly two weeks . .was all under warrenty too =D
happy days

yeah all electrics work . . cam belt is fine. . fuel is still gettin thru . . checked that . . intake is clear but dunno bout exhaust . . still waiting to hear from garage
i hope to god its not the turbo . .ive heard that if one injector goes down it automaticaly shuts down the rest of em. . but i dnt have the stuff to strip the engine and look . .
its only done 42k . . and was running fine before . .no warning or anything
=[

does the egr delete make more of a differance? . . .ive had mine remapped and spoke to people about egr delete but they say it's pointless because at full throtle the egr is closed anyway . .

i only got my vrs fabia yesterday, ive got a problem with the front wipers . . they work fine, but there sat high . . when the sweep up they go all the way back to where i presume they should stay then come back up about a quarter . . .
im sure the should obv live slightly under the edge of the bonnet not half way up the screen . . .
anyone help me on solving this and how i can get em to stay in there proper place? =]

i love the wheels it was either them or some rota grids or summat simelar but i prefere the euro look. . .im thinking bout ordering anutha 2 wheels for the back but an inch wider.
also thinking of getting the nut covers in the centre of the wheels colour coded with the car coz i think it looks cool
i also think if i get the car sat down a bit more it'll pull the wheels off better,as i say ive got airride quote but need alot of saving up b4 thats gonna happen lol.
thanks for the replys tho.
