Alex's red Mk1 Fabia vRS BMN/BLT 16v hybrid - GTBvklr
alex_e3 replied to alex_e3's topic in Fabia Projects
Yes yes I know I know!! Still happening yes. Work and life generally sort of taken over a bit! Plus always other people's cars coming before my own!! Hoping for some updates in a couple of.... months... -
Lofty's Sprint Yellow Fabia vRS Mk1 - "Project Daffodil"

I'll have you know I am not Matthew!!! -
Cheers for the pics Charlie. Looks fairly neat from the pics to be honest! Did you have to modify the black plastic backing piece of the grille to fit it in? Car's looking good!

What colour you gone for? I'm sure I've seen a grey one about Wrexham near the train station a couple of times... I'm there every week (usually weekends to catch up with family), so may see you about! (red one here!) -

I got mine on March 8th. Ordered at tail end of September initially. I was told January at first. Great car - worth the wait! -
Charlie, do you have a picture of the rear of the honeycomb grille please? Contemplating doing this to mine, but don't want it messy underneath. Cheers!

May seen you about... I'm down the road in Deeside. Also red - by choice though, as I love red cars with black features! -

I had a pretty bad experience from Simpson's to be honest. The guy may as well have just chucked the keys at me and told me to be on my way!! -
Dash cam fitting on new car

I'm new to the Octy scene to be honest. Had Mk1 Fabia's for years - much simpler! Sounds blummin' awful -
Dash cam fitting on new car
alex_e3 replied to alex_e3's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
Great, thank you guys! Made me feel a lot better about it now, as wasn't looking forward to have to splice into the loom on a brand new motor! Haven't looked at the dash cam yet, but I'm thinking about a permanent live hardwire, so it will pick up anyone near the car when it's parked up. Will update once I've fitted! -
I'm getting a dash cam this week for the new 245. Has anyone fitted one to a newer vRS? Just wondering what the interior comes apart like. Last thing I want to do it break something on a brand new car - or just as bad, create a rattle! Normally very good at stuff like this, just a bit nervous with it being new. Also, where did people wire into? I will go searching for what I need with a test lamp, but would be handy to have an idea! Thanks all!

If it's 'only money', why did you buy a Skoda?... -

Wonder how much these will be worth after the 2 years has passed for the lease... -
