unless the law has been changed recently the tax disk only needs to be on the left hand side of the windscreen

and using it as a sun sheild is a good idea

The tax disc has to be displayed in the lower left side of the windscreen. If you dont, it is an offence.

But very nice car there:thumbup:

^We talking jail time here, i dont really fancy a long stretch?

yeah, 10 years lol. So long as its visable, i dont see too bigger problem. Some of our buses have the all over the show!

that's gorgeous!! so clean n shiny too

I think your car looks awesome, I love everything about and really want your LM's - Sell them to me!!!!!

awesome :thumbup:

Front plate is on this:

Is that not a bit dodgy if you get pulled?

I was expecting something a bit more 'James Bond' to be honest....

Steve

Nope, as its displayed all the time when i drive, when i lock the car, it tucks away

What engine you got in your car? It certainly looks the part

It's a 1.4 100bhp right Stuart?

Perfect for a 1.8 20vt conversion....

1.9 Sdi :P

Was looking at a 1.8t conversion fuel eco puts me off though

Thought about a PD150 but then its just really like a VRS so im not sure as yet!

Well, as an SDi owner, I can see why you'd be put off by anything with less mpg

It has to be the best looking sdi in the UK though

All depends on the mileage you do I suppose, as Super unleaded is a lot cheaper than diesel, and if I wasn't doing such a big mileage I would be straight back on a petrol!!

PS im still to sort out the size of the rear plate

were did you get that front bumper???? its awsome:thumbup:

Isn't it just a smoothed vRS front bumper Stuart?

Steve

Super unleaded is a lot cheaper than diesel, and if I wasn't doing such a big mileage I would be straight back on a petrol!!

What do you class as 'a lot' cheaper? There's 5p difference currently, at the Shell garage I use locally. 119 for diesel, 114 for Super.

Take a standard Fabia tank (45L) that's £2.25 saved if you fill with Super.

If you then take maybe an average of 30mpg with something petrol turbo'd, against, for arguments sake, 45mpg for a tweaked Fabia, you'll go 150 miles further. To equal the distance travelled with the diesel, you'd have to spend an additional £25.91 at the pumps (150/30)*4.545=22.725L*1.14=25.9065

I went through this exact thought process before I bought my second vRS last May, after having a Golf 1.8T for a short while

Steve

I do 20k a year, the car has just turned over 105k miles

Did i ever post up pics of the magnolia TT interior?

Oh and yeh the bumper is just a smoothed vrs one

I thought I could see something nicely coloured inside, on the pics above. Stick some proper interior shots up though

Steve

Just thought I'd drop a line on here and say that Stuart - i've seen your car loads on Scottishvag and I hope you dont mind - but yours is what has inspired me to buy a TDi Fabia! Not going down the usual VRs route either - looking for an Elegance PD100 for that extra bit of Q!

I went through that same process too, hence why I have a Fabia VRS now, and not a Golf GTI 1.8t Anniversay anymore:(

Wanna see that interior ASAP Stuart!

more details on how the bumper was done as that must have been a fair bit of work!

I am loving the front bumper...... The B pillers are nice to mate.
