Hi Everyone,

Should be getting new Fabia vRS in September.

Silver with optional side airbags, otherwise as standard spec.

Dealer tells me it will be the 2005 facelift model. Skoda customer services says facelift Fabias are not yet being sent to dealers and my dealer is mistaken. Who is right?

When I do get it I was thinking of improving the audio system. Is it easy to replace the standard Skoda Symphony head unit and fit a standard DIN size and how easy is it to get at the rear speakers without causing any trim damage.

Any help would be appreciated.

Looking forward to speeding past my collegue in his Audi S3... Well maybe!

Good taste in cars must run in the Birkett blood.

Welcome to Briskoda and may september come quickly for you

Enjoy the site meanwhile and start planning what you need to do.

Yes, welcome. It seems us Birkett's do have good taste

ahhh these birkett's are everywere..hehe

Thanks for the welcome chaps. Only three weeks or so to wait........ Then it's the running in bit which always seems a lifetime. Well, they say patience is a virtue.

Welcome to the site!

THe running in period is not too much of a chore in the Furby, you can keep below 3000rpm and still enjoy a nice thump in the back now and then!

I agree, For years I have only known family members and a bakers in the Lakes with the same name.???

Wierd!!!!!!

Cheers
