Fabia I The Dub Fabia - Pr0j3ct Gr33n

[Conor-vRS]

Well ownership of this fab started last november,after having a silver one which was wrote off by a drunk driver.:thumbdwn:

2006,27k on the clock,leather and cruise control options.

Always had a fair idea of the route i was going to take (euro),but funds restricted me from getting the rims i wanted.LCRS,lamin-x front lights and fogs,debadging,de-wipering and c/c grill soon followed the weitec coilies...

After finally getting sick of the standard rims,i decided i needed some cheap rims to keep me happy until i was able to afford the rimmage i wanted.Saw these on a local forum,in poor shape.So snapped them up and got them polished!Also fitted 20mm spacers to the rear...stance anyone?

The car was in a few shows like this,but i was quickly bored.so for the castlewellan show i decided to go a little loopy for ****s and giggles!

Yellow lamin-x,custom vinyl for badges,the skoda badge with vinyl of the 'concept' skoda badge,green inserts on comps!Calipers painted flourescent green.

Won best skoda in show!:eek:

[Conor-vRS]

After getting bored of the novelty,i decided to paint the inserts black again...

Out of total chance one day when getting the car aligined,spotted these gathering dust in a corner.All brand new,garage had ordered them and the guy never came back to collect them,they had been lying there for a couple of years.

5X130 to 5X100 30mm (rear) and 25mm (front) H&R adapters were purchased,and against the 52 offset gave a nice spacing of 10 and 5 mm against the comps.Also changed the laminx to dark again,but kept the yellow fogs...

Love the wee car,and they are uber-rare over here,so it gets a huge amount of attention!I know some of the mods are a little random and not to everyones taste,but i have plans in my head of what the car will look like,so until i can afford that,ill just keep messing around with different looks!:P

All C&C welcome!

Stunning looking car

[klloyd89]

great looking car! love it on the comps, dont spose you have a photo direct from behind of how wide it is do you?

[TDi Vrs]

are you running the helper springs on the rear of the collies

[Conor-vRS]

Apart from the 7th pic down naw mate!but it ran pretty feckin wide on the 20mm spacers!lol

And by rear helpers do you mean adjusters?!If so no,adjusters were never in!

[Babs]

Needs more stretch on the back, then you have stance

But otherwise, very tidy!

[Conor-vRS]

Yeah Babs,they are 205s,as were the front,but i couldnt justify going to 195s all around when the fronts were done when the rears were perfectly fine!

Wheels are possibly for sale...

[andy-boy]

That drop looks perfect, love it.............

[vrsadz]

looks good mate

[Conor-vRS]

Havent been on in a while, so ill update...

Well i got the weitecs & twists sold about 6 weeks ago. Pretty much immediately, i bought these....

Gotti g001s, 16x8 et8 & 16x9 et24, 5x120 BMW fitment. In almost perfect condition, never been split! Apparently forged in June 1998!

Also...

Rayvern air kit, which me and a couple of mates are fitting. Still waiting on the custom front shocks to arrive!

Then got the tyres on the gottis...

195/40s on 9s!lol

Anyway, ill keep all updated, front shocks should be on their way, and also still waiting on custom adapters, as the mental offsets mean i have to get them as shallow as possible! :p

[devonutopia]

That's insane stretch. Wonder when it actually becomes illegal? I think it's when you can see the inside of the rim?

[Conor-vRS]

I think its a grey area. As far as i know as long as there is no thread past the wheel arch its ok!

[Musil]

ooo man this looks great A+++++ Is the leather interior original? Becouse we in Croatia didnt see this anyware?

[Babs]

Yeah it's a very grey area. MOT spec is tread outside of the arches, C&UR advises about things that are "unsafe... causing injury to pedestrians/other road users" (paraphrased). Some po-po have argued that having the wheel stuck out is a danger to peds, but then again, the wing mirrors are out further, and surely Atoms/Westfields/Caterams all have "outboard" wheels and they're perfectly legal. You can argue that Japs have done it for years, even drifting on massively stretched tyres, and HotRodders have been doing it for far longer. But you can also argue that some tyre manufuactuers publish "approved sizes" for their tyres and figment beyond those cause breach something in the C&UR.

Like I said, very grey!

I personally wouldn't run that much stretch, but I drive my car hard

Will look awesome on the air though, and I love the Gotti's!

[Nick P]

You doing any shows in England this year? Always liked this car and looking forward to seeing it on the air and gottis.

[danroly]

conor........looks the nuts mate, i actually like the cheaper wheels you put on, really suit the car.is the c/c grille easy to fit? i got an octy in black but im sure the process is similar.

[grr666]

Did you remove the headlights to lamin-x them?

Or fit it whilst on the car?

Looks like a great finish on those headlights.

Easy to fit??

[Tom_vRS]

EPIC stance will be the result I'm sure!

When's the air being fitted?

[adele_90]

That looks great!

[bkeo]

Savage, looks brilliant,

You go through alloys faster than most people go throgh tyres
