  • Picked up the new VRS: 2013 Fabia VRS by Graeme_Smith, on Flickr

  • Popped to the garage at lunchtime to swap coolant temp sensor. I don't think it's the problem but it can't hurt. Going to swap O2 sensor later for the spare I have. Went well, all sorted in 5 mins. T

  • modified the cup holder     It's now a hobnob holder

Just removed my ARB bushes, chipped the plastic sleeves off the bar then re-fitted the bushes. Hopefully that will stop the creaking. :thumbup:

i stripped the new bargain door down and started sanding down ready for paint..........only to find out under half the existing paint is more rust than metal :(

I did the DIY short shift mod to my vRS and cleaned her inside and out :thumbup:

Won't be taking her for a "test drive" though as the roads are wet and will make my car dirty. :thumbdown::giggle::doh:

Snow foamed car, it looked immaculate then it chucked it down . Also fitted chrome indicator bulbs front and rear to stop that fried egg look B)

Drove it home from Skegness.

I did this yesterday :thumbup:

likin the wheels brimma :thumbup:

Nothing!!

Nothing!!

Slacker! ;)

I polished mine and fitted a "S2000 style" stubby aerial + vRS tax disc holder in black :thumbup: + cleaned air filter and resealed with silicone grease - proper job! :D:thumbup:

Also fitted osram nightbreakers (main beam) - got xenons dipped :)

Question :

The bulbs I took out were 100w(!) and the ones I put in were 55w... which I thought was the correct wattage for fabias... is that right?

Cars actually nearly perfect now :) just need to get the F1 eagles gsd3 (215 40 17) I have in the garage fitted to the rear - to improve looks more then anything haha

also will get new front shocks eventually.
