hey all, its almost my 18th birthday, and after a year of driving a beat up old corsa. my parents have decided too buy me a new car for my 18th.

after looking at all the usual routes like golfs, focus, etc etc.

i decided i really l ike fabias, did a insurance quote, got one for £1300.

it would be the 1.4,and im a guy

the car would be 52 - 55 plate.

so ive set my heart on a fabia, either silver or black, poss red.

now for the cool stuff, i wanna modify it, not garishly but well. so heres my ideas, tell me what you think, and if its possable

Front: Debaged grill, xeon headlamp bulbs, LED sidelights. LED daytime running lamps next too the fog lamps/

Side, not alot, colourcode the door handles, and new wing mirrors

rear, debage, LED numberplate lights,

remove the wiper on rear window

Windows: Tinted,

lower the suspention, about 25 mill? not sure what looks best

alloys, i was thinking black ones on a red or silver car, silver/white on a black one. would audi TT rims fit? or can you suggest some nice wheels, that require no modification, around (£200) i dont want them too stick out. so poss the fabia vrs wheels?

a new backbox. not a massive one, just like the one thats fitted too the audi RS6, but not so big lol.

inside.

7 inch touch screen sat nav combo, im thinking its got a polo interior, so the sat navs available should fit the gap. ( they have radio, sat nav, ipod conectivity etc)

uprated door speakers, im not sure what sizes i would need? any ideas? or how good are the standards with a new headunit

im not sure what the bass is like in the standard fabia speakers, so poss a sub in the boot? with a amp

im not sure if it has kick plates in the doors, but i would change these too be metal.

finaly some footwell lights, but im not sure about these, they could look quite tacky.

graphics? like the side stripes on a fiesta st?

i would like too have a bodykit, but all the ones on sale are proper crappy ones that look so stupid. is there anyway of gettin hold of a vrs kit for the standard fabia?

opions, ideas greatly apprisiated.

i will have about £1100 for all the modifications. i want it too look smart and subtle not taky and chaved up,.

Great forum!

Welcome to briskoda,

Welcome along, Grand plans for world domination you have there but be aware that most modifications will have to be declared on your insurance and as a young lad your premium could be hiked significantly.

Worth posting in the Fabia section too for a more focused audience

...be aware that most modifications will have to be declared on your insurance and as a young lad your premium could be hiked significantly.

Yeah, don't be surprised if your 1100 quid gets split: GBP200 for new wheels and GBP900 for higher insurance. Most places won't touch a modified Fabia!

Welcome and good luck getting insured!

You are going to get bent over at 18, with that shopping list!

And £1100 is very ambitious, sadly!

Audi TT Comps will set you back upwards of £300 dependant on condition, then £60 a tyre. Suspension is another £350+ for a good kit that won't break. Decent double-din touch screen satnav etc will be £500+. Tinting about £100. All your lighting plans will set you back £200-300. Then pretty much add that together and add it to your insurance premium!

welcome to briskoda

Welcome to Briskoda. Yes Audi TT comps will fit as below and another few pics of black wheels on a silver car.

Hello and welcome. Like the plans you have put as said brace yourself for the insurance re quote. There are a few sets of wheels in the for sale section you could take a look at.
