My Fabia VRS REDLINE Photoshoot

[novaneil]

Hi all,

Haven't posted on here for a while but I finally finished my Fabia a few months ago to the standard I wanted it at so I thought i'd send a few pics to REDLINE Magazine, as I get the mag every month and they are now prodominately interested in "Fast Road Cars" and not track / drift / styled cars like they used to a few years back.

They got straight back to me and said it'll be perfect for a feature To which I was very happy about.

The car will be in the June Edition of the Magazine (available in May) and I "think" its going to be the first Skoda Fabia they've ever featured

Below are some of my pics of the car from over the years. Then some pics I took on my camera phone whilst the car was being Photographed for the Mag.

Hope you like

I own the car now, and I'm thinking about the grill.........

It looks out of place, and I'm leaning towards body color............

Not bothered about rear lights TBH.

Aerials been swapped for an S2K one too.........

Hi mate, Yes thats me Corsa is nearly finished now, haven't updated the Corsasport thread for ages though

They did indeed mate :yes: But I thought the San Bernardino was better personally, The Stelvio was difficult to see around the corners and there were too many cyclists on it to really enjoy it

LOL, didnt stop us on the same trip giving it some beans, we found after awhile they either heard us coming, saw us coming, or bounce of pretty easy mate
