I think the CH's would look sweet if running a 215x35-18 tyre with a bit of stretch, are they 225x40's on there?

Hit edit on the 1st post, then hit advanced, or "use full editor".

I wanted a Red one too.. but got seduced by a black one at a car supermarket a couple of weeks before I started looking..

Still love Red Fabias!

Thanks:D

saw this in the port easter sunday real nice way the tt comps think the 18's maybe a bit big for them imo

Yea i agree, although a smaller tire would help it.. My mate had them sitting in his garage and i thought why not put them just too see how they looked, also if anyone wanted a set of bbs ch for their fabia they know how they will look:D

I thin 17" bbs ch would look better but i still prefere my tt comps..

What all have you done to your fabia??

IIRC they are 225x45, not too sure.. 215x35 would look well, but i think the cornering would be a bit shabby with such a streatch and with the 18`s??

Who needs photoshop when a bit of insulating tape does a better job:D

Opinions please red or black grill surround, or keep it chrome??

I like the chrome grille surround on red vRS's. On black cars I think the black surround is the best option but just looks odd on a red car. I also have a red vRS and have thought about changing the grille surround colour but in the end I chose to stick with chrome.

I'm liking the red surround

Would also like to add that the whole car looks superb!

RED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! why didn't i think of the tape idea

I have the spray ready for mine, just every time i go to do it i think the paint might not be a 100% match so chicken out

I will actually do it this weekend (he says :p)

i haven't really done anythin to it yet altho i found out recently tht it has a pd160 already in it

plan to get a set of coilovers, tint back windows, considering sprayin alloys anthracite and grill black as car is black ( would need to start some of these lol)

i was thinkin later on a stretched tyre would maybe set them off :yes:

Lovely looking ca,r love the tt comps, grill looks best in red,

Regards,

Jason.

I thought red looked good, But...

There is another way.... :yes:

Carbon wrap that badboy.

Not as severe as plain black paint as it's sort of patterned and catches the light,

also its more durable than paint in respect of stonechips.

Also it can be removed if you want to change the car back to standard.

If sprayed properly then all the chrome should be rubbed rough and etching primer used.

Once its done there's no turning back if you tire of it without spending a good few quid

on a new chrome bit.

As it happens, the grille that convinced me to get mine done was red, although

my vRS is black, If it had been red I'd still have gone carbon.

very nice m8 i was going 2 paint mine

but after seeing that wit the carbon

i have a boy in scotland getting me some carbon for my legacy

i think i will use it on the grille instead

red looks best imo, although the black would work better if you had black rims

Hmm i never liked the big chrome grill, and have decided ill vinyl wrap it so i can change it when i please:D

Lol i just seen the red tape sitting when ever i was *studying* and thought ahh lol.. Yea i know what you mean, i wouldnt feel confident spraying mine, which is another reason for going with a carbon vinyl!

Nice suprise:D Same as myself i had loads of plans but only started doing them almost a year later lol.. Your plans sound good, i just wouldnt tint the windows, expecialy on a black car. Unless you got a really light smoke tint, but i like the interior so i wouldnt pay money to hide it, when i dont think itl help the look lol.. But if you like it then each to their own:D (im quite sure not many people will like the square plate i put on the front of my car lol) anthracite on black would look well..

Ahh.. Great idea, carbon wrap it will be:D As you say its not as plain as black and wont look like a unpainted grill, and vinyl should hold up against stone chips.. Got a quote of £20 to do it today which i think is reasonable.

Thanks for all the comments..

Today i decided to do something i always was curious to see how it would look on the fabia, I know it wont be to many peoples taste but i like it and its a bit of a change for a while until i get some pressed plates.

I dont think the photos do it justice, but fire away what ever you think:D

it really doesnt suit at all, and im all for crazy mods, but may it just looks naff, maybe if you removed the plate recess???

Yea but if you remove the plate recess it requires smoothing off, and alot of work+ money.. I do think it looks better in real life, but still i know it wont be to many people`s liking lol:D

Thanks..

Love the look of the car but don't like the plate, not just the square but font wise. Call me old fashioned but I prefer the original. Red grille looks cool and really like the chrome wheels

red colour coded grill every time and standard size plate.. :yes:

the bbs ch's look really nice on the car. think 17's would be better tho.

red colour coded grill every time and standard size plate.. :yes:

+1

Just a quick photoshop to show how a square plate could look good!

Hmm not convince on that one. Although if i ever got the number plate surround smoothed off i would think bout a side mount plate..

Eventually got around to doing something more permanent with the chrome grill, bought some 3M carbon wrap and wrapped it along with the splitter.. Still need to do something with the number plate surround, had thought carbon wrap but think it would look silly and be a waste of 3m carbon lol. Perhaps pressed plates in the future..

Got a set of Porsche twists so I can keep my tt comps good as I got fed up polishing them only for them to look crap after driving in the rain once.. But the twists have actually really grown on me.

Anyway what you think?? Other than the fact the car needs a good wash lol..

I really really really really like that. Looks Did i mention i like it? lol

what size adaptors you running?
