Well managed to pick up a few parts to make the wifes 1.2 Silverline a little bit more special. Got a brand new vRS front bumper with all grilles and plate plinth, brand new vRS rear bumper, brand new facelift rear lights and oem Skoda black b post trim for a bargain, less than the cost of a new vRS rear bumper Just need to collect the parts and get it painted and the modding will begin

good luck, if im right, you may need a special bit of trim to clip the rs bumper on...I think I needed to get one because the standard one wasn't long enough? but i'm sure it'll all be good fun!

A vRS lookalike with a 1.2 engine.....all show and no go.....lovely.

Haha indeed! Not my idea of a "nice car" either :p

I normally prefer it the other way around

Don't really care if it's all show and no go, it's the wifes car and she's a new driver who doesn't do many miles so the 1.2 is perfect for her, just want it to look a bit nicer. It won't be badged as a vRS so not trying to kid anyone. I have my car if we need power, and when I come to sell mine I plan on getting her a mini and taking her Fabia and doing a 1.8T conversion.

How is it not a "nice car" either? It's the exact same as a vRS with a smaller petrol engine. I'm sure if the 130 TDi was available in the same trim as a lesser model you would still pick the vRS because of it's styling.

Fair enough, maybe I was a little off on the "nice car" bit. What I meant to say is its just not the way I would go about things - but then again its not my car if you want to make it look like a de-badged vRS thats up to you.

I personally would put my money towards a nice suspension setup for when you get the 1.8T engine in it!

But at least you have the styling sorted for when you do

Not meaning to nitpick but the vRS is not exactly the same, as it as has a 6 speed gearbox, different shocks, a thicker front anti roll bar and larger brakes.

My wife just passed her test this morning and I have got her a Corsa B as her first car.

I will also be looking for bits to tidy it up.

The all show and no go bit I understand but I would relate that more to young drivers who think that bumpers etc adds bhp

I think Fabia's are nice little cars and a little bit of styling doesn't hurt plus it sounds like you got it for a price you couldn't refuse

Skoda black b post trim for a bargain

Where did you get this from? I have been looking for ages. Not available through Skoda any more...

3rd or 4th item down buddy. Its for an estate but I reckon the b pillar trim

would be the same. At £14.98 for an 8 piece set you can just do the middles.

To Big A

Do you need a tailpipe sir?? :p To go with your nice new vrs bumper??

Maybe we could do a deal....

Congratulations to your wife Nothing wrong with getting bits to make it look a bit nicer, just so long as it's not raiding Halfords bargain bucket for bits

Yeah got everything for a fantastic price that I am well happy about

Managed to find a brand new set on eBay mate. Paid pretty much what they cost from dealer, but because they're discontinued now wasn't too fussed paying a little bit more than you'd expect to on eBay.

I think the estate kit will fit too if you just use the middle bits. It's only £1 dearer than the hatch kit when it was available.

Mmmmmm yes and no Garry, can get an oem Skoda vRS style tip pretty cheap, but what you got I might be interested

New driver! and deeper spoiler! I can hear crunching sounds on high kerbs.

She should be ok, she's seen me often enough near high kerbs with my Anni valance on my lowered Bora so knows better Thats why I'm not putting a Cupra splitter on it just yet to see how she gets on too

Nothing wrong with putting a vRS front on a non vRS, aslong as you dont put the badges on, and i'd yeah i'd leave the splitter for a while yet.

Thanks for the suggestions re the estate kit above I shall try that and report back...

No worries dxg.

Also managed to get a genuine vRS rear roof spoiler for a steal through the week, so now have everything I need to do the exterior
