What happened to it?

Main Shaft in gearbox went Kaboom! so i uprated clutch and flywheel and got all the other stuff done

Ouch. Too much power? Not that you can have too much power of course, but you know what I mean!

gearbox went at 67k

40k at hybrid power....

i believe the drive-shaft had been leaking for a period of time, which ran the box dry which made it pooooop itself, in tremendous fashion!!

Never noticed it has a black roof. That is though IMO, one of the nice nicest Fabia's on here. Just colour code the door handles and you're onto a winner. Thnik the sticker looks surprisingly good too.

And xenons FTW!

not so much roar on the diesel obviously, but does make a nice tone...

obviously gives more induction note than a panel filter and looks better, performance increase would be negligible id say

Roof is Anthracite Vinyl, £140

My gearbox has just gone too, awaiting to see the damage lol
