Recently got my roof done chequer board style. I'm sure it's not to everyone's taste but felt compelled to share it none the less

Apologies for poor quality photo.

Regardless - that does look like a good job!

Cheers - ended up getting it for free in the end which was a nice bonus!

I really like it mate, I like it that it's different most of all though, I'm going for the original look myself nothing as loud as your roof but getting there how's it done paint or vinyl wrapping?

This ones Vinyl, original plans would have seen a gloss black base underneath it to keep it subtler, but unfortunately it didn't work out, hence free. Every cloud has a silver lining

I think I like it...any shots of the whole car so I can make up my mind?

Ask, and yee shall recieve

Nice nice nice car!! Detango those indicator bulbs to chrome then it'll be a nice nice nice nice car

How would I go about doing this ^^

Nip to your nearest Halfords etc & buy a set of chrome indicator bulbs. They're chrome on the outside but still flash orange. Whip the old ones out and in with the new! Easy. They're about a fiver a pair. There are 2 types of offset pin though. Take one of the orange ones with you to match the pins. You'll see what I mean when you take the bulb out.

The Fabis has off-set pins. Try ebay for the bulbs - way cheaper than Halfrauds.

That's gorgeous, i love the fabia in white!

alas, you seem to have the same problem as me with your offside front bumper :/

^^ Buggered clips by the bumpers previous owner. Got another bumper, just need to transplant the bottom part across.
