Right, I`v had my Fabia for a while, and done a little total of the things I`v done and how much they have cost. I`v been a bit of a bargain hunter, the total opposite to my mate who has expensive taste. So here is a bit of a run down of what cost what. . . . .

Wheels and suspension & brakes;

S3 Avus wheels with new tyres £330

Eibach Coilovers (used 6k on them) £250/£100 fitting

312mm calipers, carriers, discs (used) and new pads from a octy vrs £175/£40 fitting

Performance mods;

Scorpion cat back £240 fitted

Sachs clutch (used) £300/£100 fitting

Hybrid/Remap/EGR delete/Fitting £1500

Seat Sport FMIC/Forge Pipes £480/£70 fitting

PD160 Intake £30

So, in total around £3000 in parts, and £500ish in labour. However, if you wanted to build a fast fabia on the cheap, the wheels are obviously not needed, nor is the exhaust. Meaning its possible to do it all for less than £3000 all in, or even less if your handy with your hands. When you consider how cheap fabia`s can be picked up for, and what can be done with one, they are pretty good "bang for buck" imo.
