So, the Fabia has had it's winter look on for a few weeks now, the story basically goes, i didn't want to run the polished TT comps over winter so bought steels, had them banded.... then clearly took lots of drugs and went on some kind of an orange/sticker trip, then decided a roof rack might set off the look too... it's funky and I get a lot of comments both good and bad while driving around!

No fear though guys, normal service will be resumed when the spring rolls around...

Anyway, I was at a New Years party last night and on my way home, at 4 in the morning might I add, i noticed a deserted multi - storey car park... Hope you enjoy the results:

Hope you like them and feedback is welcome!

Liking the wheels! Not sure that it's the route I'd go down myself, but I'm glad somebody has :yes:

Good work

That looks good Duggie.

Not sure about the high level numberplate. Makes it look too Rat/taxi IMO.

Other than that, looks good.

silly Q but what are banded steels?

Widened wheels, basically, they have been cut in half, had 1.5 inches added, then welded back together. Cool huh?

I was in Brighton last night dropping a member of the family off at a NYE party and some woman tried to get in (thinking I was a taxi) so i think that the numberplate may have to come of...

Thanks again guys,

I agree.....Why the high number plate?

If you were always towing something or had bike racks etc on the hatch, then putting the plate facing the rear may be sensible. However, I can't see how you would cover the front one, so needing it on the roof.

loving the wheels, dunno why i love orange haha, same though please lose the high number plate

sometimes there is no point... that's the point...

I do think the numberplate my be overkill though....

- Duggie.

tbh, I love the roof rack and the number plate! Imho, it gives the car a more powerful look that I'd want in winter.

The orange wheels though, not a big fan of but together with the bit of orange at the top it doesn't look too rediculous.

Overall *thumbs up*!

For the 1,000,000th time... Why doesn't the :drool: smiley work anymore

Big Fan mate.. got a soft spot for a well sorted non-vRS!

Thanks guys, got something quite special in the pipeline, but you'll have to wait until late spring/early summer for that...

ah i c is that safe sounds a bit dodgy?

Ditch the roof rack and numberplate together with the orange paint on the wheels, and it would look good

but then the cool kids wouldn't like it :|

Love it, gives me great faith that just lowering mine and changing the wheels will make a huge difference to its look - even with the standard body kit

Wait for summer and your wish will be granted, as for now, i think this stops it from blending into the tarmac....

Thanks guys!
