Toms Fabia Build Thread

Featured Replies

Although there's a lot of pictures and threads around brisky with my car but just thought I'd start a build thread

Seeing as changes seem to be happening recently thought I better start a build thread.

Bought the car in 2008 in standard form pointless posting pictures as everyone knows what a standard black Fabia looks like.

I didnt do a lot to it at the start then I purchased wheels and painted the grille black to match the car

The wheels were in need of a refurb so had a crazy moment and got them done. also lowered it 25mm on Eibach springs also got a chequered roof to match

This didn't las long as I got bored quite quick and decided to go for the 'stealth' look also fitted flys eye tint on the headlights to fit in with this look.

It then stayed like this for a while, then I got a new job and decided to make a few changes

And got some Porsche twist replicas.

I loved these wheel but was sold them unknowing 3 of 4 were buckled. So they had to go as wobble over 60 isn't great

Then came the LM reps

Then eventually the much needed drop came

Only bought budget JOM coil overs but IMO they're good well made and give a great drop

I want to try and get another one done in a better location showing a side view too.

Those Jom coilovers are they just ride height adjustable or dampening?

Looking tidy man, they LM Rep's have made such a difference!

Adjustable mate, the rears are as low as they will go but the fronts can go a lot lower but the under tray won't agree

I bought the wheels from someone on edition38, try www.bmautosport.co.uk (or .com) they have them on and that's were mine are originally from.

Lovely motor. But I think it looked best in 'stealth' with the Spiders in Gun Metal Grey :thumbup:

Yeah don't get me wrong I liked the spiders but a lot of people have got them and IMO they don't suit the slammed look.

good build thread, i like the bbs rims but the cotys would look good back on imo :thumbup:

put the spiders back on :(

what size are the lm's? av got audi monoblocks to go on mine aswel as ap cpilovers.

looking good with the coilies, :thumbup:

Nice car, really love those rims :thumbup:

Yeh me too. By far the best I've had just dont know what colour to paint the centres.

You may have a slight problem with the reps not fitting over 312's :( They wouldnt fit on my mates ibiza anyway.

Yeh I was thinking this mate. Very very tight.

This is how low the under tray is.

Loving the stealth look. :thumbup:

Not sure how much the flys eyes tint effected the light output though?

Fair play for being original :thumbup:

Effected it a lot mate. I thought my xenons were going faulty. I will prob put it back on in summer or might go lamin x haven't made my mind up yet. Don't wanna risk opening up my xenon units to paint them invade I break them.

What colour are the spyders? Gum metal grey? Did you powdercoat them or do them yourself? Looks great!!
