Those from UD?

I didnt see your car about :wonder: lookign good though.

Both cars are looking good Jake.

Was good to meet you at Fast Show. My pic of your car seems to have been destroyed when I compressed the size to be able to post on here :(

You're coming to Combe on Saturday right? - I'll be there too and will be (hopefully) getting some decent pics of the cars on the stand...

Car Looks cracking mate! That red one is lush too.

I think the stickers will spoil it, personally.

see my sig Scott

Agree with the 312s - every fabia should have a set...

i honeslty dont see the difference? are they a brighter red? those look like the same rear lights as mine?

the white parts are extended and there isn't raised parts on the rear light

threw this together.....the one on the left is mine, and i thought the one on the right was from base model....i.e. 1.4 etc?

or is that them mines facelift? i thought the facelift was newer than mines still.

No mate, you are correct

left is facelift, right is pre-facelift

I'm sure that DRJ will be along any moment to tell us the exact date of the change :p

looks superb mate, hows the ride quality of those JOM coilies, think its the set im going for soon, would you reccomend?

scott yeah i would recommend jom coilies there hardish but by far the best value. make sure you either get shorter anti roll bar links or a different anti roll bar. i went for the links as it was alot cheaper.

312's and facelift rear lights

yeaaah i have a bloke ready to give me the complete set up but lack of funds atm stops me. was thinking of doing all red rear lights as i dont think no one has done it yet ?

where would i go about buying shorter anti roll bar links from? if skoda do you have part numbers and prices and what differnece will it make changing these?

i bought the shortned anti roll bar links off dpm performance i think :S and for the anti roll bar skoda dont offer a different one, but you will need one with a bigger loop that goes round the driveshaft. white line do a anti roll bar that does this i think. cheap option is the shortned anti roll bar links.

whats the need for it though, surely standard setup will be ok? how much were shortened links?

The anti roll bar rubs on the driveshaft :(

right a little progress report, well just over a week from castle combe and the reoccurrance of the empty bank balance came back and the car went round with a big smile on its face LOL.

fav castle combe photo

round a mates for a bbq and we parked on a grass hill/slope and this is what happened.

so the old fabia 16's were sold on sunday, so off i went to a make who i knew had a set of 312mm octavia VRS front brakes lying about after replacing them with 6 pots i snapped them up quick. So by tuesday these arrived at my place of work. They needed a heavy amount of cleaning but this how they came out.

so i ordered new genuine front discs and pads just waiting takes too long :(

i also got 2 new front contiental tyres for the front 205/40/17 to stop with the scrubbing when turning.

.

in the mean time a few days later i found out my best mate had my car booked in to be detailed as all the work i have done on his fab. 8 hours of professional detailing and all i can say is photos doesnt do it justice.

so happy with the results, didnt want to drive it as i didnt want to get it dirty :(

end of week came and some new bits arrived. new discs and pads to go with the 312mm brake set up. Now i was too eager to get them on, so i did.

before

after and lowered it a little more too

cheers for the comment, yeah the brakes are amazing, such a big difference, need to get the octavia vrs rears next to stop the back becoming light when heavy braking.
