thought I read somewhere that all fabia vrs's that are built from December 04 onwards will now have rear parking sensors as standard.

will someone please enlighten me? did I dream it? :confused:

Nope, as far as i know its still an option.

Perhaps you're confused re the various models? - for instance:

Until the end of 2004, the Fabia Classic 54 bhp model is available for

Parking sensors now come as standard on the Elegance 2.0. I recently ordered one. They will be useful to warn me of VRSs on my tail.

parking sensors were not an option when I ordered my Furby vRS - and that (hopefully) ought to be the 2005 model

Now I wonder whether that's because an Elegance 2.0 is so slow... - or a vRS is so fast...

Seriously, although I've won a set of reversing sensors in a raffle (Mazda - "worth"

you can retro fit the parking sensors on the vrs big K does it

I could do it myself - just rather put off by the salesman saying there's a problem with the bumpers...

Hey the 2.0 ain't slow at all dude! It's 2.0 litres, and it's light I don't have the Elegance model, I have one of the first 2.0 models that came out in the Comfort version, so I'm missin' plenty of stuff, and that makes the car real light I hit 220kmph with my car, AND I went one on one with a Mini Cooper in Dubai and killed it, the 2.0 has a lot more torque than the Mini Cooper. I also raced the Peugeot RC (180bhp) on a busy highway and beat him to our stop too...shameful for 180bhp to lose against 115bhp I'd love to race a vRS with the 2.0, I reckon it would be a pretty tough call :eek:

My dealer says it can easily be retro-fitted for about

big k does it for alot less than that iirc

fabia 2.0rs

killing a cooper well done its only a 1.6 lol

and the pug 206 180 you sure it was a 180 and not the 136 bhp one ???

Oh yes I'm sure

In Dubai the 180bhp model is called the 206 RC, and the 136bhp is called the 206 GTI...(you know how you have different model names for different countries)...and I raced the guy on a high-way (Sheikh Zayed Rd...maybe you've heard of it for being the most dangerous highway in the world, as stated by BBC) for about 5 to 6 KM...picture it...two black hot hatches with kits manoeuvering thru cars...it was AWESOME :eek:...I beat the guy to the point of the road where we split ways...man...one hell of a race, it was good...it actually started when I came up behind the guy and he saw me...so he started really...and I joined in...and kicked him out of the race

About the Mini Cooper..at this point the engine size doesn't really matter for a short race, Cooper S has a 1.6 and it's faster than a Fabia 2.0 (actually tried with a Cooper S...my dad was driving it, and I lost )...the Cooper and the 2.0 share the same horsepower, but the 2.0 has much more torque...Cooper 150Nm at 4,500rpm vs. 2.0 170Nm at only 2,400rpm...so yeah...and remember I don't have the options of an Elegance 2.0 because mine is a Comfort 2.0, which they don't offer anymore, thus having a pretty light car...somewhere around 1000 kilos.

About parking sensors, I personally think they make cars look ugly...plus I believe a good driver doesn't need them :P

My vRS will have parking sensors on - they are a dealer fit option I believe. My dealer will be fitting them within the next few weeks me thinks.

:gay: get yoooouuuu

For 300 quid I would rely on my driving skillz - no way I'll pay that for some bits that cost about 20 quid, even with 2 hours labour that should be less than that :|
