cheers

Buy yourself a really good standard one and subtle mod it yourself that's what my intention was I bought it had rear windows tinted and had it mapped wanna get the cupra splitter and put it on coiles but on the standard wheels

Not sure if I can do this, but - mine is for sale

There are a few in the for sale section on the forum

hi thanks for the replies ill get my final date this week and hopefully my money there seems a few good options to look at ill be in touch so as money hits my bank thanks again.

I paid 6kfor mine. 37k on an 06 plate.

There are some nice Fabia VRS's around. 6k will buy you a very nice one.

I'd be tempted to look on pistonheads such as:

http://pistonheads.com/sales/2604844.htm, http://pistonheads.com/sales/2612528.htm (same car)

http://pistonheads.com/sales/2582620.htm

Advantage of buying from forum however is you get to know the person who owned the car. Those on pistonheads may not have been looked after or who knows, maybe the owners are on this forum?

I'd sooner spend £4,500-5,000 on one and spend the £1,000-1,500 left over on modifications (coilovers, wheels, ARB, FMIC and a map).
