My Fabia vRS

[Rob Kirby]

Well this will be a expensive fish and chips :/

[Bullyboy]

Oh dear sorry to see that.

Hope it gets fixed soon

[newbie69]

How did this happen?

[Rob Kirby]

some **** reversed into me with his tow bar out side my local chippy :/

[MartynVRS]

B45Tards these days don't care about other peoples cars. Since having a new car I'm more wary and see so much bad driving it's unbelievable. Just this morning I was cut up a half dozen times and had to perform an emergency stop. No one indicates or uses the right lanes on roundabouts. Most of them should be shot

[Rsrob]

:peek: sorry about the car hope you get it fixed soon

+1 on this mate. It's unbelievable. You know what really ****es me off though, people that find a need to park RIGHT next to you when theres 1000000 other spaces, and you park MILES away from the door! I have just went to another building for my work, it's about a 2 minute drive but I had a huge printer to take over so took the car. Parked in a visitor space right at the end away from everyone else. Some **** in a Honda CR-V/HR-V whatever it is, parkes literally, less than a ruler length from my passenger door. Now I don't know how the hell he got out of that car without bashing mine, but he seems to have managed because i've checked vigorously for damage. He honestly must have clambered out the passenger side door.

Eugh!!!! Rant over. Sorry.

New bulbs fitted

Had my bulbs through today. Had a look but they look a fiddle to fit. Is there a guide anywhere?

[Rob Kirby]

Ermmm not that i know of... If you can wait a few hours maybe days i can post one up?

Its really easy though took me about 5-10mins

[MartynVRS]

Just need to know how the bulbs come out that's all. There isn't much room so don't want to break anything

[nockmeister]

Yeah, yeah please post some shots...I'm not sure i can squeeze my stubby fat fingers to change the bulbs :(

[Stu vRS]

Don't worry mate, you are not the only one.

Had to get my passenger front door replaced after 8 days of ownership back last year in December...I was parked outside a friends house and the lady across the street reversed straight into it out of her driveway, claiming "not to see it" :wonder:

Here was the damage from December:

She is all better now though

[Bullyboy]

Touch wood, nothing yet. But can relate to all these stories/comments. If you have a new car and want to look after it you dont want some b++ger b++ggering it up !

Hope the bumper and number plate get fixed soon.

8 days of ownership......lady across the street reversed straight into it out of her driveway

You killed her right? Seriously though, 8 days. I remember you're post as well.

Bulbs can be tricky. You need to twist the bulb and pull it out. Should be 90^o twist if i remember

[Rob Kirby]

yeah just a simple grab and twist left 90 deg.. will get a guide up tomorrow

New plate sorted looks as good new. Roof gets wrapped on Tuesday

[the mad monk]

out of curiosity, how much does it cost to wrap the roof?

ive got a white one coming and since i originally ordered they changed to the black pack and now im wondering if i should have got a black roof with it

i guess this would always be an option for me

For my estate I was quoted £250+VAT from Totally Dynamic – Manchester for a black gloss,matte or carbon finish. But please check with ur insurance as it's classed as a modification and mine would not insure against it :(

Tell you what Stu you were bloody lucky not to experience any sill damage there!

Ive been quoted £ 156 Including VAT and Fitting by a local company

But please call your insurance company because its an exterior modification, im with admiral and they charged me £ 17.50 for the roof so its peanuts but now im covered.

Indeed, luckily just hit the door square in the middle with the corner of her bumper.
