Smoothed Fabia vRS - Huxley

Featured Replies

looking good mate really impressed with the small touches to the spoiler etc, like how you could keep the standard lower grill too.

p.s. this would look epic with some air ride suspension sitting the sump on the floor :rock:

Hang about I've just had an idea...

Taking the rubbish out earlier I spotted an old broke ladder I am yet to take the tip.

Then my cogs started turning and I set about removing what I wanted.

Go find some nuts and bolts now so I can see where to mount the plate on the bracket. :)

Nice mate!

I made similar ones for my polo, they secured to the lower grill, could do the same? Or from underneath the bumper? You offsetting it to one side?

  • Author

Yeah mounting to the grill to one side.

  • Author

Slight break in the production line that is the gym.

Anyways found some nuts and bolts altho they are a little on the small side but will do for now.

I need to work on getting polish out of my swage lines lol.

Top work man, looks great!

Plate relocation is never an easy thing, and a reason why I'd be hesitant to smooth the front bumper, but you've probably done it the best way short of OEM position.

  • Author

Yeah tbh I love the fabia front bumpers as standard but I wanted a different look so smoothing it was but then of course you either stick a number plate on the visor which personally I think looks bodged or remount it and I think US size plate to one side is a nice daily set up and easily removed for meets and shows.

It's illegal to have it in the windscreen, had to be front most point of your car, so you've done it right by avoiding that one!

  • Author

Yeah altho my plate isnt legal I think its more acceptable than most.

Two of my friends and my girlfriend included run their number plates in the window (visor) my girlfriend for over 2 years, she has never been stopped about it lol. I think police are fairly ok around here with modified cars, they realise we arent a priority.
