Hi, Love reading through this build thread. I was just wondering, where did you get the black interior pieces from? Thanks

 

From a breaker's yard. They came off an VRS.

Have you already swapped the interior for the black VRS one or have you not got round to it yet? I am assuming its a easy straight swap job, just wondering because I want to do it to my Fabia but if it isn't a easy swap then I might put off doing it. Thanks.

I have - it is indeed a straight swap job so suprises or issues.

This project its on a league of it's own. Lovely to say the least.

 

What else do you plan for the car, engine wise? I think you never showed tha exhaust manifold, currently planning on make one, and because the 1.4 16v is mostly the same as the 1.6 16v that im running, or this is going turbo? 😮

 

Turbo is the only way. Will provide more info at a later date.

Awesome mate, loving the look of the wider arches and that spoiler! Added to

my shopping list.

 

just Monte Carlo from on the back? The arches look wider.

The rear fenders are indeed wider. Unfortunately no easy solution here.

They were pulled and a mold was created based on the front ones which was then placed on top of them.

Only stuff I got for sale at the moment are the BT carbon lower door trims and BT carbon front spoiler.

I thought I was going to fit them but they didn't suit my model.

New cover was installed today and looks much better than the previous one. 

The whole procedure needs patience and care, most important everything is safe and works as it is supposed to.

Still very skeptical if I want to post in public the procedure though.   :think:

 

@32KOFDATA Thank you for the answer. One more question please...

 

did you switch from normal to maxidot? how? Or it's not the same fabia? I'm still searching this thread. Thank you!

So you still have the fabia then 32KOFDATA?

What was the process of wiring it in?

Was is difficult?

I bought a MAXIDOT cluster with the intention of fitting it to my car but sold it on as I was told you needed a lot of VCDS coding to disable the immobiliser etc.

Thanks.

No wiring - plug in and then you get someone to help you code the new tacho and keys with your car.

Sweet! it is just that simple to remove like in this video?

Also, do you keep track how much you invested in your fabia? I love it btw!

Yeah it is pretty close - fitting the tacho is easy. Coding it needs expertise. 

Track how much I spend? lol never, otherwise this page would never exist.

If its the same as the mk1 then its pretty easy, hard part was getting the gauges out without cracking them, I ended up putting a tiny crack in the corner of the cluster but its not really noticeable.

Unfortunately I don't have them anymore but I know someone who has the carbon door trims for sale - pm me and I will get you his info. 

Bit late but when you originally changed the rear bumper when you put in the fog light into it what rear bumper was that if you don’t mind me asking ?

Hello, first sorry for mi english, i want to install de springs in mi sons Skoda fabia, but when the boot is closed the struts only have 1,3 mm and the sz 8010 20x32 when It IS compresed is longer than 1,3 mm.
