Hello Max - will get around it as soon as possible weather at the mo is awful for such filming.
Some I got from from www.superskoda.com others like the DRLs from Milotec.de and the rest from my dealer. As for the headlights those I got from ebay (the brand is called Depo) and then I painted them myself. If you need any further directions let me know.

thanks mate , really looking forward to hear that sound , and really enjoyed reading this thread.

lol , you've updated your signature, need to add the black tinted windows, have u done the front spolier

Really lovely looking Fabia, but I have to agree with the others... where's the vid where your actually driving it xD?!

Promise, promise I will get to it - shame the weather is terrible.

This is the latest on the artistic front - more to follow tomorrow.

Crappy mobile phone picture. Tomorrow I will smoke them in gloss as they are too silver. Proper images will come with the parts installed. I think I'm getting the hang of this water print technology.

how did you remove the air vent trims without breaking the clips?

The side ones are very easy to remove and you will never brake them unless you got butter fingers.

The middle one is a pain. I slowly pulled it out BUT there are two clips at the bottom that go deep into the aircoditioning unit and it is clear is that to release those you need to remove the whole unit. I wasn't patient so I eventually broke them Good thing is that it has many clips around so it won't move around BUT I will only know for sure soon as I place it back. Worst care senario I will glue the sucker!

LOVE IT !!!!!!!

one thing is.how come you're sport didn't come with the front bumper spoiler and rear spoiler as standard ? does it differ due to you're location ?

Thank you

Here are some pics for fabia55 this is how to remove the side vents and door handles.

First of all I bought myself some pry tools which are perfect for the removal of interior plastics. They will not hurt your dash or door trims since they are made of a softer plastic. Highly recommended.

 

 

Regarding the side vent simply place the tool at the bottom of the vent and gently lift up and towards you.

Then with your fingers jiggle it so all the sides start moving and then with the same upwards motion pull out the whole vent. Very simple.

 

 

As for the door handle no need really for tools. Just grab the handle from the side as seen in the pic and pull hard until it unclips. Don't be scared.

 

 

Then try the same on the other side in order to unclip the area below the silver trim.

 

 

For the top just try to move it around until it comes loose from the rest of the door.

 

 

hope this helps a bit

many thanks, did u use the pry for centre vent as well

many thanks, did u use the pry for centre vent as well

Yip but mind you I broke the two metallic hinges that was holding it in place (at the bottom right behind the trim, you can't see them). To properly remove it you have to remove the whole console case removing it as I did I felt I was gonna brake it! Mind you even with the two broken clips it has many others and the part clips back fine with no rattles or issues. Oh well!

Hi!

I love the look of you car! Nice job!

Is it possible to buy black grill for prefacelift Fabia?

And please tell me how did you make the smoked headlights?

Hello heineoen and thanks mate

Unfortunately you can't buy a black one for the prefacelift so painting it is your only option. At least it will be cheaper that way

As for the headlights, no they are not smoked. I opened them up and painted them.

do you have some updated interior photos?

Leon

Nope :( end of this month/early next I will have updates
