Clap's Fabia vRS

[vRS Joe]

Good work chap, looks fantastic, like new but better!

Need to go lower though, even if it's only 25mm.

Cheers for the comments! Shame it doesnt stay clean for long being black..

Yeah definitely needs lowering.

Hope to get some KW V1's next month so will look much better on them!

[JackClap]

Got it tinted yesterday.

Finally got round to fitting the polo aero wiper. Looks much better imo.

Catch can and PD160 intake fitted.

Bought new top mounts and bearings ready for when I lower it. Also ordered some KW V1's which should be here this week.

Very nice mate. loving the progress so far

[JackClap]

Got some pressed plates made up in the week.

And yesterday finally got round to lowering it, Fitted KW V1's. Also fitted new top mounts and bearings and Seat Ibiza rear bumpstops.

Feels much more planted in the corners now.

And I have a piper exhuast being fitted tomorrow so will get some pics up when thats done.

Just got my car back from having a piper exhaust fitted. Decat and 1 silencer. It sounds incredible! Perfect imo. Would definitley recommend getting one.

Will try and get some pics and vids of it.

[joe_vrs_tdi]

Nice mate, i got a decat and 0 silencer waiting to go on mine from piper. What tip you go with?

You'll love the sound of it once you got it fitted! And I went for 2.5" twins, although now thinking I should of gone for either the 3" twins or the oval one.

Just followed you back!

I got them from Dpm Performance for £471.70 which is the cheapest I could find them and they were also really helpful.

Thanks! its a shame it needed a respray but the paintwork was really letting the car down, looks just like it came out the showroom now And spiders always looks good on a fabia!

Love the look of this m8, so shiny yet stealth at the same time

I have a black mk1 vrs and the rear windows are tinted, I am thinking of peeling them off. Looks abit like a van, dont you think?

Any updates?

I've always liked tints on a car, would never go any darker than factory tints though. I think the tinted wind deflectors help blend the front windows in, otherwise there's quite a contrast between front and back windows.

And no updates yet, although this gives a pretty big hint as to an update coming next week!

[bowen]

IYeah mine is the same. Contemplating removing mine, can't bring myself to do it.

Looking forward to the next update!

[JackClap]

Fitted some spacers to it today, 15mm on each side on the front, and 20mm on each side on the rear. Sits much better now and also allows me to fit brembos on the front.

Also gave it a quick clean and a wax.

A few pictures of the piper exhuast..

And a few other shots..

[joe_vrs_tdi]

Great quality pics there mate looks so clean and even more so for this time of year.

The twin pipes suit the style of your car really well to

[Taylor477]

I love the fact that you've done all the mods that I can't afford to do right now

helps me see what mine should look like ah ha.

love it.

[BossFox]

Looks smart.

Brembos on the front are great, I balanced them with uprated rear brakes too.

I found the front spacers did make it easier to get wheel wobble at around 70mph though, unless they were balanced very accurately with the spacer on.

[Robshaw]

Top work

[redcupraboy]

Very clean looking motor, good work. I don't suppose you could provide me with the part nos for the rear Ibiza Cupra shorter bumpstops for the rear?

My cousin who drives a golf mk5 gti wrapped in Matte kiwi green with a matte white roof and black alloys with a white trim said he saw you at one of our meets in Southampton.. I'll be there for the next meet on the 16th, didn't go tonight as the SWMBO said so ha ha. Look forward to seeing this next time

[JackClap]

Cheers for the comments guys.

Cant wait for the brembos, looking foward to the extra stopping power.

I didnt particularly want to go down the spacer route for this reason, but I bought the wheels before deciding I wanted brembos, Then to realise they dont fit without spacers.

Thanks, and the part number is 6Q0 512 131 D.

Yeah I went along to the meet tonight, First meet ive ever been to actually. Was good seeing all the cars and talking to people, although I didnt actually know anyone there. I hope to start going to all of the meets as its the most local meet to me. Dont think I can make the one on the 16th though but will be there at the one after that

A few pics form the meet..

the audio in his golf was nuts!
