Thought i might try and write my own project thread, if i can remember to update it often enough anyways.

Picked up my Fabia in january. 64k on the clock, Elegance spec and more importantly, Diesel

Got a few more pics and stuff to add later and a few ideas ive been having to share

Fitted some LED Number plate lamps, Nice and Bright now

Stripped the interior out aswell and gave the whole car a damn good clean, and ran the cables for my Sub

Added a Milotec Front grille from my old car, resprayed it myself Black Magic to match my car turned out alright i thought.

Also had an hour to kill the other night so i thought id give the front calipers a quick paint with something bright to see what it looked like

And then another with the wheel back on.

Going to be spraying all four calipers eventually and rebleeding, once we get some more dry weather here do i can take the wheels off the car without getting p*** wet through. Got some nice Neon Green Paint to try out

Also Decided to dress the drab enginer bay up a little bit with the aid of some samco silicon vacuum hoses i had left over

and a bit of vinyl wrap, white with green pearl to it cant see the pearl in the photos though unfortunately

The stuck the badge back down and got out the favoured green paint again for a personal touch

Finished Article:

Looks a good little motor mate. Look forward to seeing what mods you have in store for it.

Cheers man she's been doing me proud so far. Got a few mods in mind but got other priorities for my money at the moment. Just out looking for the bargains

Got a vrs front bumper still from my old car but big mouth modded and a set of Audi TT wheels i can put on when im bored :p

Edit: in fact, did i buy my bumper from you? Lol

Yeah you bought my old silver one.

Thats the one! yeah i kept the bumper from the old motor as it wasnt too damaged shall be making an appearance soon hopefully

New Wheels are on, just a side shot to show how much i need lowering :p

Lil bit of cheeky stretch on front, and to show how they sit

And a random shot to finish off

Next plan is Weitec Springs. Hopefully Ordering Monday

Anyone got a set of VRS Dampers going spare? would rather build up onto different dampers so its a straight off, straight on job

You lucky bugger! I always wanted the TDI engine. Only they're impossible to find over here. Hatchback+TDI is non-existent.

Lookin good! Lower it and tint the windows and it'll look splendid.

Next 2 jobs on the list

I couldnt believe my luck when i bought this. First place i went in and it was perfect. Cruise control, heated seats, parking sensors and of course, black tdi harchback

Good catch, mate. Good catch. The closest I got to one was a Fabia Combi, a 2002 I believe, former taxi with 220k miles for 3000 quid. Nah, for that, i'd rather have my 1.4MPI for 1200 quid.

I'll admit that I never liked oil burners, but there are three engines I like. The Fabia TDI, the Passat 2.0 TDI and Mecedes 220CDI.

Such a strong engine. Ive had 2 now and both have been flawless. My friends have never had problems either

Weitec springs now ordered from awesome gti watch this space!

Very nice looking car you got there

Why thank you :')

Due to the innevitable happening, i ordered a few little beautys for the Furby

Only problem being a little bit of rain stopped play by flooding my mates street/house/garage

Spent all afternoon helping pump that lot out, but treated myself for my hard work ny purchasing these from a fellow Brisky Member

Nevertheless, Work commenced the following day, bushes and springs few pics below

And the finished article:

As a basic reveiw, the Weitec Springs and Superpro Bushes have completely transformed the handling of my car. I may uprate the dampers and ARB's in the future but for now, this shall do

Looks far better now with springs mate

Cheers man. I certainly rate them for anyone.

Weet looking car dude

Sweet haha!!!!

Cheers man

How much you lowered it by and what do they ride like?
