Funny enough mate my other plan when we move house and need a 2nd car is to get a Bohemia in Flamenco Red or that Biege Metallic/Jewish Racing Gold and vRS it up

Inspiring stuff you're doing.

Short term memory. What's my name again?!

Just read this thread from the start. Stunning car and an amazing amount of work gone into it! Looking forward to see it further develop; what else are you planning on changing?

Thanks mate ..

Iv got loads of things i want to do + a few things i need to do lol...i could do with sorting the power out...

. FMIC pipework

. Fit the EGR delete

. Smf + uprated clutch

. Get a propper decat + straight through exhaust (this can wait tho coz iv had the cat n middle silencer replaced with a straight pipe welded in)

. Custom remap.

Then the things i want to do (which normally end up taking priority lol)

. Smooth front bumper

. Colour code + fit my polo gti sideskirts

. Extend + fit my vrs rear bumper

. Re-spray in same colour or a dark grey..

. Red leather re-trim my vrs seats with diamond stitching

. R32 style steering wheel with red stitching

. Dye roof lining black + spray pillars

. Move psi gauges onto steering column mounts + replace with illuminating gauges.

. Fit double din cd/ mp3 player..

. Move battery to boot + fit carbon intake + airbox

. Do a propper MDF install in the boot for the air settup (currently just sat in there resting against spare wheel lol )

Iv replaced my 2nd car "for the missis to learn to drive in" 1.0 6n2 polo with a 1.4 tdi 6n2 polo so i am happier driving that + taking the fabia off the road for a couple of months so i can sorts the big bits out n strip it down

Short term memory. What's my name again?!

Lol i didnt really socialise.. i came down with phill (pip_polo) and didnt know ne1 from tdi-sport just jumped on there stand lol... noticed the mongrel but didnt come over n say hi.. ill be more chatty at UD

Its more to do with the et m8 not width..

Iv got 2 sets.. 1 has 7.5j rears the other has 8.5j rears..

They are et21 (after fitting adapters) so are miles away from the bags..

A m8 of mine had 9.5j rears on his fabia with air + was fine.. Lee (catman).

The higher the et is the more the wheels stick in so more chance of touching the bag..

Ahh i see I was planning on getting some BBS CH 17 8.5J next wasnt sure if they would be alright with air but it sounds they should thanks for that matt. the car looks insane btw! :love:

Well bout time i updated this

Finished the FMIC + fit a "group buy" egr delete... 57mm fully welded piping.. forge 60mm map sensor port.. darkside turbo adapter.

Also fit a k&n cone filter

Then sent the car to the bodyshop to get a full respray (bar roof).. colour change "Carbon Grey".. smooth front bumper.. extended vrs rear bumper.. smoothed boot holes.. smoothed indicators.. smoothed 9n3 polo gti side skirts fitting..

Heres sum pics during

And sum pics after with my new porsche wheels fitted

Whitness the fitness

That colour is gorgeous. The skirts look really neat too, straight-ish fit?

Thanks

The skirts went on pretty straight forward.. bodyshop fitted them but i did hold them up against the sills beforehand + they lined up

Best fabia, hands down!

Absolutely stunning. Love the new colour

Love it, what does it sound like with the induction kit?

Thankyou still lots to do but im glad the paint is out the way so i can crack on

Absolutely stunning. Love the new colour

Cheers much appreciated

Love it, what does it sound like with the induction kit?

Its too loud tbh m8.. but i didnt really have much of a choice.. my panel filter upper housing had a crack in it so it was drawing in air :(

Might end up making a cone type box for it.. when the batterys been re-located to the boot ill have more room to mess about with it

Do the skirts go down and cover the wee metal sills that hang out the bottom?

No m8 they dont cover the lowest part of the sill (where the jacking points are)

MOT'd her 2day + fit the fog + numberplate

Looks spot on! Love the numberplate placement. It looks weird on the lower centre grill of smoothed fabias.

Do you still use your on remaining fog? I'd be tempted to replace that with a cold air feed.

Thanks tim

I wont b using the other fog jus thought it looked odd without it.. im guna get a dark laminex tint on it i think so its less obvious.. better than before tho where u could see the red turbo pipe lol

Iv got a pressed plate without a space that will go over the numberplate.. thats jus my MOT legal one

Dont wana use it an a cold intake because its so close to the ground n dont wana suck water up lol
