Smiggi's Fabia Vrs

Featured Replies

Hi guys , just recently bought a Fabia Vrs 130 in black. Full service history 2 previous owners. Really pleased with it to be honest. Here's some pics y9y7y3uz.jpgse3amy8u.jpgna7umy3u.jpg3y5u9ave.jpg so yeah that's my beast. There was a mad haze on the headlights so I had to fly eye it.epy5utap.jpg

Very tidy! I always wanted a shiny black magic furby, but had to get mine at short notice and have held onto it ever since.

Looks good mate. I see it has an LCR splitter. Looks pretty good :-)

Thanks man. Yeah I have plans but they are for the long run. First thing I'm doing is nice little subtle mods for now. Then after a few month of saving think ill be installing a front mounted intercooler with exhaust and remap. Don't want to tamper with the suspension as I have had bad experiences with lowering in the past ( long story short .....went through track rod ends and ball joints like there was no tomorrow). But yeah I have always been one for detailing and keeping my cars really (I mean really) clean. I suppose I have OCD when it comes to keeping my cars clean. In my old c2 I used to take the seats out to Hoover it out properly. I also used to take each alloy wheel off and clean them inside out properly too. So look forward to seeing a very clean Fabia.

Plans sound good mate, but you should lower it a little. Even if it is on Eibachs (25mm) will make a huge difference to the look of the car

Nice plans Liam!!! I would consider lowering it too I mean obv not as low as the c2 but you couldn't get your hand under it at one point but at leas 25-40mm drop that's all I want just because of where I live I wouldn't be able to get it up my drive or through the infamous arch! But it will make a difference in handling and looks as they do look a bit of a 4x4!! :) can't wait to see it!!

Ok guys so I got chance to wash and polish car in the 2 hour gap we had no rain. So I got the digital camera out and took some snaps. I edit all my pics before uploading to spruse them up so see what you think:-)

As you can see I managed to get the wind deflectors fitted. Well pleased with the new motor. Still need to fit the k&n panel filter , Philips ultra h7 headlight bulbs and the VRS replacement badges. Just waiting for time to fit them:-)

Looks tidy.... Lowering is a must! Drove my mates un-lowered vRS the other week and was an eye opener!

Done properly shouldn't have any probs. Go on you know you want to!

Well as previously stated I am a man known for detailing. So this morning I had a couple of hours spare time to get cracking with the mcguires clay bar kit!! I have been using this kit for years and swear by when it comes to detailing. So yeah anyway managed to get the full car Clayed:-) here's some close up pics of the paint work.

I could clearly tell that in all it's 8 years the car has never been Clayed. Every panel I use new clay and this is what each panel had sitting on it adysepeb.jpg perhaps the worse I have ever seen a bit clay but never mind the car is gleaming!! egebe3et.jpgsame9ute.jpgybeqyzar.jpg7a3ynyva.jpg

Also got the compound out and had a bash at cleaning the tailpipe up. Did my best but here's the result yvyga4u7.jpg

Also managed to get the k&n panel filter fitted this morning , not taking it for a run yet but ill let you know how it runs with the high flow filter in.

All comments are welcome:-)

WOW, looked like it hadn't been clayed for a while... nice work dude

Thanks mate , yeah it really did need a clay man. Glad I got it done tbh. Please with how smooth the paintwork is now though:-)

Well it's been a long day of personalising the Vrs. I only had the car 1 week today but it already feels my own.

So far I have fitted:-

Team heko wind deflectors

K&n panel filter

Vrs custom badges.

Got the badge on the centre caps on su8adegu.jpgu8a5uhyj.jpg

I think the badges really finish off the car. Comments welcome

Your wheel nuts seem to be missing the black caps. These would add to the finished detail.
