JL's Black Fabia I VRS Build thread

Featured Replies

Suppose I should keep my stuff into one thread! I kind of have been keeping it on my picasa album so I'll start from there..

Here are the link of progression - pics: https://plus.google....CKii-8jOg_W77AE

Latest tinkerings, still not sure on the green but growing on me slowly, didn't cost much so no biggie to change colour or remove completely. Gas strut was more straight forward than I thought it would be lol. even at 380N its still quite strong, cant imagine what it'll be like for people who put the fabia boot strut, 500N! -

Liking the green on the wheels mate.

Thanks, haven't driven the car lately so I haven't really had time to have a good look at it. I feel it needs more green somewhere..

What exhaust have you got on there mate?

Mufflerectomy, the tip is a 6x4 anti resonance tip from custom chrome racing. Im sure you could pick up similar many style tips from the bay. I had another thread on making your own mufflerectomy. :)

Loving the green bits :)

Still undecided on them.. Needs more green but not sure where.. Skoda logo perhaps? Or skip the green?

Latest thoughts are I want to tinker with some glitter paint.. :lol:

Like the vw gti's have red pipeing around the grill, but in green? Other than that mate looks nice :)

Agreed. Green piping around the grille would be smart :)

Thanks for the suggestion guys.

Did a quick sketch on the phone just to see how the grill looks.. Not sure on it atm.

I also done the fog surrounds, they look ok?

Maybe grill only or fog surround only?

Just remove the side strips :) how about pinstripe around the lower grille too?

And just the inside part of the fogs. Close to the light itself?

looks good mate

Really testing my painting skills now lol.

Good idea! I do like the lower bit green. Still not keen on green upper grill. Hmm.. Thoughts?

Small non exciting update just bought some 5000k h7r to replace my 3000k h7.

Fun fact for the day - apparently most 55w kits use 35w ballasts.

55w kits make it run whiter or washed out colour than 35w kits..

One of them was DOA so awaiting another (or a pair..). Unfortunately I did a schoolboy error by installing it first then finding out it doesn't work... :wall:
