Though i bet some people with OCD are rocking back and forth at how dirty my car is.

a dirty car is a driven car What's the point of having a car and not driving it

Bump stops and 256mm rear brake upgrade picked up today.

After:

 

 

Drivers side came out quite crap, so had to order a replacement to stick on when i can but other than that, i'm happy with them.

Looking good

I may have missed it but what's the reasoning behind the 'animal' stickers?

I'm just a fan of the 'Animal' surf/ski brand and like the look of the logos/stickers.

Ahh makes sense now

Meyle HD drop links, OEM top mounts and bearings ordered.

Just to confirm, it is just;

x2 Bump Stops,

x2 Drop Links,

x2 Top Mounts &

x2 Bearings needed, isn't it??

Rear bump stops?

Photos are fantastic. It looks like a great place to visit

I'm sure i've read somewhere on here that the only bump stops are the rears or are there fronts and rears??

Cheers, you should go if you get the chance.

Bump stops are on fronts and rears but rears tend to wear more than fronts (not seen a set of front go yet, not that they dont go!) as they are open to the elements more but not a thing that should get replaced when changing springs its more work (not much at all) but no need to replace with springs and are easy to replace if they go in the future anyway

Damn. I've got a pair of the shortened bump stops from Seat after thinking they were only on the rears. I may as well replace them when doing the springs/dampers, saves messing about another time.

Cheers Adam.

Is the rest of the stuff i've got/ordered correct??

Drop links, top mounts and bearings arrived, just need to get the 2 extra bump stops and hopefully i'll be good to go with changing the lot over, though still hoping for offers of help.

Fitted colour coded door handles today:

 

I know this was ages ago but I'm looking at fitting some silver handles to mine. How difficult was it to get the old ones off and the colour coded ones on? Any tips?

I was expecting it to be aball ache when i had to change a seized door lock but as per that guide it's a 2 minute job to get the handle off

Cheers PastyBoy, looks simpler than I thought it was going to be

Haven't done much recently, apart from add a couple of vRS stickers (pics after next weekend) and paid a deposit for a set of 5 of these:

(Picture stolen from Devonutopia)

Really pleased and can't wait to get them at Combe, though won't be fitted straight away.

Will hopefully get my Eibachs fitted between now and Combe as well.....Lee, are you out there.

I am but my mate isn't :( I can't do it myself. Well I could, but the car would fall flat on its chassis after I'll try him again this week, John

No rush Lee, we've got until the 26th April.

Really like those wheels, thought a few times about getting some. It will be interesting to see how it looks with them on especially with the eibachs fitted. Not seen them on a silver Fabia before.

Devonutopia had them fitted on his a few years back. Its the only time i remember seeing them on a silver Fabia.

Here:

Wheels look decent!! Will make a chance to see something different

I love these as much as the spiders but these will be a bit more rare.

I won't be getting rid of the spiders though and getting these will open up the possibility of getting the spiders refurbed.
