Oet, I bought xenons for ~200 GBPs. Daylights on Polish Ebay, nothing special really. Concerning the electrics, I used to say that my car is a sport car. Sport cars doesn't have electric windows or mirrors, thst's always my excuse .

Being honest with you, my car is kind of unique. I'm almost sure that nobody else has Octy with VRS interior with manual windows. My left door card comes from OEM UK Octy, while the rest from continental version. True OEM+

lol, well sports cars often dont have proper opening windows, or windows in perspex too:>

like the daylights, will check them out!

never seen a vrs card with a manual winder hole, think they all came with elec windows here!

dont'g go any lower, it will just handle badly!

Last weekend I've started playing with my new toys:

...and after 2 hours:

Awesome car!!!

Great work for the front grill

Thanks Giannis.

I've bought new tires for my RC's: Goodyear Eagle F1 195x45x17 with lots of thread:

In the meantime, I've prepared my rear springs for refurb:

KW springs refurbing (second day)

this car is the bo11ock! good move on the vrs front bumper. the rear end is so confusing but i love it!!

nice!

I love the rear bumper! Looks a bit like a mk2. Was the max ton bumper easy to fit? I was thinking of getting one for the Fabia :-)

The fitting was so so to be honest. I've spent 3 hours to fit it and it's still not perfect. I made a mistake and painted it before the trying on - never to that with ABS bumpers!

Here is some nice Russian Fabia Mk1 with the Maxton kit. Looks quite nice , as well as 292 Hp in Fabia

Thanks for the link. Looks pretty cool :-)

This is such a good looking car!

Thanks Jonny.

Some nice color at last! Two layers of gloss yellow:

...and I've bought new spare wheel form my Octy. I realized that OEM 15inch will not fit my 312x256mm brakes .. Very rare BBS RZ 17x8, BMW PCD costs me less than a sushi lunch. Yummy, yummy

from what car is the mesh of the front grille? Ibiza Cupra? awesome car by the way!!

Hi Guys. Today I've finally refurb my wheels. The final choice was Plastidip , Kawasaki Ninja mat green. Some spy photos:

Some better photos:

Nice! can you please tell me which one exactly is it? because they have various styles... :think:

I dont have a clue Savvas. I got it for free, as the bonus to bumpers and grill.

In the meantime, I've plastidipped the BBS cups with the second color: mat white...

What do you all think? Peel it or leave it :think: ??

oh ok, no problem. By the way, I think that you should match the rims' inner section colour with the outer, silver cup- silver (don't know the exact word in english) outer section, white cup-white outer section. Just a thought...

Afterwards, it was high time for the first custom mod: From this:

And nice Photoshop summarizing the first stage mods:
