hi im dano few of you know me but was asked to put a new version of my project thread up so here it is.

so on the 14th dec 2009 i went to my local skoda dealer a bought a 56plate mk1 fabia vrs for about £5600, it had about 35k on clock and was in very good condition.

A year went by and i fancy'd abit more power so i went to a company called Blue Chip performance and they remapped my car for me.loved the little power increase that i had got and for £180 i thort i was in for a winner.

So now the power was done for now i changed my attention to the outside. First to go was the front grill, i went for the Milotec grill from superskoda.

Then i fancied de- badgeing the rear.

few months went on and nothing had changed really, but after seeing a few fabia's with the big mouth front bumper i decided to have a go.

so after that i fancy'd a new stereo, after abit of searching i found one and with it been a display i got £100 off.

then came one of the worse winters i've seen in a long time so car got stuck outside and wasn't able to do anything with it for awhile

When the winter had passed i fancied abit more power. 1st on the list was the 312mm front brake conversion.

Next was the forge front mount intercooler and the jabba sport clutch with SMF.

Then after wanting an exhaust uk system i drove to hull and they custom built me one. I went with the 3" turbo back decat system with a 6x4 oval tip.

With them mods on i took my car ti RS Tuning at Leeds for a remap, they gave me some very bad news while i was there and told me that my car was over boosting by 20% and that my turbo was on its way out. but the guys did what they could and i got about 186bhp. After thinking my 1st remap was a good deal i was wrong haha.

With the power mods done for now i fancied going abit euro style with the outside at least After searching for months i came across some wheels that i liked which were keskin kt1 but i went with the staggered fitment: 7.5 front/ 9 rear on 16" rims not wanting to lift the car loads.

Next was the coilovers which turned up 1day before my 1st car show with the fabia so was abit of a rush to get them fitted.

Few more weeks went by and with work been busy i didn't get alot of time to spend on the car. but with the weekend of the Big Fat Tour here i decided to have a day off and go for a drive with my mates.

After a few stop we arrived at Scarborough sea front, after the fish and chips the convoy moved on but as i was driving down the sea front what RS Tuning said came true and my turbo finaly died.

So now it was make my mind up time, get a standard turbo or go for a stage 2 hybrid. After pricing everything up i went with the stage 2 hybrid. So with the new turbo fitted a trip to RS Tuning was next on the list for a new remap. Guys did a mint job and managed to get 228bhp and 376ft torque which i was over the moon with.

Hull show was next which went quite well.

With my car not getting as much attention as i had hope i took the decision to get a full respray as show season was over for another year.After hearing nothing but good things from Track Torque Racing i took it to them. I always loved white cars so i went with white with blue pearl.

With my seats been out of the car i took the chance to get them re-trimmed at seat surgeons at York, as wanting a unique style to them too they were happy to help me.

The day came to collect my car, after 6 weeks of jumping around wanting my car back, it felt like Christmas as it pulled into there car park.

Not much has changed since.really, part from the couple of magazine features and awards.

hope you haven't been too bored reading all this. I could have filled this with loads of pictures really but didn't want to more your guys even more haha

cheers dano

here a a few of my favorite pictures tho.

Looks absolutely stunning mate. You can never have too many pics

Would look fantastic with black inserts for the headlights

Awesome mate, I was going to say Im not sure about that grill when the car was still black. But now it's white it looks miles better.

Nice and unique looking vrs

Its the wheels that took my eye, look fantastic. But does having staggered sizes alter the way the car drives.

No it doesn't alter anything about how it drives. I am running stretched tyres tho but that doesn't alter anything nether.
