Hey all!

Had the Fabia almost a year now. No real photo's of how it looked when I picked it up, but the progress over the last 9 months is as follows....

BBS LM rep's went on, along with dropping the height to get them sitting snug!

I kept it in the standard silver for a few months.

Then got wound up by numerous stone chips, marks and blemishes. I thought about smoothing bits and pieces for a while, so just went all out and had the lot done, including a fresh colour.

Somewhere around here I bought new fog lights as they were cracked, hence the purple tint film.

Wanted a cleaner look, so didn't re-apply the purple.

Then as time went on the headlights also got messed up, one even had a burn mark on the exterior of the lamp, god knows how

That's all I have for now, the interior has been re-trimmed now. But the day I put it back in, I drove it to work, and the splitter came off going through a huge puddle. That scratched the front and one arch. So it's currently in the body shop, so yet again, more money

Updates to follow once I drive it home and get some pictures taken.

Hey man loving the car. I was chatting to you at castle combe before about the place you got your respray done etc, dont know if you remember as you most likely had tons of people asking the same stuff lol.

Cheers

Yeah a few questions were asked lol!

Not many Fabia owners spoke to me though, I think you were the only one haha.

Wow lovely looking Fab bud, well done. Love the colour, Audi nimbus grey? Loving the Rotiform wheels also!

Is this coming to Combe in April too?

It's similar to Nimbus grey in certain lights, but it's not the exact colour. It's also similar to Porsche slate grey, but again, different lights make it appear otherwise.

The colour is always the massive talking point !

It may well be making an appearance in April

More to the point, Ultimate dubs is on the horizon, I've got the hotel booked, but no space to park as such, may just wing it

I did comment on the Ultimate dubs 6 space thread, any idea if that can be expanded to 7 spaces :p ?

I quite like that colour - very different!

What happened to the front number plate - did you remove it for each photo?

What a great looking car. Love the colour you've done it. Something different, looks great.

Thanks guys, appreciate it !

With regards to the number plate, it's usually cable tied to the bottom grill. Then I just snip it off for shows etc

Haha I originally looked at purples, but that had been done before, so I know the feeling :-P.

Thanks again for the positive feedback everyone, much appreciate.

Wow that is awesome! I was at the last Brisky Combe meet but somehow didn't notice this!

He was about one hundred yards down to the left of the briskoda stand if you was facing the track.

Stunning looking car! Top work

Found a shot of when I first had it in November 2011.

Here's the progress so far summed up in one shot.

Very nice. Love the unusual colour

Current state of the Fabia
