Kierans Silver Fabia Vrs

[kieranlt]

Tinted the fog lights today, I think some Depo headlights and a LCR splitter will set the front off nicely now.

And I bought a set of wheels. S3 avus alloys in near perfect condition, picking them up later this week

Nice one mate, those wheels look great on the Fabias.

I love the look of these on the fabia, which is the reason I chose them. Hopefully the 25mm drop is enough to make them look right.

Fitted the alloys this evening, tyres are too big so all 4 need to be changed. If anyone can recommend a brand on a budget the please feel free to let me know! Thought they looked pretty good anyway:

Nankang NS2''s arrived today, pretty good price from camskill for all 4. Will get them fitted tomorrow and post up a picture all fitted to the car again.

Some pictures with the correct size tyres on.

Looks very good, cleaner than mine!

Very nice! It's amazing how big a difference all the little bits make, especially lowering. These things look like they're on stilts from standard!

 

I'm driving a 1.4mpi at the moment, but I'm hoping to do the same as you and upgrade to one of these once I've got myself a proper job after university! Can't wait frankly, haha.

[kieranlt]

Thanks guys! The pictures make it look a bit lower than it actually is, but I'm happy enough with the drop. The idea was to make subtle mods and not make to car look too modded.

Best thing I did buying one of these, your love it when you get one lol. If I was to look again for another one, it would have to have leathers already because the standard seats get so grubby.

[samj2013]

Yeah that's my only issue, I'm a mountain biker and so the car sees its fair share of dirt, the standard seats don't look too bad if i clean them regularly, but I can see the VRS seats getting really minging REALLY quickly.

Put some inserts into the Vrs badge on the front grille today. Here's how it stands:

Not sure if I like the red 'V' as I think it could be a bit too much red. I have a black but I don't think it would get noticed against the black slats of the grille. It will do for now but may end up changing it for silver.

[samj2013]

To be honest, I like the standard VRS badge, goes with the green on the skoda badge, though maybe a black and silver VRS badge will go best with yours

[kieranlt]

I'm really not a fan of the green, even the calipers will be going red when I upgrade lol. I think a silver 'V' with the red and black left as they are would look better.

[kieranlt]

Looking to sell the car after this weekend, just ticked over 124,000 miles, 1 previous owner, FSH with cambelt & water pump done at 117,000. Private plate will go with the car also.

Does anyone have a rough estimate of how much I should be looking for? May consider selling the leathers and wheels separately depending on offers.

Good day yesterday at Brands Hatch for modified live, big thanks to Charlie for organising. Shame the weather wasn't a bit warmer. Only two pics I got I'm afraid:

[Dark_Hero]

No problems Kieran, was good to see you again mate.

Yes shame the weather was a bit dodgy, but was a great day
