  • Love a bit of beading. Photo taken today. 2 coats of Poorboys Nattys Paste wax on the bonnet.

I haven't tried that one mate, sounds good though.

It's a bit sad that I'm excited to see what will be in the box this month!

Cheers mate, I can't wait to get an LCR splitter and some APs on!

It's up to you dude but I think it makes the front look meaner and cleaner.

Haven't posted in here in a while so thought I'd do a little update.

So this happened the other day:

I've got a tyre on order and am going to get the tracking all sorted too.

Thought I'd give the Fabia a clean today when I had a few hours spare.

I used this Hubikote polish I got from Waxybox:

Then I sealed the whole car and then I used this wax on the bonnet just to see what it's like, also got from Waxybox:

This is how it looked when I'd finished:

Not a bad reflection:

Have got a couple of LED bulbs on order and might order some Poorboys bits for the next wash.

LEDs arrived today, this is the before photo of my interior light. This had a 6 LED centre bulb in.

And this is the after photo with the new 12 SMD LED centre bulb. So much better.

That reflection for silver mate is impressive!

Cheers mate, not always the easiest with silver is it.

Cool, just followed :)

Thinking about ordering some Poorboys White Diamond Glaze to see what that does for the silver.

Spent another couple of hours washing, polishing and waxing the Fabia today.

Not done much to the Fabia for a while. 

 

A little addition today though when I got round to fitting my armrest.

Little photo of the centre console upside down in the garage while I fitted the armrest to it:

It's not perfect but it's in and is fairly solid so I'm happy with it. 

Good progress and impressive reflections, can get a decent shine if you spend enough time at it

 

And is there any chance of a link for the interior light SMD bulb that you fitted?? looks very bright, just what i've been looking for.

  • Author

Thanks dude, yeah can be done with some time spent on it.

I think it's this one: http://bit.ly/1iQpIh3

Am on my phone so not sure if it'll definitely work but it's a 44mm 12SMD LED from fizzmo on eBay. It's very bright, miles better than standard!

Had to clean the Fabia yesterday, couldn't leave it as dirty as it was.

Tried out a few new products and added a new sticker too.

Looks great mate! Have you ever thought about some metal pressed plates?

Very nice, some good mods already done! Wish mine had xenons.

Cheers dude! I have thought about them, they are actually on the list of bits to buy/fit :)

Thanks man, been trying but haven't had much spare cash lately. I do love the xenons! They're the only extra mine has fitted though. 

 

Should be some new additions after Christmas :)
