Hi, been a member for a couple months and have decided to start a project thread. Its a 1.4 mpi silverline fabia, got it for £1800 years MOT, 6months tax and full service, new brake pads, timing belt, new head gasket, new tyres as had been sitting for nearly a year.

I haven't done much to the car yet but have lots of plans but so far I have;

Custom badges done by pasty boy

Plastidipped front grill

Heko wind deflectors

New headunit

Subwoofer

Mini ariel

Got the GT front bumper but waiting to get it back from being sprayed so can fit it.

I plan to do/add

AP coilovers

BBS reps alloys

VRS rear bumper

Front splitter

Roof bars

Lamin X headlights

Colour code door handles

Colour code wing mirror covers

Anyway here are some pictures of the car so far

New timing belt? That is special

Looks good, got to love an MPi

Looks tidy! If it's the 16 valve engine its a belt, if its 8V its a timing chain

If you don't know which one it is, the 8V has an air filter in a box behind the battery, the 16V has the air filter built in to the engine cover

If its an MPi which iirc the black and silver lines were its 8v.

Nice looking fabia im looking forward to seeing it with the mods!

Another MPI ... Welcome to the club

Finally got the GT bumper back and fitted

And also sprayed the dash vents black, and ap coilovers in around 4 weeks time

 

 

Really nice car mate, good mods so far.

Love the bumper, you got any pics with a slight side on view of the front?

 

Really want to plastidip my chrome grille... looks good 

Cheers for the comments, just a small update. Got a K&n apollo induction kit from "Stu Vrs" makes a nice sound and for any increase in power I'm not sure but may be a little increase.

Ill try and get some pics of the new bumper with a side on view when it stops raining

 

UPDATE

 

Finally got my coilovers on. Also flyed the front/rear lights/side repeaters and got some pics from edition 38

 

 

 

Nice car Got a link to where you got the front bumper from and cost on spraying it to match?

Also how easy was it to install? Any guide?

Cheers

The bumper skirts do pop up on eBay every now and again.

I got a complete accessory body kit for £62. It's in storage in the loft for when my MPivt

Is ready.

Thanks And yeah I got mine on ebay too for around £30 but can't find one on there at the moment.

Luckily I know someone who done the spraying for me and only charged be for the paint but I think it would be around £150 if you were to get it done.

To fit it is easy all you have to do is remove the original bumper strips and it just clips in over the top of your old one

Thanks Alex Contemplating fitting one to mine but its in the orange colour....

An old pic of mine with the bumper on

 

Car looks nice mate,tinted lights look smart aswell mate

Just got a front splitter and led's all round. Pics will be up when fitted!

Your welcome mate

How does the fly eyed look in the flesh?

Looks fine to me, you can only see the small holes up close

Just google fly eyes kit and depends how much you buy but mine was around £10

Nice one mate il see if I can find some cheers

Got the front splitter on, de wipered, badge on the steering wheel to match the external ones and new 3d resin gel number plates. Also wrapped the vents in carbon wrap instead of the gloss black paint.
