2008 Skoda Fabia Project

[TheBoyArmitage]

Purchased my car in mid august, got a few plans for it so I'll use this to keep track off its progress!

[TheBoyArmitage]

Met up with NathVRS yesterday in uttoxeter, bought his gigaro alloys off him. Had a great day too! Alloys look great, looking forward to fitting my new bumper!

New bumper and then lower i think will look much better

[TheBoyArmitage]

yeah i agree, im getting a splitter for the bumper at at the start of feb, its being lowered start of jan and the silver grill trim is being wrapped on Dec 30th!

Brings tears to my eyes... it is like mine when I first got it. Keep it up man - your first step is to the right direction.

Cheers 32! Watch this space, got some interesting stuff coming in the new year! Any advice on fitting the new rear badge? From what I hear it's abit of a buggar?

Nah it's not - now that the proper boot Fabia badge is out it fits perfect.

Nice to see you're not too deterred by the weather

[TheBoyArmitage]

Fraid not, no weather is gonna stop me! Was a bit skeptical about the wind deflectors originally but I thought I'd treat myself and I'm pretty happy with them!

Are you sleeping with it already?  :p

[TheBoyArmitage]

Won't be long before I am, 32K! Went to my local dealership and was quoted £305 for the splitter, my brother found it advertised as a roomster splitter on eBay for £40, took it to a repair and spray shop this morning, quoted me £100, left it there, should hopefully be able to pick it up in a couple weeks

Nice one - It always feels good when you manage to get a bargain out of the blue. Of course we will be waiting for pics

Make sure you get two people to help you with installation - did it come with instructions? if not let me know cause I still got the manual somewhere. I keep everything just in case of MOTs inspections blah blah.

That's great 32! Would love the manual! Could you send it across to me?
