As you can see from the reg plate the car will be called Flo as this is what the previous owner called her. Its sat on Joms with mondeo drop links, its got porsche reps, exhaust and a remap. Im planning on adding my own touches, this started within an hour of owning it i had bought some wind deflectors, got them fitted today:

I also noted the interior light had 2 led map lights but centre light was normal one so i swapped it for a festoon i had lying about but then i broke the map light bulb! Oooops so got some on order

Going to use the 10 bulbs to replace them around the car and fit some footwell lights as well, next set of things ive got is a stubby ariel and replacment front ashtray as the original is a bit messy

  • One of those JML magic erasers that you can use on pots, pans, walls etc to remove marks! Just rub it on when wet then dry it all off, job done.http://www.ryman.co.uk/5101040016/JML-Doktor-Power-Magic

  • Did you get the pipe on..? I used 1m and ran It down next to the exhaust tunnel.. Fabia's looking great btw, loving the wheels especially.. 

  • Did some bits over weekend:     got some new trim delivered to fix my damaged seat:     and my friend did me a quick photoshop of the car:

Now when im driving on my own the car doesnt make any dodgy noises but when i put weight in with passangers etc its making a weird knocking noise over normal road surface and when pulling away so i think its the console bushes so ive vought the ibiza cupra fr ones from darkside:

Plans for rest of week are to fit a rear wash wiper, i like the dewipered look but cant live with not having a clear rear screen! Ive also just purchased the flashing brake light mod as well, missed out on the coming home lights mod.

Love them wheels! 16" or 17"?

Korban will still make up the home coming lights kit for you if you contact him :)

16" i believe, yeah i know he can, was hoping to pick them up cheap from another forum user who was selling them! He will be getting a message in new year.

very nice :) I came from a 290bhp ST to the VRS and dont regret it at all

Nice work already!

 

How much did you get the rarb for?!
