Jamie's 1.4 mpi

[JamieFabia6Y]

Hi guys,

I passed my test in October and so I purchased my first car within a week of passing!

It's the skoda fabia classic 1.4 mpi 8v, I paid £999 for it with 78,000 miles on the clock.

So far I have covered just over 2000 trouble free miles, I am very pleased with her!

I have already made a few changes which included;

16" fabia vrs wheels- £150 from gumtree

Prosport coilovers- £190 from dpm performance

Xenon style headlight bulbs- £39.99 from halfords

Led bulbs lighting the rear number plate- £12.99 from halfords

Momo seat covers- £39.99 from Argos

So far that is all, I do have plans to do much more and I will be updating the thread very often so any feedback is much appreciated!

Also any advice/ tips would be awesome

Thanks for looking,

Jamie.

With many thanks to dpm performance for a quick delivery!

And to Hutchysrs50 for fitting them for me!

A before and after photo from how filthy it was after a week of being on the building site I am currently working on:

As you can see there is a big difference between the new xenon style sidelights and the original ones!

Good start. I used to have a 1.4 mpi, I'd see if you could find a GT front bumper skirt as they pop up on ebay sometimes and make a massive difference to the front!

I personally wouldn't of paid 39.99 for bulbs? you could probably get them alot cheaper and better quality online other than halfords!

Any other plans?

Here is my MPI before it got wrote off to show you the GT skirt

Thanks alex! I have been keeping my eyes peeled for the sport/gt bumper but they seem to be like rocking horse **** to find haha

I have ordered a powertec induction kit from POTN.com but still waiting for it to be delivered!

How much did you pay for the bumper if you don't mind me asking?

Jamie.

[Alex529]

I got it eBay when there was a few on there for about £40 delivered getting it sprayed will cost more than that though depending if you know someone who can do it, luckily I knew someone who only charged me for the paint.

Alex I still haven't found a GT bumper and look every week  

[hutchysrs50]

Nice to see it coming along

Quick update- ripspeed single din d740 fitted couple weeks ago with many thanks to hutchysrs50 for helping me out! Got it for a bargain at £80 second hand!

Also finally got round to spraying my grille surround yesterday too.

[JamieFabia6Y]

Fitted my team heko wind deflectors today!

Lovely looking fabia mate

[JamieFabia6Y]

So I had my roof and door pillars wrapped today in Matt black. What does everyone think?

[jgraf94]

I like it!

 

Think it would look better without the wind deflectors but that's me being EXTREMELY picky

 

Nice looking car man, silver non vrs myself!

I think the black roof looks wicked, not sure about the black wing mirrors though.

[t1salai]

Not a big fan of matt black, think the black gloss would look so much better. Hey, but still I like the car

[skyrocket]

Looks great...especially the pillars

[ScottSDI]

Your fabia looks the nuts did u Matt black spray the front grill and plastic paint it matey

[JamieFabia6Y]

Thanks for all the feedback guys! Currently bidding on the sport trim for the front bumper, fingers crossed I win it!

Do you have a link? just wondering how much they're going for because I still have my old one.

[JamieFabia6Y]

So after a long wait finding a sport/gt front bumper I have finally got my hands on the full sport trim!!

Front bumper, rear bumper, spoiler and wheel arches!

Got it off a chap from Ireland for £150 posted which isn't too bad I suppose

Now it will be off to the paint shop for a spray within the next few weeks so will upload photos of the finished product can't wait!
