Decided I should start a project thread as I start modifying my little red fabia!  Picked her up in November with 103k miles on, totally standard, FSH.  Woman I bought her off couldn't have looked after her better (apart from possibly using a decent garage rather than Halfords auto centres for the last few years).  As I bought her:

 

Soon replaced the badges with new style ones and have some pasty badge wheel centers and steering wheel on order with the current group buy.]

New badges look awesome!

 

Today I have ordered AP lowering springs and shocks from DPM performance (lots of speed bumps in my area and mostly do motorway miles so decided not to get coilovers).  While the suspension is being changed I decided everything else could do with a refresh as, as far as I can see the bushes have never been changed!  So Powerflex front bushes and lower engine mount, PSB rear (console) bushes and Superpro FARB Bushes along with topmounts, droplinks, ball joints etc (Car currently feels very loose at the front end so pretty sure something down there is shot!)  Now just waiting on a mate to fit it all for me!

 

Good start dude! !!! Its the little details that make a difference

Definitely is! Couple of big things first though, new seats (thinking new seat Leon following pastyboys method if its possible) and wheel refurb as wheels are in a bad state but that can wait till this weather stops!

Really good start! Look forward to future updates

OK slow progress but I've finally got home from uni and can start fitting things! Arrived at 5pm today and have already got an Egr delete and new top boost pipe fitted. Hoping to get my springs and bushes fitted this week but never done it before so a bit nervous!
