It'll need detailing now - swirl marks ahoy :)

 

It's meant to look like that.

Swirls and dents need to stay, that way everyone gets out of your way.

 

I believe on a classic it's called "patina". :rofl:

Struggling to part with the green one.

Runs like a dream.

 

I even cleaned it.

Well, ran it through a hand car wash for £6 anyway.

please keep that one. SORN it, tuck it away at the back, whatever but please keep it :)

Maybe if it sells the gtr will get a fantasia green wrap?

I was going to sell the GT-R instead.

I thought as much - gtr isn't as fun to drive as yeti vrs or the fiesta? Let alone the citigo!!

Keep a Fantasia green MkI fabia or keep a GT-R :think:

Hmmmm decisions, decisions.

 

I know, I'll keep the green Furby.

 

Bonkers!

 

And that's why we love you, mate :D

 

 

I really hope you'll keep the Fabia and store it for fun. If it goes, I hope it goes to someone who appreciates it.

 

I'll ask SWMBO if there's room :bandit:

 

;)

I know what she'll say though :(

Well I've just written out the advert for the GT-R on the forum for them.

See if I can free up a parking space that way.

If anyone has £67k burning a hole in their pocket let me know. :happy:

Yes, the 14 plate.

That cleans up really well :)

I know it goes against the grain, but it would make quite a good show car. It's certainly a striking colour.

Give it Vrs or the gt bumper and it will be a real looker

I +1'd Charlie.

 

 

 

I'm having a cider thanks :D

Another vote for keeping the green Fabia here. I saw one the other day, was so distracted I nearly waked into a lamppost!

How about sticking a 20vt under the hood plus some vRS bumpers? You could then sell it to me after a week when you got fed up with it! ;)

Well, I shall be relieving the bossy fox of some fabia bits next week, but not touching the green one.  If anything I "think" I am contributing to it! :D

 

So, as well as the rear wiper motor, it looks like there will be more ex-Pasty wagon heading on to the mongrel in due course :D

What happened to the Leaf?  Did it ever get the Teckna kit?

If you mean the Nismo bodykit, suspension and wheels I've got all that in boxes at work for when I end up with a LEAF again...

I noticed today that slimer/green machine/FGF (Fantasy Green Fabia) has a back tyre on about 2mm..

Then noticed all the tyres are a bit of an assortment.

 

A quick check online and I found the benefit of 185/60R14 as a tyre size.

Four premium brand tyres with good wet performance and low noise for around £40 each!

 

Bargain. :yes:

 

Even dug out my Skoda Club UK tax disc holder and put the tax in too.

Changed the insurance over from my previous LEAF and got a 20% rebate on that as well.

Yea when i first saw the tyres, i thought they were for a rally car! :D

 

It appear to me to have quite a "lair-y" tread pattern.

 

 

Could always take it Rally Cross :P

Fantasy green wrc body kitted rally cross car :)

with a Beige interior ;)

Why not just fit the 1.8T Ibiza running gear in too? :P

Not seen this thread for a few days and so much happens....can't believe the GT-R's for the chop. You've barely had it a week.

Six weeks I think.

I've done a GTROC meet, wedding and Castle Combe in it though. :)
