"Accidently" on purpose!

 

You should buy this and save me the dilema.

We could be Fantasy Green Fabia buddies.  :rofl:

But your favorite engine in the whole world!

Anyway, I've put a bid in on your behalf. ;)

If cheap enough, that's a good bootlid for minty! ;)

Good shout about the boot lid - good excuse to buy it lol

Feeling quite pleased with myself tonight. :)

 

Thought if I was using the FGF for going to work occasionally it should really have bluetooth.

So I popped down to Halfords and picked up a cheapish head unit that includes bluetooth.

It won the Auto Express products test a week or two ago so can't be too bad.

Bonus is it's got DAB too.

 

So after the children went to bed I headed for the car with an assortment of tools...

An hour and a half later I've ripped out the old ill fitting head unit, fitted this one correctly, flush as it should be.

Also have run the wires to the DAB ariel in the passenger A post and the microphone wire to the driver A post, after a lot of threading wires through the dash so everything is invisible as it should be.

 

So I've now got fully working DAB with a huge assortment of channels (I could only get Radio 2 and Chelmsford Radio before) and a good signal strength, plus handsfree phone and music streaming. :clap:

 

It's even got a USB plug on the front too.

are you going to wire in a dash cam or did you already do that? Is there a Blueteeth dash cam available that could record directly to the USB slot in the new funky HU?

I've already put front and rear Blackvue 400s in.

 

No idea if there is one that can do that, or if the headunit is capable.

For £129 I doubt it. :D

Next week you'll be fitting a 1000W subwoofer and 18" alloys

:D

No other bids.

So £125 minimum bid plus fees. :)

Sounds a good deal for a replacement bootlid Richard - and you get a car thrown in for free :D

A restoration to it's former glory in hand?

I just want the rear bumper and tailgate.

It's pre-faded to the correct colour! :D

That's not too bad on price for those parts really especially as they're the same colour saving respray etc

Worse than that, it leads to other thoughts. :peek:

 

 

A quick scout of the depot reveals these...

 

Carbon/fibreglass tailgate

Exactly has the 1.8t been mated with the wrc body kit before now by a Brisky member or could it be another first?

In Fantasy Green it'd definitely be a first! :D

That'd be a great colour! Ignore Black Magic and Race Blue! Fantasy Green for the win! Was it a colour limited to only the Fabia?

And last.

You can still get it as a special option in Czech, you can even order a new Octavia in it :)
