Hello everyone my name is Lukas and I'm from Edinburgh few months ago I got my fabia 2006 1.4 TDI classic 71k on clock, I know is not 1.9 vrs but insurance prices are stupid for me just know: D I can’t afford to pay 200 pound a month so I will keep that car for a few years until I am gonna be older In those years I am gonna try to make my car as comfortable as I can. Not just for me and for my girlfriend.

 

I took car from the garage. The first thing which I notice that car was dirty: D The garage guy told me that family was using the car so I am not surprise. Seats with holes…. No point to clean them or try to hide everything so I need to find new ones.

I found wheels for me but I am not sure about them because they are 195/65 R15 (H). So I am thinking to keep alloys and to get new tires.

Don't forget that you need to declare them on your insurance, which will probably put your premiums up. 

Some pictures of my car:

I think it is M12 I might be wrong tho mate

I didn't bother polishing mine I just bought some Depo Headlights instead look better IMO

It's a M10 spline bolt. NOT a torx/star bit.
