got the car with 70k on the clock, it was/is in excellent condition having only 1 previous owner and full skoda service history. Not sure they will want to service my car again after the changes mind you... :D

 

and after the mods:

Roof gloss black wrap

Front grill wrapped gloss black

seat leon front splitter fitted and sprayed gloss black

front bumper black plastic sprayed gloss black

side pillars wrapped gloss black

rear windows and boot window tinted

brake calipers sprayed yellow

alloys re-sprayed gloss black

wing mirrors also gloss black

rear badges removed, holes filled in and resprayed

also the rear spoilers paint was pealing, had that resprayed too,

 

I have an armrest and cruise control stalk to fit next month.

 

Other areas work is going into is the suspension, lowering 40mm on H&R springs

Darkside development re-map to around 170bhp

and rear anti-role bar (whiteline) being installed

 

let me know what you think! any comments welcome.

 

 

 

 

That looks fantastic :)

Doing the fog surrounds and number plate surround in black will finish the front off nicely.

Will keep an eye on this project

The vRS looked good standard but the work you did to it as made it look so much better it's fun how the little things make the biggest difference to a car very nice job keep it up

whiteline rear anti-roll bar fitted!

 

and the cars now on H&R springs, rides not been compromised that I have noticed and isn't too low, sits nicely.

Re-map didn't go as well I had hoped, apparently its running at a high temp, would benefit greatly from an uprated intercooler and pipework ive been told.

and just a pic after its been cleaned ;D

A few more updates, forgot to include this last time I posted. Had the EGR valve removed when it went in for the re-map.

girlfriend kept opening the car door into walls so I got these from halfords which look quite good on and match the car when you sit back.

Also my Briskoda sticker arrived today, saw someone stick it here on a previous thread and liked the look (copied :D).

I'm thinking about getting the round green briskoda sticker and placing it inside my old tax disc holder, any thoughts?

Looks good, all the bits I wanted to do to mine before I decided I want to sell

Cheers, not finished spending cash on it yet :D what made you sell?

I must admit I almost sold this one before the work went into it to buy the newer fabia vrs.
