Lahi's Monte Mk2 project

[SuperB-Nl]

Hi, 

 

It's time for me to open a project thread of my Fabia. 

 

So it all began in 2011 when I bought it. It's 1.2 TSI with normal MonteCarlo equipment with some extras:

 

- 4 extra speakers

- Radio Swing

- Maxi-DOT

- Climatronic

 

As we talk about modifications it has :

 

- 1.2 TSI 129hp - stage 1 with BMC air filter

- All lights inside and outside were changed to LED bulbs,cold white color only fog lights are yellow

- New logo front and back

- Removed doors stripes

- Dewiped - removed tail wiper

- Radio swap to radio Bolero from Superb

- Subwoofer Blaupunkt XLb 300a

- Soundproofed doors and the whole back end

- Back taillights are swapped for black tint ones (SONAR lights) 

- ATE ceramic pads

- ATE powerdiscs

- ATE blue racing brake fluid

- NGK sparks

- Eibach coilovers 30-60mm 

- Wheels Cadeus Zeus 18" - 5x100 ET35 8J

- Tires Vredstein Ses. 215/35/18

- Changed the color of the front mask and the lower end of plastic between the fog lights to metallic black

 

Some pictures with time chronology from oldest to newest:

Really love the look of this, like the gloss grill, wouldn't have thought of that, might do it to mine :p how did you fill the gap where the wiper was, always wanted to de-wiper mine but never knew how to fill the whole, just a rubber grommet? More glass?..

Hi, love the build so far! How did you get the metallic glossy black look on the front grill? Mine is like a matt black finish and think it would look better glossy, did you just spray paint it, or?

[SuperB-Nl]

Hi, it is spray painted and it looks great I really recomend it.

Thanks, it does look good. Was it any normal gloss black spray paint or did you have to match the colour? Also how did you get the front grill off to do it? Or did you leave it on?

[SuperB-Nl]

Local dealer did that for me so I really dont know :/

What spec are ur wheels mate? Ie size, et, j?

[SuperB-Nl]

here you go

18x8J ET35 - 5x100

In front, the wheels rubed at brake pades. So I did some grinding on pads and for that there is no rubbing. But i think that was because of the interior structure (not the wide) of those wheels.

So this weekend I will apply gtechniq EXO coating with C1.5.

But before that here is one old picture of remap on aprx. 130hp and 220Nm.

Where do u buy the Polish from? Unreal finish mate

[SuperB-Nl]

Some of the stuff used in this project were:

-CarPro Reset

-Gtechniq P1 nano polish paste (Better then Manzerna for me)

-Some Manzerna polish paste

-Gtechniq G6 for glass

-Gtechniq W6 for wheels and body. For same purpose I used CarPro Iron X and results are the same

-CarPro Eraser

-Gtechniq EXO after polishing

-And after EXO siol seal Gtechniq C1.5

-And some other goodies

The EXO and C1.5 are really great!! After two days (one suny and one rainy) I was very impressed with shine and bending of the rain drops.

Before I used R222 wax, CarPro Reload and some others but nothing can compare with this setup (from what I tried).
