Here is my Skoda Fabia Monte Carlo, 2013, 39.000 km.

I bought the car almost accidentally, but i am really happy about it

Engine: 1.2 TSI 86
Options: heated seats, arm rest, maxidot, black interior, bluetooth, climatronic, DRL, parktronic, tinted windows.
Mods done: connected USB to DAB, kicker speakers in backdoors.

 

Yesterday i ordered from aliexpress LED's for DRL, reverse light and number plate.

Upcoming mods: upgrade front door speakers, new black tail lights, amundsen+, chip engine,  new exhaust.

 

 

 

 

and a little video that i have made:

 

 

 

New LED lights installed, without any tools. Took only 10 minutes.

 

How to remove fog/DRL lights, unlock with a card and you can easily remove the unit:

 

One LED, one standard:

 

Both LED installed in DRL:

 

Number plates lights also changed to LED:

 

Errors free:

 

DRL at night, about 50% brighter:

 

DRL, front:

 

Number plate at night:

 

Not too bright, not too dark:

I used 80w Cree in my DRLs, 50w H11 Cree in the fog lamps, SMD w5w for side lights, Phillips silver vision PY21W front indicators, 30w p21w in the reverse lamp, h7 HID 6000K upgrade for dipped/main beam. 2 w5w LED for the map lights and a 36mm LED festoon bulb for the courtesy lamp. I think I may have used 43mm LED festoon bulbs in the number plate bulbs. Also changed the w5w in the boot for an LED bulb.

I fitted 3 x 30cm SMD strips inside the boot for extra light worked to the interior boot light. Also put interior footwell lights in front and rear using 30cm SMD strips wired to the interior map lights each side. While I was at it I fitted puddle lights on the underside of the door cards and also a red 'warning' strip light on the leading edge of the door that illuminated when the door opened which was wired to the interior lamp.

Sounds like a lot now I've written it all in one place lol

Retrofitted cruise control, centre arm rest, cone air filter, heko wind deflectors front and rear, aluminium foot rest, Briskoda stickers, fly eye on fogs and rear lights, debadged. Think that's it lol. Oh, and hard wired dash cam.

No performance mods though, it was the 105ps so nippy enough for what I wanted.

To remove the fog light unit the manual suggests you remove the two outer sections of the inner lower grill by grasping the two middle strips, squeezing them together and pulling towards you. Then through that gap reach in and undo the clip for the light unit. I didn't know you could use a card like that, nice little trick!!

My lighting mods and stuff are all in various threads in the forum if your interested, I did a write up in the footwell and puddle lights.

I personally don't like stickers on a car, they are reserved for the 'special limited edition' corsas and cars that look like they have ram raided Halfords! Each to their own though. Have you seen JayMitchells car? It's stickers up to the max and has neon lights comin out of everywhere, it's a bit of a marmite car but he spent a load on it, think I read he has moved on to a Corsa now but not sure...

Haha, thanks for the update, it was good to know which direction i can move forward I do not like stickers ether, clean car is best in my opinion

I contacted one chip tuning company, they offering remap for my car up to 130 hp and 210 NM, that's not so bad.

 

Now we have a winter in Norway, so few pictures with a snow:

Ordered today Amundsen+ from ebay with 2016 maps:

 

Amundsen+ installed. Aerial GPS antenna installed under upper glove box, on the steel frame besides the airbag.

 

 

 

Looking good, only thing that niggles at me is the power symbol on the dial, it's at an angle it should always be the right way up but never managed it myself, just my OCD creeping in haha.

Remap sounds good, won't do much for you in that snow though!

I had to YouTube that Adele mix on your display, nice remix for driving to.

Today morning i found this water leak on the passenger side footwell:

 

 

Called to Skoda, they are going to fix it now, goes under warranty.

Water leakage fixed. New photos:

 

 

Looking nice, what was causing the leak? Any thoughts to lower the ride height a wee bit?

It was some crack inside doors. Looks like Skoda dealer knows this issue.

Agree, need to do something with those big spaces between archs Need to start to look for coilovers.

I read there was a problem with he seals on the Octy but never heard of it on the Fabia. Glad it sorted though.
