@Damo also, have you seen these?

 

http://www.superskoda.com/Skoda/FABIA-III/Fabia-III-door-handle-covers-REAL-CARBON-FIBRE

 

ever since some anus slammed their door against my passenger handle about a month after i got my car ive wanted to wrap my handles but these showed up on superskoda a few weeks ago.

 

i think they would look great and also help deflect the doors of those who cant be bothered to watch what they are doing 

 

 

@Nathanb93 they look pretty good to be fair.

Probably suit yours more than mine with the colour schemes we have.

Would certainly hide your little door handle blemish anyway

i think they would look good on yours too

@Nathanb93 Hell yes, they do look good, although I'd prefer Gloss black if I'm honest

@Damo as they are carbon fibre you could just sand back the lacquer and paint them what ever you wanted... 

 

we will have to get them now!  looking back on the images without them it feels like there is something missing

Edited 15 July, 20178 yr by Nathanb93

@Nathanb93 It would be cheaper and easier for me to have them wrapped.

Might have them done when I go back in for the window tints  

sounds good!  I will let you know when ive got mine!

After spending most weekends detailing other peoples cars, finally spent some time on my own.

 

Snowfoamed

 

 

 

2BM Washed with G3 Body Prep Shampoo to strip old wax off

 

 

 

Dried with my favourite Drying Towels

 

 

 

No need for Claying (having only covered 2200 miles since I got it in January and its garaged every night) so just a light polish over with my DA and Dodo Juice Lime Prime 

 

Quick interior clean (again a doddle, as there is only really ever me in the car) and back in the garage.

 

2 coats of Nattys Paste wax applied and jobs a good un

 

 

And close up of Roof and Bonnet

 

 

 

 

 

 

Also picked up a genuine Monte Carlo front splitter and rear diffuser for a bargain price

 

just need to get them fitted at some point soon.

 

 

 

 

 

Thats all for now

 

Cheers

Got them off eBay 

Been looking for a while for some to come up off a write off

Just need to decide whether to have them resprayed or wrapped gloss black, as they have the odd mark and I’m a bit fussy

Hydrodipped in carbon

I’m keeping with the gloss black theme, although that would probably look great too

Big thanks to @WayTooTall for enabling Hill Hold for me.

He tried his best to enable coming home/leaving home lights for cars without fog lights but it wasn't having it unfortunately.

Top man, cheers

 

@Damo

I have been following your great mods for the few months. As of yesterday I am owner of a 6 month old Fabia 1.2tsi SEL 110 after 15 years with VW. Can you please advise how was hill-hold enabled, was it via vcd? I really liked the interior led lights, could you kindly give me a link for those as they look great. I will deffo need to look for a spare tyre to be honest, hate those glue things. It really strange that cig lighter plug is live all the time, resulting in my dash cam being on all night, just realised, oops. I don't know will I be confident to do a hard wire. My last two Polos and wife's current mk5 golf dont/didnt have it live. What's the reason for keeping it live? Best regards.

Hi

Yes, Hill hold was done via VCDS

Led interior lights are these:

https://www.xenonsonline.com/skoda-yeti-10-13-bright-cree-white-led-interior-roof-dome-light.html

 

Way, way brighter than just a bulb upgrade!

 

Agree, about the permanent live... bit of a pain, so hardwire is the way to go.

 

Regarding, the spare, definitely need a proper wheel... the slime is a waste of time!

(Possibly be selling mine soon if your interested, as a change of plan means I think I may be changing cars soon)

 

Also will be selling the front and rear Monte Carlo Bodykit and Team Heko wind deflectors... will do a proper for sale ad soon.

 

Likewise, if anyone is contemplating buying a Fabia, then mine would be a bargain buy with only 2200 miles on the clock and 25 months warranty still on it. To say I have looked after it is a big understatement... its as good as the day I got it as I am the only person who ever uses it and its kept in a garage.

 

Would make a big saving over buying new thats for sure.

 

As I said, I will do a proper for sale ad soon

 

Cheers

How did the number plate surrounds go on?? Did they fit ok?

@Shawry85 number plates went on fine fella

Multiple holes for as few or many screws as you want... or sticky pads if you’d prefer

Just do it mate, makes a big difference to the looks of the car  

After a half hearted sale attempt (and lack of interest due to not being prepared to give it away) I’m keeping her until next November at least.

Thats when I can VT it (or possibly advertise it again)

Just need to decide whether to fit or sell the Monte kit now

So what's your next car plan if any? You sticking with Skoda?
