What you think then guys and girls?

Looks the dog's danglies! :D

Pimp tints, DTM back box, and WRC wing... Yes, you're still some way of ;)

Looks good :thumbup:!

Not forgetting the Briskoda sticker in the back window.... :shocked:

....and mudflaps!

No actually on both the front and rear valance... and on the sideskirts... Iaaannnn!!! We need more stickers!

...of the external sort otherwise they won't look quite right on the inside of the aforementioned protuberances, will they?! rolleyes.gif

Looking rather tasty now mate. :p

Gonna have to get my finger out and sort out the suspension now! :D

Now thats how it should have looked from the Factory !

They look like they're on stilts in standard trim.

Very Nice !! :thumbup:

wot suspension you got on it? how low is it now? and how much did it cost?

I would hazard at a 30mm drop (15mm for vRS!) as it looks very much like my old ride height. I think that techie decided on Eibach in the end. I'm sure he will correct me if I am wrong! :)

i may be wrong but to me for a sports car it still likes high but i do like it. how much and part no if any one knows please

Looking good!

What settings have you got the konis on?

Dont forget I only fitted the suspension yesterday.

Eibach springs can drop another 10mm or so as they settle in. The current drop is 30mm from standard ride height (vRS is no different from what I can tell ride height wise). The difference would be more obvious if the standard 16's were still on.

We will be offering the suspension as a kit shortly, with a discount for Briskoda members. ;)

I've got the Koni's set quite soft at the moment, you cant go to stiff as the Fabia has quite a short wheelbase and if you go to hard the car could become quite a handfull over bumps. Its pretty easy to adjust them anyhow. The fronts are top adjustable and the rear require removal but that not too difficult.

Glad you all approve :)

The wheels/RS look fantastic m8 but you could have swept the leaves up before the photo shoot. ;)

Very nice colour choice, what colour is that exactly. :D

.........what colour is that exactly.
Good morning, my colour-blind friend from deepest Kent. I am extremely surprised that you are unable to recognise BLACK either, but hopefully advances in medical science will come to your aid one day! rolleyes.gif

BTW, I hope you don't lay leaves when someone has asked for a gravel drive.........

This is indeed how the vRS should have come out the factory, with a nice suspension setup, much lower than it is now, with 17" wheels.

I do like those Seat wheels though, definitely suit the car and look the dog's danglies. I'm still in two minds whether I prefer those or mine, but I'll say I like both just as much to be diplomatic. :D

That certainly is how the vRS should have come from the factory. But if it did, where would the fun come from in the modding! ;)

cant see the pics mate, really need em to convince my g/f that this is the car for me, it does need lowering!

cheers

You can visit my gallery at the link in my sig.

cheers mate, i can see em now, Ps i didnt mean your needs lowering, your looks sweet! i meant the std one does!!

are those wheels 18' (look like leon cupra R ones??), will the replica rs4 wheels for golfs etc fit in either 17/18?

cheers

Have to say that while the wheels in themsleves are nice, they look far to big for the car. 13 or 14 inch wheels would look more in place on a super mini like the fabia. :bigcrowd:

they come standard with 16inch so why would they put 13 14 inch on

They are 17" SEAT Sport wheels. Same as Cupra R just a bit smaller.

17" Version of RS4 style wheel would look sweet indeed. Get a 7.5 x 17 and 205/40 tyres. We sell the replica RS4 wheels btw ;)

Have you got a pic of the RS4 wheels?

i think that the octy vRS wheels would look good on a fabia too.

There 17's. Thought they where 18's at first. Shouldn't be much difference in the radius against the 16's then.

How much were they a wheel (without tyres).

O your car looks ace mate. Some tints may be needed next me thinks.
