Hello there!

 

I thought it about time to register an account here as I have been reading your forums for a while now.
What I've read so far has confirmed that I'm not alone in my grand plans for unnecessary modifications to our fabulous 07 Fabia mk2 1.4.

 

I've maintained and serviced my own push bikes for a while now but only recently started taking on more car maintenance.

I've already managed a few minor jobs with increasing difficulty myself like new plates, wipers, oil changes, front discs and pads.

 

The aim is to keep this fab going as economically as we can and for as long as we can fit our growing family in to it..
When we do eventually outgrow it, a larger Skoda will still be top of our list.. so I hope to find solace in this forum for years to come.

 

Many Thanks for all your unknowing contribution to date.

Luke - aka Wez

Apologies in advance for the shameless self-plug... I know you've got a Mk2 but if you need some inspiration for things to do to your car then have a nosey at my project thread, if that takes your fancy. 

Thanks both!

 

@AnnoyingPentium My you've been busy, the red nugget is looking splendid, you've gained a new thread follower.

 

We've become very fond of out 'ginger' mk2 in 7 years we've owned it - i've attached some pics from July 2014 when we found it, approved used from Westover Skoda in Bournemouth.

 

All we've done since is add some roof bars for bikes and boards + keep up with the servicing.

Why thank you. I must say that your Fab is looking swell - I have quite a soft spot for that orange colour.

Many thanks to you also.

I remember when we bought it there was another v. similar age & milage approved used mk2 but it was a dark blue or grey and ~£1k more!

It's possible there was some other spec that I didn't notice but otherwise.. I'm not sure what their marketing dep. had against the orange but we love it 🧡

I was in the same boat. I had the choice between my red one in Hamilton (52k miles, £1,495), or a beige one with similar spec (beige interior however) in Lanark for £1,595. Go figure, I guess. 

They are certainly likeable cars.

 

Since we've had it, three other family members have been so impressed that they also bought mk2's of varying age and colour.

 

When we all get together It's like rent a Skoda garage.

Love that. No-one in my family had ever bought Skoda, we bought whatever we got a good deal on... Dacias, Vauxhall Vectras, Fiat Unos/Puntos, and so on. We had a neighbour with a gorgeous Mk1 Fabia vRS years ago and I had wanted one as my first car since.
