First pics of my Furby VRS

[ultra_joel88]

Here's a few pics of my Furby VRS I picked up about 3-4 weeks ago.

Still love it.

Got it for 7.5k on an 04 with 28k on it. 2 Previous owners, one was the garage as a demo, then a Vicar!

In good nick a few marks here and there, but dont think it had ever been polished. So about 3 weeks ago gave it a full clay bar treatment followed by Autoglym SRP and a coat of Meguirs Caranuba Wax.

Washed it again today with AG Bodywork Conditioner and another coat of Meguirs Wax. Washed the wheels up and a coat of tyre shine on the Toyo Proxes T1-R (good tyres by the way, very grippy).

Done a few little bits and bobs, PD160 intake, Pipercross panel filter, arosa cupholder, Alpine 9846r CD player (symphony didnt play MP3 cd's), and debaged "Fabia", cheeky little brakelight mod which wont be to everyones taste, little beesting ariel which is great I think. Also upgraded the headlight bulbs including Osram Diadem indicators. Oh and my private reg which I LOVE for £250!

Here are the pics

Hahaha! That's ****in class mate!

That's a lovely car man - I got a 54 in black also. Going to get a VRS plate for it near xmas. I washed mine on thursday, parked under a tree on friday and now it's covered in some sort of sticky **** - no idea what it is or where it's come from, but I'm gonna park elsewhere from now on.

Cheers matey.

If I were to hazard a guess... I would say it's sap.. a spot of Autoglym Tar Remover should see to it.

LOL! Nice brake light!

[ultra_joel88]

Well one thing I will say is that it certainly annoys Mondeo and Escort drivers more than any other

[xtramc]

i ******* love the brake light how did u do that??

[ultra_joel88]

Just contacted some guy on ebay who makes them custom. I sent him the measurements and he knocked it up for me for about £3.50.

I can get some more if we get sufficient interest.

Hi,

I think that is one Great looking vRS, I also really love the Brake Light!!!!

The one thing I reckon would finish it off would be to Colour Code the Grille.

Cheers

[ultra_joel88]

Ohh its a long way off finished hehe... planning remap, 17" octy alloys, tints, eibachs, exhaust.....but nothing major for a year or so.

Looking into grille at the minute

[Kiwi-VRS]

The Cupholders is a very easy mod my friend.

you just need to cut the clips off the top (I snapped them off using a pair of pliers) and then it just slots in place of the uhhhh slot lol.

PM james_skylinesigns23 on ebay and ask him to sort you out with a Fabia brakelight cover

If you didn't want to be so cheeky (or don't have a vRS), someone could organise a group buy of "Briskoda.net" brakelight stickers.

[Fabia156]

haha.. I love the Kiss my VRS part

[oilburninnut]

A cheap top mod would be for you to buy some Bosch Retrofit front Aero wipers, not only are they a marked improvment over the original blades but the do smarten up the look of the front of the car.

Nice mota

Cheeky Brake Lights

Might be safer to put 'British Tae Kwon Do As*'n' underneath

2nd thoughts, no need, wth all the washing and polishing of a black car your biceps should come up nicely

To be honest when it lights up and I look behind most behind just smile and have a laugh.

I have had a couple of people get a bit shirty, some old bloke in a freelander who came up 2 inches from my bumper in a 60 zone, then flashed his lights and pulled out abruptly

And a guy in a Mondeo 2.0 who thought he was Jackie Stewart trying to overtake me in a 30mph zone

Cheers matey.

If I were to hazard a guess... I would say it's sap.. a spot of Autoglym Tar Remover should see to it.

Mate, it's ALL OVER every bit of the car! Is tar remover the only thing that will remove it properly? I was hoping a good wash would do the trick.

[ultra_joel88]

Yeah use a good shampoo... autoglym or meguirs if you can afford it, wouldnt hurt to put a tiny little bit of tar remover in with the water either I suppose.

[fabtdi]

I think you will find that the marks are Aphid **** (green fly etc.) commonly known as "honeydew" which is the excess they excrete whilst munching on tree leaves.

I don't think it will do any damage to paint since it is basically glucose.

[Wabey]

any guides on the Arosa cupholder?! and more pics. Really want a better cup holder than the one between the seats!

[ultra_joel88]

its easy matey.

Just buy the cupholder (cost me £35).

when you get it there are two small plastic clips on the top, cut these off or rip them off with some pliers like I did.

Then just use brute force to remove the cubby hole below the stereo (removing stereo may make this easier NOTE quite a lot of force is required!).

then the cupholder just slides in its place.
