I'm sure this has been asked before, but I wondered if the 'C' shaped rear light clusters on the post-2003 face-lifted Fabia would fit straight into my original 2002 Fabia?

Sure do, just unbolt the old ones and slot the newer ones in their place

yeah have a look in one of my threads i fitted mines last week and posted up pics!! straight swap, costs around £70 from dealers

have you still got the old lights?i am thinking of taking mine old skool:D

how hard are they to fit and how do you acces the nuts?

Ill do you a swap for my old school style rear lights

I notice there's a set of new style lights on eBay at the moment. Personally, I don't really see how they're any nicer than the old ones. Only real Skoda-geeks (i.e. people like us!) would ever notice anyway. Just doesn't justify the cost. IMO, you're much better off spending your money on upgraded bulbs etc for your front lights if you've got cash to burn.

i agree,they put a little bit of clear plastic where there was once red plastic so it forms a c and call it an update,but it is strange how the devil is in the details,can just see it now,oh look its one of those se's,but wait shock horror it has the early non facelift rear lights on it,god we are real geeks arn't we:rofl:
