........... went to the dealers last weekend for some headlamp protectors and saw the car i wanted 6months ago :eek: ... a black magic furby VundefinedRS with all the toys xenons,cruise,side airbags, sunroof etc etc just had to have it, fiancee willing :eyepop: she made me buy it :throwrose knew there was a reason for marrying her! Picked it up thurs nite, happy days...

suspension seems a lot stiffer, boot has new guide stops, to stop it creeking

, not use to the colour yet washed the bugger 3times so far xenons brilliant dearest headlamp protectors ive ever bought.

Blimey, good colour choice though.

Did it leave you out of pocket alot or did you get a good deal on the new one?

not at all only a few quid extra a month for nearly 2.5k worth of extras not bad eh!

got wot i paid for the car and i had done 7.5ks, no extras:)

I take it your new car has the new gearbox? What do you think of it? Personally, I love the close ratio's in my car... BTW, are you saying that the suspension on the new one is in some way intentionally stiffer than your old one, or do you think its just because your new one was run in?

no my suspension is alot stiffer compared to the 53car, feels alot more chuckable into corners, didnt know it had a new gearbox? but it does feel slicker than the old car

Yeah - these 04 Fabia's do seem improved in several areas. It'sgot to hear from someone who's lived with both. You say you got what you paid for the old Fabia, that sound great. What kinda money are Fabia vRS's going for with 7.5k?

John[/quote'] Ahh.. think ive seen you around... when did you get your car?

Glad you're happy with the swap! Black is the colour!

Its great having the 'roof now the weather is getting warmer

Interested too in these new boot guide stops - what are they for?

Colin got my car about 1month ago, so you might have seen me driving round. Next time you see me give me a flash or a wave.

John

Cool. hope your happy with it

will keep an eye out for ya

53reg 7.5k almost list price:) the boot guide stops hold the hatch in place to stop it

creaking, my old one did it alot! they are blocks either side of the hatch opening just below the parcel shelf, and the hatch has rubber blocks that close onto them which hold the hatch firm and quiet.

Ive only ever seen 2 other furby VRS's red and silver nice to know 2more black ones so close!

cool. think i would struggle with mine.. lol 16k on the clock :(

could you possibly get pictures of these boot things? im interested to see if mine has them

What dealer gve you such a good deal i'm looking to swap my basic slilver vrs for a black one with all the extras but my dealer didn't hint of such good trade in values?

Stokey
