My new Fabia VRS SE - SOLD !!

Result, good to hear Skoda are doing that  

Good to hear they are looking after you,the paint on my 3year old a4 was dire and needed warranty attention.
hopefully they will leave it 100%

Paint all done on Skods warranty perfectly by Steve Walker in Bathgate.

Black new style badges on, I fitted new Meyle drop links last week and doing Brembo front discs and pads next weekend.

So away to pick up my new 17" mk1 Octavia VRS Spider alloys and then they will be away for refurb, then wrapped in Toyo Proxe T1Rs in 205 40 17 with black new style badges.

Got s price for a Longlife stainless system today so that's on the cards.

It's booked in for timing belt and pump change in 2 weeks and then once the new wheels are on gotta decide whether it needs lowered.

Already sourced Eibach lowering springs, new front and rear top mounts, track rod ends and bottom ball joints in case 😉

Already fitted new Meyle drop links and Brembo front discs and pads.

Going to black wrap the chrome grill as well.

Once the wheels are on it will look like this -

Nice looking car, are you happy with it?

After years of car loans I'm loving it not having one, well I won't when the M3 leaves in a few weeks.

It's s great wee car and what enjoying is being able to play with it especially as the Sportline is away, so I need something to do things to 👍

Just waiting on a date for a full 3 day paint correction.

I had a skoda once.

My lasting memory of it was the heater knobs falling off as it accelerated! I could have lived with the phenomenon but it was only powered by a 1200 engine!

As long as that was the only knob to fall off 😳

Wheels look great, please say you are keeping them silver....

RichardHall I am keeping them silver 😉

Nice one!    I'm really like this one  

So new rear Brembos bought to match the fronts.

Decided to lower it -25mm to sit better on the 17's, so I've done the drop links so ordered new front and rear top mounts, bump stops, tie rods and track rod ends, balljoints, Bilstein B4 dampers and Eibach lowering springs.

Then it should sit and look like the car in the pics earlier in my thread.

VRS is in for it's timing belt and pump today and some goodies arrived.

Car back from getting the belts and pump fitted and gave it a quick once over before it gets its enhancement detail next week.
Removed the gutter trims and cleaned them out and changed the Orange front indicators for silver ones.
Also ordered Brembo rear brake pads and Osram headlight bulbs.

Car booked in for a Remap and EGR delete this Thursday which should make it run smoother, more torque and BHP and better fuel economy.
Got a great deal as its usually £250 but March special deal of £150  

Wheels are getting dropped off this Friday to powdercoaters and then picked up next Friday.

Car gets dropped off this Sunday for the 3 day paint enhancement.

Lastly the suspension and rear Brembo brakes are getting done on the 17th April after my hols.

More bits have arrived -

Bilstein B4 struts
Brembo rear discs
VRS etched stickers
Philips headlight bulbs
Black original wheel nuts

New stuff!  

You can't beat a Bilstein kit  

Hopefully Andy 😊

I loved them on the Sportline matched with the Eibach lowering springs so I hope I am equally impressed 😄

Wheels were dropped off last Friday and decided to get them anthracite grey.

VRS is with the detailers just now for 3 days getting a paint correction and stonechips wet sanded out.

Here's before, during and after pics of the chips.

Chips filled with a blob of paint, then wet sanded and finally corrected.
