When I first got the car and it was lowered after 3 days of owning it, this was a trip to Matlock with the missus and dogs.

It went to be mapped by 'Shark Perfomance' a week later and I sprayed the wheels Matt black, I also started to clean it all up, by putting LED bulbs in, de-tango'd, and mufflerectomary.

In the mean time, its had new Cupra Bushes, FK Anti Roll bar, New expansion bottle, radiator, clutch, DMF, waterpump and thermostat.

The seats have been steam cleaned as was looking sorry for them selfs, there back to how they was.

A random filthy shot with BBS LM's on. And a it in the snow, fitted Tow strap, yellow fog lights, tints all round, spyvision on the lights and LCR Splitter by this point.

And as it stands today, colour coded mirror bases, splitter, door strips, shuttle pan, and grey wheels and engine cover. Also fitted a catch tank, and painted my calipers gold for temporary until I have 312mm.

[jsdvtr]

Really like these fabias, mate of mines just got one.

[Chr15]

very tempted to get one now im looking for a car. quite tempted by the cupra tdi too which has the pd160 engine. how much did you pay for it? some cheap ones out there but they're all silver!

[Ryan1992]

Didn't this have a progress thread before?

Your old civic looks nuts mate! Something about yellow cars is just better!

Fabia is looking good as well

[Lewis]

Really like this car! Sits sweet, could do with those BBS' back on though. And how the hell could you afford the insurance on an EG6 at 20?!

[willsy]

Liam sell me the dash out of the GT500! Pretty please

[BertieG]

one of the only diesels i would buy, looks very nice!

[tichy]

Not many black ones about don't like the seats should get the leathers would look a lot better

[Eskimo]

Thanks mate, yeah im happy how it sits, took alot of adjusting to get it perfect. Haha! I know right, I was actually insured on the EG at 18! Wish I didn't sell it sometimes!!

Liam sell me the dash out of the GT500! Pretty please

Ok, £350 :y:

Thanks, wanted a MK5 Golf GT TDi, but was so expensive, and alot more on insurance! Even though its the same engine.

A re-trim is hopefully in order, been talking to Seat Surgeons about ideas. :cool:

[Gandi699]

I think these are a sort of genesis for "hot" diesels. Thats quite a torque figure too, bet that shifts in gear

[DannoWilko]

Love these, partly because of the Advert on the TV with the green one, Epic, and these can be modified tastfully like yours - browny points there lol. Anyway, looks smart.

[bobertmate]

that is such a sexy Fabia!

[BBM]

The EG was porn.

[willsy]

Ok, £350 :y:

lol dammit i can't afford to/or justify buying the whole car :( Just need the dash grr

[lukeeboy149]

Fabia looks smart would love one of these after my VTR. The leather seats for these are nice with the piping and embosed VRS logo's.

A few random ones, how it sat on BBS. And it in bits...

Next was my Bonnet plastic holder? Jumped started my Dads car Sunday to find out my rubber has gone walkies! So replaced that.

Also ordered some trim clips for my doorcards for when I snapped a few fixing my leaky seals.

Also got Pastyboy to make me some Custom Badges on the GB. Nice touch I think. :D
