Eskimo's Fabia-lous vRS.
Hi,
Thought I'd post a progress thread up for my Fabia.
Ive owned it around 5 months now, it replaced my Honda Civic EG6 B16A2 as was just costing me way to much to run, was a great car though!
Anyway, im not going to bore you all to much with this talking.. My names Liam, 20, and from Nottingham.
Spec:
vRS 1.9 TDi 130, Remapped by Shark to 172bhp, 289lb torque.
FK Highsport Coilovers.
FK Front anti roll bar.
Straight through pipe, Mufflerectomary and Cupra Tip.
Gold Calipers.
Grey VRS Wheels.
Colour coded Handles.
Colour coded LCR Splitter.
Colour coded Shuttle pan.
Colour coded Mirror Bases.
Colour coded Door strips.
Catch Tank, baffled.
Yellow Fogs.
Colour coded number plate surround.
Colour coded fog surrounds.
Colour coded grill.
Tints all round.
Allard EGR Delete.
Heres a few of my old cars, not in order.




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.
Hope you like it, and any comments feel free.
Will be updated thread with anything I do, ill be updating the thread later to make it easier to read, rushing for work at the moment.
Enjoy.

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

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

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.
