I've not really done much performance wise / suspension wise...... So far done the following..........


Seat Cupra PD160 air intake
Green cotton air filter
Seat PD130 engine sound proofing
LED interior lighting
LED rear numberplate lighting
Fitted rear vRS badges to the front doors and dashboard
Renault Scenic aero wiper conversion
Philips SilverVision indicators front & rear
Front drinks holder alongside HU
And in the next few weeks i'll be replacing the chrome grill surround with one painted Black Magic Pearl to match the rest of the car.

Around 4 of us tried to fit LED sidelights to my car at a Briskoda meet without success...... It appears that with the 06 model onwards you have to remove the battery on the xenon fitted examples to get anywhere near the passenger side sidelight bulb..... So i gave that one up as a bad job. :roll:



I went for black pearl paint, ESP, xenons & cruise control as factory options......





When do you have the new oine delivered???

News to me......... I'm pretty sure they've not even starting making the limited editon run out model of the vRS...... (Race Blue paint, Full leather, Red calipers.......). So i would have thought they were still making the normal vRS model. I think you might have been sold some duff info there mate :shock:

Just had a poke around on the http://www.briskoda.net forum and it appears that production of the vRS has been 'temp stopped' so as to produce the limited edition version of the vRS.........


So you were sort of told the truth...... Looks like the vRS will be produced alongside the new model for a while as there are no plans for a 'new' vRS for well over a year.




Get yourself over to Briskoda when you get the car it's a very good group of guys & gals.

ye i was told about the limited edition, when i test drove the vrs, wouldnt mind one, but wasnt willing to wait till may, and was told the choice of extras is non exsistant. im already a member on briskoda.

Where did you get your pd 160 intake from? and does it make any improvement on performance??

I ordered the Cupra intake and also the PD130 sound proofing from the local Seat dealer in Sheffield. I just got the part numbers off Briskoda and ordered them direct with the dealer..... When i mentioned they were for a Furby the guy laughed and said that was what he thought i was doing etc....... It does seem to make the engine more responsive at the top end of the revs...... Where it used to die back it now seems to give a little more something..... :wink: That's with the new panel filter too though..... I got the filter (Greens) off Ebay.

Had a friend ship it from Czech, the armrest is exactly the same as the one found in the mkiv Golf, but with a special bracket for the Fabia.

BTW, I've also ordered the Jabba rear arb so I'll let you know what it's like.

Enjoy......... Keep an eye on that oil level though to start with....... And make sure you get the right stuff if you need to top it up.
