Skoda Fabia VRS

[DaddyCC]

Holy cow, thats a lovely colour!!! As for the bits round the edges, not so lovely, touch of a rapist there lol But sure its all about learning innit Although i defintootley would not have gone matt inside the wheel, the brake dust will stick to it like a mofo

Clean looking wee motor anyhow, it should all tie in well once you get the alloys on

 

[Gobsheene]

Got them all done. Turned out pretty good not too many imperfections

Eyes are stinging like hell though.

 

[Gobsheene]

Ahh well graham perhaps you're right about the brake dust but I'm not too worried

If the paint lasts a year I'll be well surprised!

Lovely motor mate

Would love to hear your thoughts on the JOM coilovers when you get them on.

Wife doesn't like the crashy ride of the Apex springs on our Octavia vRS, so I'd love to know if the JOM's would make a difference.

 

[Gobsheene]

Aye so they were looking good... And fairly dry. So I loaded them into the car and with extreme care I marked every ****ing one of them.

Impatient *******, I'm livid at myself

Some will come out but some defo won't .

sad times, i remember moving a rocker cover too soon after spraying but that was easily fixed in comparison to wheels.

wheels look very well dude. i remember when i was picking my spyders up after being sprayed by my brother and taking them to get tyres, i wrapped them up like babies, took the rear bench out so the seats would go flatter. good work though

Colour is fantastic, what is it on the rims?

 

[Gobsheene]

Its tetrosyl Grey 04 is all it says on the cap.

 

[miniator]

came out well, colours similar to the one i chose - Rover Gunmetal

 

[Jordy]

Love this car.....

I might invest in one of these shortly.

 

[Gobsheene]

That's what it's supposed to be, but is a totally different colour to the Halfords rattle cans I bought just I case

Cheers Jordy, they're great wee cars couldn't recommend one enough.

 

[Crimson]

I still rate these wee cars, hard to beat and much nicer looking than it's successor

great DIY on the rims lad, not exactly a Nuluk finish but Im sure you saved quite a bit of dough

The only thing I dislike about these is the factory finished seats - they're a nightmare to keep clean, I would get them re-trimmed in leather or black alcantara or even a bit of both

 

[Jola]

They turned out very well, its a pity your eagerness got the better of you + you marked them, shame on you lol.

 

[Gobsheene]

FINALLY!

Wheels back on, just need to add the centre caps and give the car a good clean polish and get the tyres slicked!

Got the car lowered the same all round with the shorter drop links but i've a feeling i might need to go shorter!

Next plan is 25mm spacers for the rear and 15mm for the front. Think i'll wait a few months for it though

Very pleased with how they've turned out tbh!

Looking well dude

 

[tomah]

Love these wee cars, and yours is looking really tidy, Niall.

One thing, though. Get those tyres dressed!

 

[Gobsheene]

It'll happen tomah don't worry! Entire car needs cleaned, doesn't show in the pics but its covered in soot from granny driving all week!

 

[Bilal]

Wheels are brill colour

 

[Jordy]

Love it....

 

[Lyons]

Perfect!

I wonder what it would look like with the door pillars wrapped black?

 

[Boydie]

I agree with Lyons - door pillars and for once I am suggestings a cupra r splitter.

 

[Gobsheene]

I've got some vinyl left from the grill left always intended on it but never got around to it!

 

[Gobsheene]

I am suggestings a cupra r splitter.

Hell no, they're on every one in the mainland and i'd not be arsed trying to fit another one.

I hate it on them. I's like a splitter all the same, just not that one.

If I could find something like this on a STi it'd be elected.
