Czech out my Skoda Fabia VRS

[Schnaffler]

So, with a baby on the way and after a hilarious attempt to get the pushchair in the boot of my Lupo GTI I had to make the sad decision to get something slightly larger. Sold the Lupo on ED38 and the buyer came this morning. By this afternoon I was the owner of a VRS! Gutted to lose the Lupo but loving the VRS already.

Here's the Lupo...

Al's already started on the modding, looking at a double DIN and wheel options. A new bumper with smoothed plate recess and lows are also planned.

You'll miss the lupo... Fantastic little car ..

Hope you enjoy the new ride

I Had a couple of Lupo's including a GTI and loved them. Also like the Fabia VRs's and the TDI is a real sleeper of a car.

Any performance mods planned?

I used to own a VRS in the same colour. Top car! Get it remapped mate it makes a massive difference!!

What's the score with the alloys??

[Schnaffler]

The alloys appear to be Audi A3 wheels. They're going anyway so it doesn't matter.

Good job that. Are you replacing with OE wheels?

Again, not sure yet. Got my eye on something and a wish list as long as my arm!

If you ever need any ideas I used to own a fabia vrs and loved it to bits. A cracking car and had it for 4 years. I only sold it to buy the Octy vrs. I had mine running on koni fsd dampers with eibach springs. I also had the superpro anti lift bushes installed by jabbasport. A jabbasportrear arb and a superpro solid torque mount bush. I had different air filters fitted but eventually settled for a definned standard airbox, k&n filter with a PD160 intake. I fitted the seat sport engine brace and had a chipboost remap. I left the brake discs standard and fitted uprated pads. I also had a  full milltek sports cat exhaust and the engine souned awesome. Pretty much left it as that as it was potent and handled well.

New wheels today (until something else catches my eye!    )

Rear offside was totally stuck on so ended up heading off to see the guys at FAB who had a hammer big enough and the brute strength to twat it off.

It's just screaming out for lows now though.

We just get the folded puchchair with wheels removed in the boot of the lupo but nothing else lol.  With the folded buggy we can  fit Winston in too 

Still a great motor in the Fabia

Looks 10x better on the new wheels. As you say though needs to come down just a touch, lol.

Is that the Special Edition leather seats....? The only thing i never liked about the Vrs was the white interior, thats much nicer.

[Schnaffler]

They were a dealer option apparently, everyone I've spoken to agrees that the white edged seats look pap. I've not seen a car with a clean interior in the white either. They stain horribly.

Looking good so far mate. As said could do with a tap with the lowering stick lol. I had a fabia before my gti. Hybrid turbo and the bag of mashings. I will try and find some pics for you and post them , if you dont mind that is.

Only just caught up with this! Good choice on the VRS. I have a soft spot for these as my wife was delivered safely to the Hospital in one of these when she was about to give birth to our 2nd Daughter!!

Can't tell you how many times she swore at me and told me to slow down though!! 

Love the wheels BTW! 

[gazon69]

Found a couple of pics of mine mate. Hope ya dont mind me posting them. Not v good quality.
