Mk1 Skoda Fabia VRS, a rare car indeed!

Good choice on the black car, really hides the soot marks from the filthy remaps

I do like them, I think they were very iconic of Skoda at the time, but a shame that they've now largely attracted a certain crowd.

Exactly, and that’s why I took time and effort to find the right car

Good to see it back in action and fixed.

Same, had one 2007-2012... Still have fond memories, great car. Looking at the MOT history it failed at the end of last year on just under 180k so probably met its end




I agree with the poor state of many now though. I don't see the point of mapping to silly power... They barely get the power down as standard FFS!

Marine Drive... As a kid I used to live in Wooly. Best mate still does. Gosh I miss the beach.

Thanks, now I’ve ironed the kinks out, time to enjoy it

Not much to report in Fabia land, daily beating, piling like a train yet getting astounding MPG.

Had a week off work so tackled a job I was dreading, changing the door speakers. Had enough of the farting sounds.
Pair of adapters from eBay, som Vibe drop in speakers, job done. And nothing broke surprisingly






Then fitted my favourite Rainsport 5s to replace the mismatched set that was on it, cleaned the wheels with Autoglyms excellent wheel cleaner

Not a lot to report on the Fabia, now my work has sort of relocated oop north its getting regular motoray trips, returning 54mpg regularly. I still need to do the cruise retrofit

Cruise would be worth it
