As I have now wombled around the forums a bit and gotten some really useful assistance, I though I should reward you all with some pics! Don't get your hopes up just yet though, as it really is rather basic at the mo [:|]
So, in all honesty, I was looking to get another Fabia vRS when I came across this. Sorry about that, but I do love my other one and thought it's probably best to stick to what you know! So, I was going to Plymouth to see a vRS, and thought I'd check out any other diesels in a 10 mile radius of where I was going and I came across this []
62000 miles, FSH, two owners, and as standard as they come. Sadly, no leather, SR or sports suspension, but it still won me over!
The car had been on a private plate, so I had to wait for a week while that was swapped back. I don't do patience, so was chuffed to bits when I got the call to say it was done. By the time I picked it up, I already had a shorter aerial and a K&N panel for it, so they were banged in straight away!
Weirdly, I have a thing about number plates. It's kinda like OCD. Can't stand old ones, have to have GB, and no damn screws through the characters! So, off the old ones came, and it had a good clean. I really think fresh plates can make a world of difference.
I used Autoglym shampoo, Meguiars clay, Super Resin and then Collinite. As I didn't have a lamb's wool mit to hand, I had to improvise [whistle]
Next on the 'to do list' was:
Get my bluetooth stereo in
Something with badges
Wind deflectors so I could smoke without drowning
This is all now sorted, but will have to post up later on today (been on call since 3am and now need sleep [|-)].)
Future plans are dropping it a bit, bigger wheels, mild tintage on the old windows and maybe the usual vents/sunnies/trim mods []
Any comments or suggestions are always welcome!
To be continued......
