Mine seemed ok when I called them about 312" brakes and vRS springs/dampers so i'm just hoping they are going to be ok about the FMIC and Exhaust system i'm also planning.

It has a small cost attached to it but i'm not to bothered if all my mods put my premium up by 100 quid or so. I'll just make sure I have a damn good look for other quotes when renewal comes up.

I was with them last year and when I rang them I got the nice Welsh people in Cardiff? Perhaps things have changed

Just to Whet some appetites... heres a random pic...

the fmic has been on for over 10k miles now and it gets a 6 outta 5 rating for me.. (the top pipe is new, hence its clean LOL)

also, the welds will be neater on the production version, this is one of the modifications that were made to improve the clearance, theres a aircon bleed point just behind there.. the pipework doesnt touch it

faboka vrs · 09-09-2005, 10:42

Colin, Does it affect the toe eye?

Where's the toe in a fabia? AFAIK, It doesn't even have feet, let alone an eye
