Fabia Hydraulic Bonnet Lifter Kits Group Buy

[devonutopia]

If anyone fancies a silver one I have one wrapped up here ready from someone who had to pull out. Also, I can bring these to TRAX so you save p&p, and also to the Newbury meet in August. At both events, I will fit these for free. Also applies to the Czech trip too.

How hard are these to fit mate do they need any drilling?

[ultra_joel88]

is this the m8 spline we need?

Ko-Ken M8 1/2"Drive SPLINE BIT Impact Socket on eBay Hand Tools, Garage Equipment Tools, Cars, Parts Vehicles (item 160133308456 end time 30-Jul-07 16:49:33 BST)

Hello - no drilling required. Just undo three bolts, fit, re-do up three bolts, and fit the ball joints to the bracket on the bonnet. If it takes anyone more than 10 minutes to fit, I would be surprised.

And that is the right fitting for undoing the M8 spline on the slam panel. I just have a standard M8 bit, which I either use in my 1/4" socket set, or can be turned with a 10mm spanner as well.

Thank you. Possibly picking up a vRS on Wednesday so will probably place an order fairly soon after hehe

This isn't a deal where it's a "have" or "have not" - It's like ordering from a shop. You order, you pay, it gets made, it gets sent. The deal is always open to members. See the first post for more info (direct link to it in my sig)

Sorry nope - this has been finely fettled to fit the contours of the fabia only.

RACE BLUE is now a valid option as a colour. Pretty sure they ordered in some race blue especially for one order, so it's now a colour option.

Other non vRS options are matt silver and a glossy matt black - or can even prime coat only, to allow you to use your own paint choice.

Thank F*** for that! I was getting worried on MSN last night when you said you'd not got it yet!

Hope all goes well.

Still have a metallic silver one ready to go RIGHT NOW if someone wants it.

[Robshaw]

- No problems... Glad to have one

cheers Jason - Many thanks!

Don't forget about this chaps.

[WW_VRS]

Jason surely you can offer any colour now with your recent colour coding skillz

[devonutopia]

I would need new paint to provide anything other than vRS skoda colours, or the matt black & silver. Plus. I'm not the one actually making them.

[devonutopia]

Well, they're still going out - odd one here and there. Now have race blue as an official colour to offer. As well as all the other vRS colours. Can also supply in just primer if you wish to add your own colour to it.

[devonutopia]

have been keeping this off-topic due to needing some new metalwork, which has been a royal pain in the backside. However, it's in - All orders are now up to date, and more orders can be taken and processed faster.

i may see if i can sort the gas lift ( strut) from work. Do they have any part numbers on them at all? or a NM pressure?
As the dont fit on the Mk4 ibiza i may try to adapt one to make them fit

These are stock oem fabia boot lifters - part number on them is 6Y0 827 550 C.

To adapt one might be tricky - I would sooner see how the ibiza wing/slam panel area works first. Also, attaching to the bonnet would be a pain in the *** without that riveted in L shaped bit the fabia comes with.... You might need to mock up an L-shaped bit, then attach it to the bonnet using three or four VERY short self tapping screws.
