| If its a Fabia 1. Eibach springs 2. Find yourself a good second hand set of 312mm brakes Have a search on both subjects. And welcome.

| I would recommend getting a green cotton air filter, cupra intake pipe before going for a remap as it has better results. Other than that (depending how big you budget is) *milltek exhaust * Wheels * Eibachs * Strut brace NOTE:- Strut brace and intake can be taken stright from a seat ibiza cupra. Can be ordered directly from seat dealer. Alex P.S Anyone have any idea of what audible difference obtained from a green cotton and intake?

| Hello and welcome! Keep it standard, it will be worth more as it will be the only one not mod'd Have a search in the Fabia Forum for more info. Give it time to let the engine bed in. After that it depends on how big your pockets are
