|  Skoda Fabia Estate 'vRS' Project pics: Wiebo Westerhof's Photos - Fabia Estate 'vRS' project journal I | Facebook Wiebo Westerhof's Photos - Fabia Estate 'vRS' project journal II | Facebook Recipe: 1 Skoda Fabia vRS that has been involved in cat C write off but has some nice stuff on it (see members cars) 1 Skoda Fabia Estate Comfort spec that will be used as a shell  So far the only thing fitted is the Blueflame exhaust system, which has an EGT sensor hole (custom) and I've heat wrapped the downpipe. Also the chrome exhaust part has been cut off to make it fit properly in 'stealth'. More progress reports as time allows & progress happens. Completed fitting of Blueflame on 16th of Feb 2008 Completed fitting of rear ARB & bonnet lifter on 17th of Feb

| Re: Skoda Fabia Estate 'vRS' Will post a pic of the car soonish, currently it's pretty much 'empty' normal estate, just with Blueflame and that's hidden, I guess you can see the vRS wheels though

| Re: Skoda Fabia Estate 'vRS' Today fitted the bonnet lifter, had to attack one of the bolts a bit as it was not behaving itself. Also refitted the Jabbasport rear ARB - what a pain to get those brackets refitted, but it got there in the end Was nice to see you guys

| Re: Skoda Fabia Estate 'vRS' What colour is the Estate? I assume it's getting VRS bumpers , but will they have to be painted to match the car. Now if you want to be *really* impressive you'll need to copy the interior that was shown on the concept VRS estate a while back

| Re: Skoda Fabia Estate 'vRS' I dont think it will have a vRS bumper, but some bits and pieces will happen to it to make it a little special over time. I have to be near zero-budget on everything I do, due to lack of any spare cash. So far, managing to salvage/re-use bits from my old car, or sell some extra bits off to save the money. Bengie has been good as gold with letting my car stay on his drive for all this time, can't thank him enough for it

| Re: Skoda Fabia Estate 'vRS' If you find me one that's the right colour and is free - otherwise it's gonna stay zero-budget as much as possible..

| Re: Skoda Fabia Estate 'vRS' Well it will start off with 201bhp as that's what the hardware did before I had the crash. However as I will have the Allard EGR removal + one of Basil's special pipes to the Forge FMIC, I am hoping it will keep the power nice and stable. Will see how it goes, but it should 'go' pretty well

| Re: Skoda Fabia Estate 'vRS' Gonna be the Asus ones - got some interest in the original vRS 16" wheels + spare + tyre from a neighbour so should get near break-even on the cost straight away
