Is it possible to get these fitted to the fabias? How come it wasn't done from factory? For cheapness?

Any help/pictures would be appreciated.

Ask devonutopia - he has some for the MK1 which could fit the MK2...

Could? Easy job? :-)

Possible with a small piece of metal ear as adapter

Milotec sells them

Cheers 32kof.

I reckon they could be produced cheaper domestically, but I've not enquried about doing a template kit like the fabia 1 kit. I know the fabia 2 resulting kit would be cheaper as there's no need to fabricate an entire new bracket - just a piece of 90 degree angle plate.

this something you can get hold of or know more about devon/?

I wish. I could approach the people who make the fabia 1 brackets, but I would need a donor fabia 2 car, which is a tricky thing to manage.

As in to borrow it for a certain amount of time?

Just spoke to them and there is one in for some repair work now. Just might be great timing after all.....

Good good

Keep us updated!

Could be interesting.

Thank you devonutopia.

Sadly the car went back to customer before any template could be taken. If anyone in the Newton Abbot/south Devon area has a fabia 2 and they want a free kit made (as a template), let me know

I dont mind popping down for the day/weekend pending on how long it'd be?

devonutopia?

I reckon it's just a show-off thing or am I missing something here?

That and being lazy.

The amount of times us vRS owners need to check our oil it may well be worth it

Plus the arm for holding the bonnet up is bloody hot if the engine has just been running!

how far did we get with this guys? interested to know if some will be made and if so how much ?

why would you need one unless you open the bonnet everyday and it's not that heavy
