| Briskodian | just doing the figures before I order a.... Hi all going for the following (ahem):- Fabia vRS in 'Magic Black'  ESP Side Aribags Passenger airbag deactivation switch Passenger seat height adjustment Currently unsure about a 'Third Rear Headrest' - never going to have 3 rear passengers! Not bothered about the Audio or sunroof options and I like my car to be like a fridge so heated seats have no place either! Would like the leather option but simply can't afford it - this is meant to be a budget motoring exercise for me anyhow! Will retro fit cruise control, looking to buy (RHD) black projector headlamps and HID kit. Have an Ibiza strut brace ready to go on and some buckled 17" HT3 alloys that need fixing before they go on! Have various tuning options in mind - but will bed the engine in first. And to top it all off with a rubber boot mat!  Looking forward to seeing 'you locals' around the Spalding / Peterborough area! |

 I don't think aftermarket hid kits can be as good as the sealed units but my friend can get the kits for £140 ish I think. After seeing them on his 'R' plate Corsa they look mint. Anybody that does know of a aftermarket kit that beats the manufacturers is welcome to tell me about it though. | |

| Re: just doing the figures before I order a.... Dont bother with ESP. Never needed it. Xenon I would say go for but they do point a little low but the dealer should be able to adjust them to point higher. Like already said get retro fitted at the factory. You can get other stuff like cup holders as well. As standard you only get one which is a little poo.

Its been in the press recently that ESP is as important as seat belts... Take that as you will but it basically just says it is an important safety feature... And for £300 who cares if you have never needed it? One day it may just save your life... Same with side airbags, why scrimp and save on safety features? My two pence... HTH
