Just kidding of course; but in all seriousness this is my mum's car - a 2006 Skoda Fabia VRS 130 PD in silver, 10,000 on the clock and wasn't even due a service when she picked her up...

Re: Bluefox's other "project" - 2006 Fabia VRS

Anyway, obviously first thing to do was a full main dealer service. Thanks again to Autosales, Cannock.

That's about it really. I've fitted a Nokia hands-free kit in there, but other than that she's totally standard.

First up, Mic:

...then some trim removal...

...installing wires. Had to make a makeshift tool...

...which was just a, er, garden cane. Worked well though!
Complete the wiring:

...only thing I've not done so far is connect the telephone mute wire as I ran out of time. Simple job for some other time though.
Anyway, just the Brodit mount remained to be fitted...



...et voila!


I'll keep this upto date, but to be honest we've nothing really planned for this as mum's not as much of a "girl racer" as she used to be

Few problems to fix as well, namely a seemingly leaky rear window (tailgate) and swapping the front tyres to the back.

More to follow soon!
