Davey's vRS Project

Here is my Fab from day one to its current state.
Just 2 days after collection it was remapped by www.rapidremap.com
Day one in standard form (hours before collection):

The mods as they have happened:

Red TDI lettering just because i had 15 miins spare one day.


Shark fin aerial fitted, also fitted Alpine 2 way front speakers and Sony Xplod headunit with built in Bluetooth (no pics yet)
Two things really bugged me about the car in standard form. Firstly its ride height, and secondly the wheels.
After looking at hundreds of wheels and not liking any, i decided to powder coat them anthracite.
Ride height also dropped aprox 30mm on Eibachs.
Before:

After:


'Fabia' badge removed and rear lights tinted (they aren't as dark as the first pic makes you think):


Next up was to sandblast and colour code that horrendous looking chrome grill surround. Front splitter also fitted.
Before:



Finally i fitted new Discs and pads on the front.
EBC Discs, Ferodo DS2500 pads:



Some more mods to come in the near future, but for now thats everything covered
