Skoda Fabia Estate 'vRS'

WW_VRS · 02-03-2008, 13:30

Little update - frustration struck today, the Koni FSD replacement is the wrong one

Gonna swap the new wheels on though

Basil · 02-03-2008, 14:13

minor setback matey - let's see how good the new 17's look then....

Bas

WW_VRS · 03-03-2008, 12:04

Taken a pic, car is dirty but look good on there, just needs those Eibachs on there to get it to look 'right' properly though.

Thanks to Col for the quick wheels swap we did yesterday! Nice to meet you

cheezemonkhai · 03-03-2008, 12:29

You've taken the pic... but have you got it up yet

Glad to see this is making progress. I think you should come to WSM as there will be plenty of VRS fabia there and I'm sure you can get a couple of bumpers in the boot of the estate

WW_VRS · 03-03-2008, 12:41

Cant post it from here, need the cable that is at home

- wont be able to make WSM though.

JKM's Katie is on the case for the Koni FSD, fingers crossed we can get something sorted sharpish as I want to get to get mine done so I can store the OEM stuff in the loft & clear the space

Allard sent the EGR delete pipe too

- got a buyer for the vRS wheels lined up already, which will get shot of those again

WW_VRS · 04-03-2008, 01:23

Wheels on the estate

If that doesnt work, please use the 'project journal II' link in the first post, then go to page 2 within that to find it..

Please note the car is quite dirty in that picture, did a few too many miles that weekend..

cheezemonkhai · 04-03-2008, 13:11

Hmm undecided, Will have to see how it looks when lowered for me.

Still good progress

Tom_vRS · 04-03-2008, 13:29

Hmm, they don't look as good as I thought the would

Lowering will help x10 though of course!

WW_VRS · 04-03-2008, 13:46

It looks like it is on stilts at the front right now, rear isnt too bad. Once lowered it should look a lot nicer, it was the same for the S3 wheels I had on there before.

IIRC it will drop 40mm roughly with the Eibachs as compared to standard, unlike the vRS which is already lower by 15mm initially

Basil · 04-03-2008, 14:16

Wheels look great matey - can only imagine how they will look after your FSD/Eibach fitting.

Really really excellent! well done

Bas

smstext · 04-03-2008, 20:22

just need a slight tint to the windows and a roof spoiler mate

looks good!!

**mannyo** · 04-03-2008, 20:28

Looks good but needs to be lower.

WW_VRS · 04-03-2008, 20:34

Must admit I cant wait until the Koni FSD comes in, 4 cm lower will sort it

Wardy · 04-03-2008, 21:46

Like the idea and can only back up the need to get that new suspension on

Anyway, I'm probably biased. I liked them so much I fitted a set to my first vRS

Must say though, I prefer the normal Audi caps left on them. I know what a pain it can be to try and get something else to fit, but I don't think just having them black works very well.

Steve

cheezemonkhai · 05-03-2008, 03:38

How about antraciting the wheels?

Either that or somethign just fill and respray the audi centres so they are blank.

L-Y-K · 14-03-2008, 23:25

mmm furby vrs estate

looking good mate!

WW_VRS · 04-10-2008, 18:46
