Swoxy's Fabia SDI

Picked this up in May last year ...





Fitted my stereo and Nokia CK-7W ...





Never felt the need to change the speakers in my Lupo however the standard ones in the Fabia aren't as good. Had to drill out the rivets holding the old ones in place, fit Mk4 Golf speaker adaptors and butcher the wiring ...





Fitted some pressed plates, stickers and a new set of tyres. The car was still running on the original tyres and it's seven years old! ...













And added a set of aero wipers ...



That's it for now. I presume I'm not alone in my BRISKODA sticker falling off? I've had four cars in four years of driving and this is the longest I've ever kept one. I don't plan to modify it apart from adding a set of OEM wheels if I come across a good set. Cheers

Re: Swoxy's Fabia SDI

I think most Classics have air conditioning.
It was on jacks because the tyres were being changed.
I was looking for the 'Sprint' wheels on your car but have been unable to find a set

Looks like a really smart sensible motor. I wish I would grow up

Re: Swoxy's Fabia SDI

I replaced the power steering sensor today. It's needed changing for about six months. Skoda wanted £160 to supply and fit so I purchased the part from eBay for £50, borrowed some axle stands and followed the instructions on www.fabia-vrs.com. It was a bitch of a job and took me two hours but I've learned something and saved £110
