Fabia I The Dark Knight

[Orta]

Here it is the day I bought. Sometime in December 2007. In the background you can see from previous chariot Peugeot 306 DTurbo!

The Fabia can ready with Octavia vRS badging, MK2 Fabia lettering, tinting windows, the OZs, a remap, mesh lower grille, and various problems...

Did a mini photoshoot one afternoon. Thought I'd get the black-white theme out of my system before my mate sold his Supertouring (He gets through cars like I change underwear)

First mod was a humble vRS centre piece

Next came a set cover

Which has since ripped!! A few months passed and money was taken up by SWMBO, buying a house, then hitting a pheasant (And subsequent new headlight, and foglight, and foglight surround). Next up was to get it dyno'd

Quite pleased with BHP, but a little disappointed with torq.

Next was a holiday to Inverness with SWMBO

Next came cupra splitter...

Next up were tinting my rear lights...

And the finished article...

It needed a clean at this point!! I've done more, will get pics up soonish

How did you tint the lights?

[Brimma]

Hate to say it, but aren't those front windows just a tad too dark ?

[Baker21]

Am I the only one that can't see the pics?

Got stopped and fined for them the other day. Safe to say they're now removed and I bought a pair of sunglasses. Rendering my vision as tinted as before, but now theives can see inside my car and it gets very hot when it's paked in the sun. :thumbdwn:

I tinted my lights using a "tinting spray" (just type it in2 eBay) It was suprisingly easy!

to behonest any tint on the front is illegal mate as standard glass just goes through 70% wich is the legal limit:thumbup:

They allowed 35% of light through. It never really occured to me before. I bought the car with the windows tinted and I knew the fronts had to let more light in than the rears and as my fronts were slightly less tinted than the rears I presumed they were at the legal limit. :rotz: I was wrong!!

Latest mod fitted today:

Only £9 each, which makes them a bit of a bargain in my opinion. Managed to chip some black paint of my sprayed grill in the process tho :thumbdwn: so next mod is respraying it!!

badges look great on the car! is the rear one stuck over the original?

[Orta]

Thanks mate!!

No, I took the old one off, this new badges curves flat on back... looks a treat!

[Orta]

Well after a few bad scrapes my splitter was removed for my trip to the Nurburgring. 1500 miles later, I've reattached it and gave the old girl a good clean:

Give PastyBoy a PM on here - I recently got some custom badges off him and they look the dogs

[DBP]

I like the airbag emblem, how much effort was it to put that on?

Watch out for the fuzz with those tinted rear cluster as you are legally supposed to have reflectors on the rear of your car ( which are built into the lamp) by spraying them you obscure the reflectors. They look good thou nice furby : D
