Smoothed Fabia vRS - Huxley

[joe_vrs_tdi]

looking good mate really impressed with the small touches to the spoiler etc, like how you could keep the standard lower grill too.

p.s. this would look epic with some air ride suspension sitting the sump on the floor

[Huxley vRS]

It would but I aint paying air prices lol.

[joe_vrs_tdi]

yer i know it is abit steep haha, always wanted a nice audi estate to smooth and put on air ride....we can all dream hey

[Huxley vRS]

Yeah mate. TBH I think it will look great once I have the adjusters out the rear but would be nice have air so I can knowing I wont smash my sump off!

[Huxley vRS]

Fabia don't picture well, looks good in the metal so to speak.

[TimVRS12]

Love it, ad will love it even more when the grill is black!

Get some pics up to show off that bumper!

[Huxley vRS]

I'll get my girlfriend do a photo shoot as soon as the weather allows.

Looks very good

[luke90_vrs]

Liking the upgrades also

[Huxley vRS]

Hang about I've just had an idea...

Taking the rubbish out earlier I spotted an old broke ladder I am yet to take the tip.

Then my cogs started turning and I set about removing what I wanted.

Bit of measuring and an hammer.

Took another bit I needed.

Just started charging the drill, can anyone guess where this is going?

reg plate holder for the square plate?. . .:-P

[Huxley vRS]

:p In one. Save me £15 on eBay! lol

[Huxley vRS]

Drill is charged so...

Then a bit of sanding.

Don't think this drill bit was designed for drilling alloy lol.

Go find some nuts and bolts now so I can see where to mount the plate on the bracket.

[TimVRS12]

Nice mate!

I made similar ones for my polo, they secured to the lower grill, could do the same? Or from underneath the bumper? You offsetting it to one side?

[Huxley vRS]

Yeah mounting to the grill to one side.

[Huxley vRS]

Slight break in the production line that is the gym.

Anyways found some nuts and bolts altho they are a little on the small side but will do for now.

[Huxley vRS]

And if your worried about weight it's 67 grams lol, not that I am trying save on weight haha.

[Huxley vRS]

Mounted.

It's on the car now but its too dark for pictures and it needs a little tweek.

[Huxley vRS]

Bumper kinda makes it look wonky but it isn't. It sits nicely.

I need to work on getting polish out of my swage lines lol.

[TimVRS12]

Top work man, looks great!

Plate relocation is never an easy thing, and a reason why I'd be hesitant to smooth the front bumper, but you've probably done it the best way short of OEM position.

[Huxley vRS]

Yeah tbh I love the fabia front bumpers as standard but I wanted a different look so smoothing it was but then of course you either stick a number plate on the visor which personally I think looks bodged or remount it and I think US size plate to one side is a nice daily set up and easily removed for meets and shows.

[TimVRS12]

It's illegal to have it in the windscreen, had to be front most point of your car, so you've done it right by avoiding that one!

[Huxley vRS]

Yeah altho my plate isnt legal I think its more acceptable than most.

Two of my friends and my girlfriend included run their number plates in the window (visor) my girlfriend for over 2 years, she has never been stopped about it lol. I think police are fairly ok around here with modified cars, they realise we arent a priority.

Random pic I just took of my poochie
