My Red Rocket

[K1NGY]

After having the Fabia for around a month now and getting used to some decent power in my life ive started to mod her (only small bits so far) but there are some bigger and better plans on the way

but to start off i gave it a good clean
Oh these are all iphone photos :dead:

Then i opted for the "open mouth" front bumper style its hit and miss with some people but i relly like it
Oh and that hole will be getting filled with something

And just recently i did abit of paint and sprayed the inner insert of the lights and the grill surround. both really simple jobs and give the front end a meaner look imo

Thats it so far !
Plans for after my holiday are going to be
- machine polish
- coils
- Alloy respray (black maybe a very dark grey)
- New tyres ! (maybe some T1R's or something abit different? whats the new craze?)
- Remap
- Intercooler ....?

looks good ive always liked these,

go for eibach proline springs will compliment that car better than coilies

probably black wheels to tie in with the grill and get mirrors done at the same time.

defiantly get a remap, thats not enough power for that engine, i pulled away from one the other day and it couldn't catch back up

 

[Bluebeard]

Sorry, but unless you're running some serious power, that bumper looks terrible. Looks like a 1990's Escort from Revs magazine.

 

[Knuckles]

Love it

 

[GRitch]

Why do people continually ruin these? I like the sound of the other plans but that bumper, along with that grille just looks shocking. I don't understand the trend of ruining these.

lol, I remember that trend for doing the bumper chop. Looked utter shite even back then!

They look much more tidy when left alone. My mate had his re-mapped and destroyed two turbos, although possibly something to do with red-lining it from cold in winter...

 

[Bluebeard]

I had one on my orion. But the continous ridicule from my father made me go back to standard.

 

[MarcoB]

It's what my rsturbo will be sporting soon

I hope since then you've taken him to the pub, bought him a pint and said dad this is for that Orion bumper.

Needs a CD on the fan...

 

[Tez.]

I've never driven on but they look so boring .

i have a mate who has done the same but with the golf,

 

[Infamous Nikko]

This could work...

 

[K1NGY]

The bumpers very hit and miss with alot of people, but a friend of mine who has just got one just like this has got his number plate recess still on and i just dont like it.

People do seem to go through alot of turbo's on these! But that down to driving like a bell
Updates will come thick and fast

I had this on my red 90spec 3i




The door handles and bump strips need colour coding, but looks tidy

 

[Djw John]

Neighbour has this, pretty nice but seems to have lost the love for it recently, his gf has an ek9 with red bits!

 

[Gally]

Yeah it's certainly not looking as tidy as it once was. I'll need to offer to clean it for him.

 

[Toby]

Needs lows to pull that bumper off.

 

[K1NGY]

Lows will be come soon enough.
Just trying to find an intercooler at the right price

 

[Scrooge]

Needs remap, hybrid/gtb turbo, firas injectors, mufflectoromy, FMIC, upgraded boost pipes and a remap then maybe that bumper will work.

 

[Poopensharten]

Unusual in red these, i kind of like them. However the majority of them are driven by absolute arse pirates up my way, sadly.

 

[Englebert]

As Scrooge and others have said, you need mental mods to pull off the bumper. Should have done that last; frankly it looks ridiculous.

I find it odd that people would buy a Skoda VRS, for its subtleness, only to try to turn it into the opposite. Why not just start off with an in-yer-face car to begin with?

 

[Gaz.]

Front end looks shocking now. Basically 2 of my pet hates, offset plates and standard bumpers cut open into a massive gape.

 

[Dunn]

where is this red rocket we speak of?

 

[rollerdan]

My mate has a red fabia vrs ! Nice cars his is on lowz has a full turbo back miltek exhaust sounds nuts .

Heres a pic

 

[K1NGY]

My mate has a red fabia vrs ! Nice cars his is on lowz has a full turbo back miltek exhaust sounds nuts

Thats really nice, the full turbo back is what i was aiming to get, Its the best option for a vrs

Well for the haters an intercooler will fill the gap soon enough so calm down. My car not yours

 

[rollerdan]

ye mate the exhaust does sound good makes a cool whsitling noise when changing gears ! he had his mapped but it it kept breaking down became very unreliable with a remap ! was damn fast thom

 

[.GAZ.]

where is this red rocket we speak of?

:lolup:

Quite frankly, you've ruined a perfectly good little car.

 

[Ian_182]

Im not happy looking at that bumper but the shot of that show car with a different looking bumper at the bottom looks better.

To me they are pretty ugly cars so it will be hard to convince me.I can however understand the potential they have for being quick little cars.

 

[Scrooge]

What kept breaking when your friend remapped his?

 

[RDH]

I like these but that front bumper is laughable.
