Fabia RS Pics

[BrashDaniels]

About 2 minutes in MS Paint.

I can confirm that it really starts with "1E".

Oh dear I missed that one altogether. Photographer wife will get a good laugh. She likes the look too, but enjoys the current trimmed down decal look on mine.

Will post a new pic or three tomorrow.

One of my other plates.

Tried to put the hood dampers in - What? TORX-ey type screws/bolts? - Not in my toolbox....

Had to settle for putting in new NARVA Arctic Blue +50's no more yellow low beam.




Deleted the green checkerboard, SKODA badge, and Nurburgring decals, for a cleaner look.

I assume those are genuine plates?

I've got a cheap toolset from Supercheap Autos, a screwdriver with a whole range of different sockets and heads, including Torx-ey ones.

How long do those decals last? I'd imagine only a few years in decent condition.

Looks like I'll be headed back to super cheap. Been spending a bit of time there.

Yes they're my plates. Have been thinking of getting euro ones to fill the gap better, or maybe some sort of custom job like a Lakin...

I took the cheap decals off, they are only rated for two years. These ones are the digital vinyl. Supposed to last five to seven years but that might be generous.

Went in for the breather mod today. The car had used approx 2L in 8000km, which I thought was a touch high, despite VW's lenient guidelines. The dealer didn't quibble, ordered in the breather, installed it and topped up the oil.

I need to return in 1000km when they are going to drop the oil to see how much it has used. Hopefully, the breather won't make the issue worse, as it's only used approx 250ml in the last 1300km (mileage picked up while the part was ordered, and before I got around to dropping the car back in). My oil filler hole has been taped up, so I'm not supposed to touch it unless the yellow light comes on, but I can still monitor the dipstick.

If it works great. If it doesn't work (but the consumption is no worse), then so be it. Looks like I'll get a free oil change, so that's another possibility of a useful outcome.

Hood dampness? No, I did not get any dampness..... I got dampers, as in gas struts.
Did your predictive text have a moment?
