My 2013 Fabia vRS

[PirelliAC]

Traded in my 2011 Fabia Monte Carlo for a 2013 Fabia vRS today. Got a really rare colour combo as it was a custom order someone pulled out of. So Far its great. Made sure that it wasn't the CAVE 1.4 Twincharged engine as in earlier versions of Fabia and Polo GTI that are renowned for excessive oil consumption and my 2013 is running the new CTHE version which is meant to have all issues sorted. Took it for a good hard drive to run it in (about 200kms) varying throttle and RPM.

Only Mod so far is K&N pod Filter and HID kit. Pod filter makes the supercharger and turbocharger loud which I'm not that big a fan of but it feels more free revving through the rev range. HID kit is great as I drive a lot at night and standard orange halogens are garbage.

KW V1 suspension arrived today from Larkspeed.com and will be installed this week at CVWC Tuggeranong. I have more mods planned. I'm not completely sold on the white roof so i'm thinking a carbon fibre vinyl wrap would be nice, and maybe partial bonnet and side mirrors also. I have 18x8 V20 rims from my Monte Carlo which I might put on from time to time, but i kind of like the white wheels even if there are slightly habibish.

"Only mods so far" on the day you bought it?

I like the white wheels, though I can't quite convince myself to do them on my white car. Maybe you could do something with the chrome grille surround. Maybe white or black?
