luggage nets

In the mail
new aerial - white alloy Simoni Racing
Carbon fibre DSG paddles
Stainless footrest to match existing pedals
Seat belt pads for SKODA
Airbag replacement decal that isnt painted on the bloody visor

Aiming for a stage II minimum.

From memory it was a dealer display car and they were happy to remove the stickers but the owner wanted them left on to stand out?

Nice one mate! Good to see more Polo GTI brethren about I think the stickers look ok... But you should get a tune so the performance matches the talk

In Europe, The Fabia is a VERY successful Rally vehicle. in many IRC/ERC, Czech and Regional Rallies, the Skoda sweeps the field of individual, team, and manufacturer trophies.

The dealer put the decals on as part advertising, part rally eye candy. I got them on the car as a sweetener when buying the car as an ex-demo, with a mere 3500 km on the clock.

and besides.... who wants to look like everyone else anyway?

Oh I am definitely planning a tune... I have never owned a turbo car before, so taking my time picking the right gear.
REMAP : - maybe racechip.de (Ultimate 2) or just go APR or BSR Stage II ....we'll see,

Personally i would go with a company that has local support (APR, viezu, custom code etc)

When you say "as a sweetener" does that mean you payed less for the car cause it had those stickers on it?

Sorry to be blunt, but I'm not a fan at all of all the stickers. Obviously its not my car so it doesn't matter,I just hope you didn't have to pay more to have your awesome little car graffitied.

Yep as they say "less is more"

Seeing this one whizz around for our drive on the weekend it actually works really well, stands out from all the other white/silver/grey cars out and about.

Yes. I paid well under the MSRP. I agree, sometimes the stickers are a bit much.
The dealer said the foils will probably get a little ratty in a year or two, so I might take some off to streamline the look at some point.

A clean look might prevent unwanted attention too. I'll wait till the novelty wears off and see how I feel.

Thanks for that. The wife might come next time for some pro shots and some video of my own. Looking forward to some happy laps, either back at Lakeside, or over at QR.
