I did enjoy the shove in the back tho, very nice lazy power. I think I'd like it even more with a remapped car (around 180bhp in the Fabia?).

With a remap you can achieve 200bhp which really makes the car shift and the brakes are excellent (AP Racing 4 pot 312mm) so all in all its quite a good car, if you can put up with the interior!

Likewise if your dealer was to go bust, you would be left in no mans land....
I'm also quite confident that Skoda do not know of Wing's claims.
By all means modify them, but be under no illusion you are taking a risk on warranty.

.And I didn't redline it at all tbh, dunno what was up with that.

If anyone's interested and looking for a Fabia vRS, i've just put mine in the Autotrader this morning. Basically been offered a pool car from work, so i want to get another (cheaper) Impreza again as a fun/weekend car.
It's a Jan 2005 registered Fabia vRS PD130 in met silver, was only delivered to me on 8th Jan 2005 and has only done 1710 miles since then. Immaculate condition, it's always garaged when not being used. Tax till Jan 2006, main dealer warranty/AA cover till Jan 2008. Aircon, ASR, ABS, Airbags, Cat 1 alarm/immob.
Here's a pic taken this morning:
More pictures available on request.
£11,750 ovno. Drop me a PM if you're interested.
