Were did you get the rear ARB Dom ? I've got a mate who's just got one of these for £3500 and I said I'd ask you about it for him.


Mine is a jabbasport rarb, but whiteline are good as well

Awesome interior! Love that! I'm getting a fabia in november I hope. Cheap to insure and reliable! Is yours remapped at all?

I was looking at an old Skoda Octavia 1.9 TDI, as a daily, but Aviva wanted about £1800 ish, I think. Insurance is a joke! >_<

Did you do all the seat work yourself and retrim the golf leather onto the fabia seats in the back? Can't get over how nice it is! I prefer worn leather to fresh leather. Don't know why though

I didn't but it isn't too difficult to do.
The pictures don't work anymore but its easy enough http://www.briskoda....-seats-a-guide/
As for the backs, donor seats were used (actually from a polo 9n3), disassembled and the mk3s grafted on to the bases.

Smug git. :lol:  My grandad was paying £400-£500 on an e46 330d saloon. It would cost me £1800 ish on the same car. O_O  >_<  Clearly some things DO get better with age.
