Another update! Never done so much work on the car over 2 days!
New front discs fitted!And yes, the wheels and car need a good clean!
And still to do over the next couple of days, ive got a new oem intercooler as the mountings on the other are broken and also have a rear strut brace to fit.
Also found out yesterday there are a couple of holes in the air intake pipe that seem to have appeared after rubbing on a clamp. So have ordered a new pipe. So that'll be fitted asap when it arrives.
Thanks for looking.

Next update!
Fitted the new intercooler this afternoon, The old one with busted clips and mounts
New one fitted with the mounts intact
Whilst the arch liner was out i did a little "pikey" mod to get more cool air passing through and around the Intercooler
So out came the Dremel and..........
And fitted back in the arch
Also fitted the rear strut brace in place aswell
Cut the carpet to neaten it all up
And added a sticker! 
Thanks for looking

Another update!
Went upto Shark Performance in Mansfield today for the remap! After finding out my Fabia was already mapped by an unknown company, and it having a bit of an agressive map (boost and torque wise) i had a shark map uplaoded to the ecu. It now feels alot smoother on and off boost and seems to pull more progressively in my opinion. Figures before were 149bhp with 310ft/lb of torque with 1.8psi of boost and are now 168.8bhp and 295ft/lb of torque with 1.8psi of boost. Although the torque figure has dropped slightly (i chose this as the standard clutch is good for 300ft/lb of torque and no more) the power is alot more useable and pulls noticeably better through all 6 gears. So all in all, im really happy with the new map.
Thanks for looking

Should have painted the non contact surfaces of the disc in silver Hammerite. Keeps them looking brand new and stops them corroding.

Another small update. Managed to get hold of some number plate surrounds and fitted them. Im not sold on the front one as it sticks out a bit too much for my liking but like the rear one.
Thanks for looking
