Skoda Fabia vr-s

No its not in the wrong section, the racecar stuff is going bye bye, this is going to be a tuner show car and not my usual stanced tuner. I'm not really into the modern rally cars so my plan when i bought this kit was always max power style show car. What this means is wild bodykit, too big wheels and lots of stereo equipment that can be read on the richter scale. I'm planning to do all this but with some modern parts like air suspension and more recent wheels as a set of 17s just isn't big enough for this. Luckily thanks to 3d printing getting an interior was as simple as taking one from Andrey bezrodney's audi s5 kit which is a little big but i'll be using the skoda panels as a guide to cut it down to size and their thick enough that i can just file the back side to get them fitting. Lucky for me the vw group cars have similar enough interiors to do this with. I'm leaning towards bright paint, possibly from hok, but it depends what colour i do the interior with orange currently top of the pile which might mean black paint instead. The wheels will be at least 20s with decently chunky tyres for a more aggresive look

and this is the sorta style i'm going for. In my mind its the tuner equivalent of a show rod

i'm using stretced sprue to fill the numerous holes in the interior pan. its also a short shot but its an easy enough fix, just takes time

Like your concept for this build.

Cool build mate!

I changed my mind on the wheels so i've gone for something a lot wilder and in a 22" flavour. the interior i also very close to fitting now just needing some material removed beside the rear seats. Next will be filling the boot with stereo and air then i can start on the chassis mods

I think this is going back in the box for a time. I've got someone thats going to teach me the basics of freecad so i think i want to try redoing the dash door panels to fit better once i start learning. I figure having something i'm aiming for with it will help me learn rather than just doing random stuff. I find having a goal helps me to learn better

Great looking interior and wide-body kit.
