LCR splitter fitted

Here it is folks... Spent an hour or two fitting the splitter this afternoon. Had to chop the middle Vs down a bit and trim some off the ends but I think it looks good. Bit of guess work getting it equal both sides too! :)

Will it fit?

Should I sell it?

Bit of a dilemma folks... I test drove a Fabia Vrs this AM and I was impressed to be honest! The vast improved MPG I would get is a big factor also! This is the Fabia LINK.

Should I sell the FR and how much cash should I ask for a private sale? (Dealer said £4k-ish trade in :cry:)

What are your thoughts folks?

i think in the current climate petrols cars are hard to sell. i personally love the diesels and they save you so much money long term. the fabia looks nice and clean a little high millage for a 06. are the dealer willing to drop the price any more?

Only by £100 or so he said! I'm just concerned about how much I will get for mine (or how little as the case may be!)

well maybe get it up on a site or two and see if you get much interest. did the dealer say if there was much interest on the VRS?

As already mentioned mate, its very hard to sell a turbo petrol cat ATM. I would hang fire for now unless the sales man can come up with a better offer for your's..

I guess your right! I have worked out I could save £700 a year on fuel and tax. More with cheaper insurance probably. I was thinking if he could close the gap to £1k then it would be worth it!

I personally much prefer the look of the facelift FR to the vRS (are you considering facelift FR TDIs?). They just look a lot more sporty and make the vRS look a bit bland.

Plus you can swap over some of the mods that you've done to your current FR. But as Damo said, i'd wait a few months to see if the car market picks up.

I do like facelift Ibizas! Maybe your right, I should wait for a bit. It is tempting though! :whistle:
