Title: falecia rear lenses/ FABIA sunvisors!! niiiiice!
Post by: robjackson on 24 September 2012, 11:47

Just checking to see if any hatchback owners have done a swap to rear lenses from a skoda felicia.
They really are gorgous, and from first appearances look the same shape, and isnt the felicia basically a mk3 in different shaped panels and lighting?

Surely i cant be the first to suss this out!!!
I'v google-imaged both units and i must say it does look promising

Looking at both of them I doubt they will fit straight in to be honest.

There's quite a massive difference in shape between the two.
Anyway why on earth would you want to fit those to a Golf?  :undecided:

Standard GTI mk3 spec looks better than the Skoda ones.

A Felicia is just a reworked Favorit so before VAG days.
The lights have the same outline but there's no chance they'd fit, they have a concave shape so there'd be a gap between the tailgate and the light!

The lights have the same outline but there's no chance they'd fit, they are much flatter!

I thought they looked way cool,
Tinted, and just a bit diferent.
I also thought maybe the peeps on here might have the inside info on fitment. Just a thought.

Ok,if thats a crap idea, what about;
02 plate Skoda Fabia elongated sunvisors?
I'v just had mine off to trim them, so i know my way around them a little bit, and it looks to me that the skoda ones would be a direct replacement, and block out that annoying bit of blinding sunlight where the rear view mirror sits.
Amazing, yet GEEKTASTIC i know!!!!!

Any thughts?
