Finished cleaning it, new number plate bulbs, new dipped beams and new wipers. Driving this morning and watching the beaded water sheet off was immense
People think im crazy getting excited over beading, but watching water just run so smoothly down the line of a car is so satisfying
Victoria Concurs Wax, incase anyone is wondering

Yea, my car beads like that and I've done absolutely nothing with it bar washing it since I bought a year ago...

That looks like beading from Autoglym Lifeshine/supaguard (dealer applied) to me.
Get some decent wax and/or Sonax on there. Works great.
the reflections are nice too... I think I used a bit too much but you live and learn.

Frozen beading is where it's at.
Also the tyre dressing was beading on top of the tyre earlier, this could leave an odd pattern when it dries...

Very exciting stuff!
Changed the windscreen wipers and fitted some car mats
Another Fabia owner here. Wipers any good, if so what are they? My Bosch AeroTwins have just about worn out after 6 years so I could do with replacing them.

That moment of relief when you start investingating a metallic scraping bearing noise on your Westfield and it turns out to just need a new £30 waterpump! Phew.
