You don't need a specialist to fit air. I did mine myself on the driveway.
If you can fit ICE and coilovers then you can fit air.

Maybe a future mod then 
In this situation though I would go for coilovers on a standard Fabia

Yeah i know a guy who fitted bags on his drive too. As for which to chose im not sure.
Bags look 'cool' i guess but its all just show and its expensive. Personally id go for coilovers and just wind them down to a suitable height.

I'd love an air set up but it would have to be hydros. Afaik they handle just as well if not better than a budget coilover set up. The price is massive tho. My coilovers cost just under £1200 all in including fitting and set up. You can get a decent air set up for that.

Static cars are cool as hell but personally if I was going to run mega lows I'd go for air ride all day long. Purely because you have massive amounts of adjustability. Don't have to worry about pulling bumpers off, cracking sumps, ruining arches etc. Coilovers are obviously the cheaper option and you can achieve mega lows but sooner or later it's going to get trashed just from being driven in general lol!
I still cannot believe your misses car
