No, you're asking us to tell you exactly what to do.
All I'm asking is which wires you think you should be connecting to.

No, fair guess.
Yeah, you need switched live & a neutral from the ceiling.
No tricks, just wondered what you were thinking, that's all!!

Basically you connect your fan across the lamp in the bathroom. Thats the neutral (blue or black) and the live (brown or red).
