Modding over the years...

[Stu B]

Someone said to me recently what did your car look like when you first bought it... That got me thinking.....

So here goes,

Approx 1 week old (Circa Aug 2000)

Skip a year or two years...

Skip a few more years...

Thoses wheels had to go, didnt they....

Looking familar...

Bang up to date....

So peeps how did yours start... and current/end up like.. When I stop and think, mine started as an S TDi 90bhp, so its come a fair way....

wheels have made that final touch

 

[gavthelad]

i see it on the rollers in the last, pic, what did it get?

 

[bigjode]

started off life like this:

When i bought it looked like this (albeit with std MY03 wheel, I bought the LCR wheels in the 1st week) (1 year ago)

Now it looks like this: (since December)

Not as much as had been previously thought Hence Downpipes are next to be change

bigjode - nice improvement....... Anyone else care to share their pics...

stu - so come on tell all.. what was it?!!

big jode - what model was it orignially?

stu - so come on tell all.. what was it?!!

120bhp - 30bp gain, had hoped it was more.... seeing when I originally had it (stock) it whipped a 110bhp tdi se. - I guess it was down to the torque difference...
But improved down pipes should allow it to breath better from the turbo

then a 6 month driving ban accumulating parts

nothing for a couple of years ... then had a little bump which necessitated the CupraR bumper

Much better now (not that I'm proud of my actions)

im really liking these toledos im seeing with the lcr bumper.

well this is mine not long after i bought it, completely standard:

then fitted the H&R kit after 6 months or so:

then another few months later came the wheels (nice and clean ha ha):

and after nearly exactly a year, now with the lcr splitter:

 

[TllEWL]

Those wheels just make the Ibiza


Where's the siggy style picture at the bottom taken ? That's awesome (I assume subtly photoshopped ??)

 

[R953 VSE]

i took it at peterhead harbour, the thing behind the car is a net reel off a fishing boat i think, it was massive!

yeah the colour of the car has been emphasised and the background is black and white.
