looks good the coilovers should go more at the rear?? than 25mm! 25mm wouldnt drop the rear anything!

lcr splitter really would finish it off tho at the front

oh and the rubbing will be where the wing joints the bumper the wheel sheild has a corner of plastic that sticks out if you cut or belt sand this down it HELPS but dont go too far or the metal wing will be the contact and goodbye to tyres :p

The car is lowered just how I wanted it to be! At the back, the coilovers are at their lowest setting, and at the front there is another 1cm left to lower, but it's as low as I want it now.
I'm probably getting the rubbing sorted tomorrow and then I can really try out the difference...;)
O, and got Cupra bushes...

Rash - the back end dropped perfectly, so I actually don't care what is says in the papers! :clap:

I'll stop by the dealer tomorrow and order the splitter (or buy it if they have it in stock).


Thanks for the compliments on the car guys!


Here are some day time pictures taken:






On the last 2 pics you can see how low it is, and anything lower than that would really be murder for the car on our roads!


Edit: got this link from a friend to help with the rubbing! http://www.ibiza-forum.de/thread.php?threadid=30752&sid=

That cover is on its way, should be here during this week...

I didn't have the chance to try out the handling because of the rubbing..

Don't have the strut brace... yet.. ;)

Not sure I'd do that, after reading other peoples findings. Thats the main reason I am fitting the facelift FR bumper and not the Cupra item.

The FMIC will be on the car by summer, I hope...:)

Asked at my dealers for trouble with the SMIC, and they said that it shouldn't be a problem. And I don't feel any difference than before...:shrug:


Yesterday I bought 15mm spacers for the rear end, and today I had the splitter mounted and the rubbing sorted out...

Looks nice, but I can see day light under the splitter. I am going to stay FR, should make the car easier to sell when the time comes.

PD160 intake definately next on the list, I got the green today. :)

Yup, there's a little gap between the splitter and the bumper... This is the best that we could fix it on the bumper because the bumper is lower at the sides than it is on the middle.

Didn't notice it on the pictures I've seen so far with the splitter, but now I know it's there, I noticed it on the same pictures...:)
