Like the pictures! :thumbup:

I saw a white Ibiza a while ago. On English plates and it was a few years old! didn't know they made them white back then. It only looked like a 1.2 or something cos only had wheel trims and stuff. :confused:

Yea...I thought Candy White was only available in the FR/Cupra?!

Obviously not anymore, definately was when I ordered mine though!!

When I was in spain there was a lot of them though lol. Maybe it was an import?! lol

I noticed this too on holidays. Spain is crawling with white cars. White must be a popular colour over there. I think I can remember something from school about white reflecting light and heat!!?? Maybe white cars dont heat up as fast or something! :confused: Or mabye thats just me being stupid!! :doh:

Lol, who knows how he got it.

Yea, at least 50% of the cars were white! Maybe cause its the nicest non-metallic colour and theyre all cheapskates :D

Thats true - Black absorbs heat / sun the most :) So if your cold shove on a Black Tshirt :)

Your car looks great and cant wait to see the pics when you have done your mods to it.

Sorry to hear that! Look forward to seeing pics after you've had it lowered.
The arrival of my new car seems to be a lifetime away, 12 week factory order, feels more like 12 months :(

Just picked up my candy white fr with black alloys and its great love the looks of it.One thing I realised is that they paint the mirrors black to match the alloys instead silver and it also has the brushed aluminum interior trim which i prefer over the chrome.
Just need to get my flip key programmed and cut

Lowered etc...

Got the car lowered last night. Used -45mm Spax springs.

I know some of you will say it needs to go lower etc. But i'm really happy with it, and the springs haven't even really bedded in yet. The reason I just got new springs was because I couldnt afford coilovers just now, but I don't think I want to go any lower anyway, in my eyes it looks perfect :D

Other things I've done i the past few days:

Fitted Seat 'AUTO POPP" plate surrounds - got them from Dubmeister.
Fitted Climair Sport wind deflectors - didn't pay for them :)

Now the only things left to do are:

Get the rub strips done white.
Bonnet/Spoiler/Morrors done black.
Trip to a RR to see what the remap has pushed it to.

Think after theyre done the car will be lookin MINT. Maybe in a while I'll get some nice wide euro style rims and some window tints, but thats for when I save up a considerable amount of money again!
