hey everyone just thought I'd pop my head in and say hello, got my ibiza a couple of weeks ago and loving it to bits (even thought it's non cupra)
Yep insurance is a bitch, cheapest I got quoted was 1500 (i've already got points) then went to a broker who sorted it out significantly cheaper, no idea how and don't want to find out

Nah I wasn't sorry mate, I was working! lol.
And wouldn't have been me coz my wheels aren't smart, well possibly from a distance, but up close you can see they're all corroded and peeling, they're awful!!!!!!!

£384 inclusive of all mods, fully comp too!
joys of being older than the rest of this lot hey adam
im only 22, im younger than you
but yes it is nice being older with more experiance
Isn't just age, is all about no claims etc. My mate passed similar time to me, hasn't made a claim or anything and had his own insurance since day 1 of driving, and now has 2years no claims and pays something like 600 quid fully comp for a 206 gti and is only 19!!!!

but older you are, more chance of no claims
I'm 23, and have 5 years NCB, plus Pass Plus. 4 years is usually classed as "full no claims", really noticed the difference this year once I hit 5 tho

Does that pass plus actually make any difference? I remember when i looked into it my insurers at the time said they'd knock off £20 and that was it!!! So wasn't worth getting really I thought!

Oh yeah adam i fitted the cupra lights, they look sweet, haven't actually done the clips yet they're just kind of supported by the bumper...but i think i'll probably end up making my own ones or cannibalising the old lights...
Get paid in a few days so i'm planning what to get next, think I might get some light tints and light eyebrows, I saw some really nice ones that give it a Leon-ish sort of look..
And then I'm getting lots of rattle cans for colour coding!!!

A not so great pic of my latest and most expensive mod!
And before you say it. I'm aware it now looks as high as a Land Rover lol. I'll sort that out some time!
I've also got a question. In that pic I've bolted on the wheels with the bolts from my standard 1.4 wheels. They seem to fit perfectly and nice and tight so I'm guessing they're ok, but I thought I'd check here first. I've put the standard ones back on now though, as I don't have any locking wheel nuts yet!
But whenever I get some side skirts and get it lowered I think it's gonna look really well!

Lol yeh it definetly needs lowered. Also just noticed that I'm able to time travel, as according to my camera I took that photo tomorrow!
I got around about £200 back for my pass plus. But your only meant to use it for your first year of driving after it Matt Saying that I still use it!
I've lost count of how many times we've all said how much we're paying for our insurance! I'm paying £1100 for my 1.6 with 6 points on my lisence! The points put it up £50!! Lesson today? Go to Norwich Union if you have convictions! :thumps up:

Anyone able to answer this?
As I was saying above, I've used the bolts from my original wheels on my new SEAT Sport Super T's
Now I remember reading somewhere that aftermarket wheels need new bolts. But these are
half breeds lol, made by OZ Racing, but off a Cupra R
I've tried them on and they seem to fit perfectly and nice and tight so I'm guessing they're ok, but I thought I'd check here first.
In the mean time I've put the standard ones back on now though, as I don't have any locking wheel nuts yet and I also dont wan't them to fall off if the bolts are not right.

Ones that have a very confusing looking key! Standard bolts will be fine. The only time you will need different bolts if there is no chamfer to the bolt.
