Well, got a Cupra rear bumper sorted out - should have that on in the next couple of weeks.
Good to hear mate!! Finally!
You get your tyres yet?

Despite the rain today I fitted my new Cupra rear bumper... I'm really happy with the look of it but the colour match is ever so slightly out - as per usual.
I'm toying with the idea of a respray but might leave that until next year.
The exhaust needs re-aligned, you can see from this photo how much it is out from where it should be.
So what I'm not sure about now is, should I debadge the back or not? I am going to fit the genuine TDI badges under the indicators so people would still know what model it is ... I don't like the big "IBIZA" badge on the boot and want to stay clear of it looking like a run of the mill facelift model where possible - If I did go with the big IBIZA badge though itwould look different with black instead of chrome? Hmm...

Very nice indeed! A comparison picture would should the transformation off more!
Give it a quick wash when the weather gets better and take some all round pics
Exhaust needs some autosol!
Looking good

Thanks... the exhaust is filthy, I have some Meguires NXT waiting to clear it up but I'll wait until its all lined up perfectly.
I'd have fitted a short plate at the back the same as I have done at the front, but there are two holes in the bumper where the previous owned had screwed his plates on.
Heres a comparison photo.

Thats a big improvement how much did the bumper set you back? Think it's Coilovers for me next though!
Chris - I actually hate you.
They look SO good!
LoL! They do indeed.
The bumper cost me £150 delivered with the lower diffuser part... I paid another £6.50 for a set of reflectors for it.
How is the weather down there now? It's sunshine here at the moment!

The weather...clouds are making way for blue Sky's and sunshine atm

Was going to give the car a clay and full clean but my wheels would only just get covered in break dust

Looking good Chris! Nice to see that you have put the plate the right way up too
Can't believe the sun is out now considering I have been out and about in the pouring rain today!

Chris how come you didn't go to your mate who done your front bumper cheap?
I got mine done my the same guy as Scott and it was £100 for the front with a great colour match

Less of that about the plate you!
The weathers got a lot better now, hopefully it keeps up tomorrow (It's meant to) and I can do my oil and filter change.
I did mate, I meant to go to that guy too... Scott was telling me at the cruise in Irvine.
We'll see what happens next year with a respray, my friends brother runs a bodyshop up in Glasgow and said he would do a full down rub, prime, spray and laquer for a good price so I might consider that.

Quelle couleur?
Think Chris is going for the same colour but have all the panels match and look a lot better.
Alex
Ah oui oui.
Didn't know if he wanted a new colour. Most people seem to go for white now. Just wondered if he wanted owt different.
