Such a nice colour! Would have prefered it as a 3 door though... Then it will have been stunning in my eyes.

Fair play though, still like it!

lol if you read my old threads there was a time in which I wanted to weld rear doors...
!!!
And maybe I'll do it one day LOL

so today was the day the car should come again on the road, but after some minutes I started it there was a fuel smell in the air: the hose that go to injector was broken (and seat doesn't sell it since 1997!). Now I fixed it, I hope today I can finally drive the car. I suggest everyone to check the two hoses that go to injectors it seems that after some years they can be damaged...

PS: yes I know I need wheels!!

yes man you're right I need the repeaters too. I'd like the Cupra Wheels like yours but they're VERY hard to find here in Italy and right now for stupid Italian laws I can only have 14" under my car. I need to do a long and hard homologation's process to have car's documents updated to install 16" wheels so I can't imagine when I'll do this

14" is alright dude, need to lower it tho... low profile tyres and your away... be raspy off the mark but youl lose top end speed... may knock your speedo out abit tho.. if not, go motorsport wheels with normal size tyres as they can pull the look off

can you get the clear repeaters in italy?

ok I don't know who sayed post-lift rear bumper was a direct fit but it is not a so perfect direct fit LOL I need to cut a lot of my frame to have a decent fitment (and I'm still not 100% satisfied..)
and yes I need a decent exhuast tip I know

on top you only have two bolts of the three needs
you need to buy the two side brackets to keep it on
you need to cut lower frame
you need to drill holes to the two bolts on the lower side
you need to re-locate your exhaust tip that will touch on the bumper
and it will still not fit right in the wheel arches...!

oh and it is also a good idea to buy that crash bar that is included in the prefacelift bumper but not in the postfacelift bumper or as soon someone will hit you in the back you'll find his car just rear your seats LOL

So I went to breakers looking for 8v spoiler and side skirt. I didn't find the 8v spoiler I was looking for but I found the cupra one, I took it, I'm a bit undecided if put it on or not. I also took the red part rear the trunk, the one where is the Seat logo and the "seat""ibiza" decals. Mine was black and I can't believe the big difference the red does!

Definately an amazing transformation ! From a potentially ratty ibiza to something utterly stunning. That colour is gorgeous :D and I might add thats a really tidy respray you had done. I will be keeping an eye on this thread :D

well I had to work on them a bit to fit on stock holes but they fit just nice, there are a lot of wire for leds and angel eyes so better to spend a bit of time to have them fixed somewhere so they not hanging in engine bay but I'm satisfied, they totally change the look of the car
