Latest mod pictures...my hybrid Ibiza - now sold!

Good to know you think that, dread to think how some of the real cheapo ones look at the end of Winter then sometimes there is a reason they are more pricey then! Think I will pay the extra I have done everything else on the car to pretty high quality. Look forward to seeing how the headlining will look

It's interesting to see what the salt has done to your coilovers, they wern't exactly cheap were they! I wonder why FK don't paint the parts that you've painted?

What kind of paint did you use on your callipers? I need to paint my TT callipers soon and want to get the finish nice n glossy like yours

Yeh i know what you mean! They were meant to have a protective coating on them and I presume that is the layer that's now missing?

Tbh they probably would've been fine but with a whole load of salt still being on the road I thought I'd protect them but can't be arsed to be cleaning them every weekend. (

They were either £350 or £450 quid. Not totally sure to be honest.... But yeh, like I said, they were meant to be protective covered. I don't know why they don't paint them tbh. It'd be a good idea seeing how they weather! Cos they aren't a year old yet.... I'd dread to think what they'd look like with someone that never looks after their car!

I used engine lacquer fella! Not cheap but as you can see, dammed good finished!

Good stuff isn't it? You paint it on and you can see the brush marks, then it all just levels itself out! Cracking stuff! Thanks for the comment fella!

I TIHNK FR's are lower than the Sports as standard? And then the Cupra lower still? But yeh it certainly does! Because mine isn't slammed...

i like the caliper colour i was going to change mine from red to something like yours

Red Rum did his really bright yellow and that looks spot on too! Break away from the norm....

Mine used to be red.

In Halfords yes...

If you go to car shows they tend to sell if for £30-£40. But i get it for a tad cheaper than that. Trade prices ftw!

What do your parents think of your car?

What do your parents think of your car?

Tbh i dont really know! i know dad loves the power! And he said today it looks much better than theres with the spacers....

I don't honestly know the answer though. I think they like it, cos they bought one!

But tbh as long as I like it i dont mind.
