First of all, I say mine... I've bought nothing .. yet!

I am leaning heavily towards a (candy)white seat ibiza SC [not sure of the engine yet, most likely the diesel.. but we'll see]. Anyway I'm goiong for the tinted windows with it and i have a question (or two)...

How dark is the tinting of the windows? are all the windows tinted?

As far as alloys are concerned, I'm thinking balck or red.. or maybe some black ones with a red rim. Does anyone think that completely red ones would be too much?

Cheers,
Cyph

i'm almost certain it is now illegal to have the front 2 windows and the winscreen tinted at all.
you get a light tint on the rear windows and the rear windscreen
i am also getting a white seat ibiza but mines a 1.4 5 door

I'd seen that on these forums, but when i phoned about a test drive the guy said "we cand rive a 1.9TDi if you want" so unless they ahve some demo's and the new ones aren't available right now or something, not sure... Willing to wait tho, i think the diesel is probably the best of the current line up of engines.

Good choice, I've gone for the white with dark tinted windows too. I've got the tints on my current Leon (came as standard), its only on the back door and hatch windows and it stops you glancing in at the back seats. If you get close to the window you can just about make out the interior (depends on whether you got the sun behind you as well). From the inside, it doesn't seem much darker, you can see a difference by comparing to the front door windows though.

Is there a mark 5 seat gallery on here somewhere? I'd like some 'real world' pics of the new ibizas (preferably the SC)

Sounds like the tints might be worth it.

What about these Alloys?

motorsportworld.co.uk/framefix.asp?ProductCode=AW0177&PID=851427

On a white ibiza?.. or maybe a Black Ibiza?

yay or neigh?

I think they look pretty cool, but they might be a bit much? hopefully not chavy!!!

Tweedz, there's nothing wrong with the seat alloys.. i just didn't think the silver would look good with a white car... maybe go metalic black+tints+17s ??

Alex i'm not kidding i still think the red wheels are cool! I already have a corsa... tempted! :p ;) (that was a joke btw.)

Canonman.. when you say better do you mean better looking? or actually a better alloy wheel? (i know very little about car related 'stuff' electrical/electronics is my thing)

thanks for the input, that's why i asked the question [and noone gave a wishywashy your car your choice thing :D]

Cheers,

they had some in my seat showroom.
they were the same price as the normal 17's
come to think of it. black with black would look really cool and stealth like.
