Gave her a wash, polish and wax today. Also took off the rear Cupra badge and sorted the dent in the splitter. The paint hasn't faded as much under the cupra badge though :(

glad you took the cupra badge off, if you want a cupra badge, buy a cupra :lol:

I think Im going to leave the Seat and Ibiza badges on, as the paint fade is noticeable behind a 3/4 year old badge, whats it going to be like behind 9 year old original badges? :(

Change of plan again I think. Ive been thinking about timings of when I will get my 1ncb, MOT due, tax due etc, and as none of them are at the same time (tax end of april, NCB begining of june, MOT begining of july), also the timing of when I will have saved up enough for a mk4 Ibiza.

So I think it will get lowered now and possibly some Cupra wheels done gun metal/black :D Sooo I shall be keeping an eye out for some Cupra suspension and some cheap lowering springs, get them all bolted together, then the swap can be done quickly, same with wheels, also standards can be kept for when I sell her!

Happy days! (well not in the wallet anyway)

Get some brasso for the exhaust. I used that on the exhaust of mine on Sunday and it came up a treat.

Like the car mate, will look good once its lowered.

Only had a quick go today with some bug and tar remover, will keep trying. I might see if I can unhook the back box, just to give a bit more room for cleaning it

Ill just use what ever I find on the shelf in the garage!

Ibiza125, I do drive it, got a bit of a thrashing last week. Just down the road from where the last pics where taken, theres an awesome 3 or 4corners which you can see ahead so you can really commit in them :D

Small update,

Gave her a wash today, did a little bit of claying, but it wasnt bringing off much so I gave up. Need to get some decent tar remover though

I also used a Meg's drying towel for the first time today and its amazing! Literally took me about 5mins to dry the car (about 15 with a chamois) and only had to wring it out once! Well impressed :)
