Hey guys, had my little beast 1.4 Seat Ibiza S(super)/cool for just over a year now and ive had some much mechanical work done to it i thought my baby wouldnt pass its MOT but it flew through and now im hoping to rectifiy some of the little niggles and keep it for another year.... basically these are what either need to do or would like to do:-

The heating is DEAD, basically have no heating ever so the winter was VERY cold.

Either fit a cd playing head unit into the current dash or a CD changer in the boot.

colour code the front and rear bumper along with the wing mirrors.

preferably upgrade the whole sound system in there too.

:D so if you have any super tips id be gratefull

thanks guys

Welcome along.
Use the search facility.

Theres at least 1 thread every 2 weeks about upgrading the sound system ?
Whats wrong with the current ? Surely you have a CD changer as standard.

CC is easy, you will find the code underneath the carpet in the boot. ( dont forget door handles )
You may be interested in black B pillar vinyl too :)

subs etc aint that hard to do really all thats needed is power remote and grounding really

but if you really dont no what your doing i would advise going to a pro...(not halfords)...to avoid any unwanted fire etc that could happen...

lol true I try not to shop there however needed some screenwash and when I came out there was a 2008 nissan qasqui in the "fitting bay" (gazebo) and the owner was complaning about the airbag light being on after work was done! Why would halfords touch on 08 car 99% of the vehicle would be in warrenty anyway:whistle:
