my silver mk3 ibiza

been on this site a while now , thought id start myself one of theese threads,

i started off with a mk3 vw golf wich i loved but it was too old and everyday seemed to have a new problem wrong with it, this is wot put me on to the seat ibiza, they are good reliable VAG cars but they are very modern looking and seem to be able to keep up nicely with modern cars

my old mk3 golf:

firstly heres how i bought the car, it is a vreg 1.4s with 70,000 on the clock, came with aftermarket alloy wheels and cd changer in boot,
i paid £1400 for it

i then drove the car as it was in theese pics for around 6months and the engine went bang,

so my friend fitted a new engine wich i sourced from a breakers yard along with loads of other new parts,


i then took it to a bodyshop and had the split in the rear bumper plastic welded and smoothed and the whole of the front and rear bumpers were resprayed and fully colour coded,


along with fitting the following:

cupra alloys,
cupra shocks with lowered springs,
cupra rear spoiler,
aero wiperblades,
GB badge number plates,
de-badged boot,
de-wipered boot

heres how it looks now

very good effort there mate, i think it needs lowerin a little more at the back then it will look even better, can you get some pics up of the colour coded front bumper as i have the same bumper on my 1.6 but it aint colour coded :)

i will get some pics up later today of the front end,

i know the car still sits a little high, but the thing is it is solid and handles really well round corners, u can literally chuck it into a corner and get get pretty much zero body roll,

it is lowered on cupra shocks with lowered springs but i think that it would be lower with the lowered spprings on my standard shocks as the cupra shocks sit a little higher to make up for the wait of a cupra,

is ur car lowere on standard shocks with 40mm springs???

might have to put my standard shocks back on
