Right since ive been on here for a while i still hadnt done one of these so i think i best add one to show you all whats going on with my ibiza and the planed mods in the future...

its moving along when i get the time and the cash although its my daily driver aswell so cant afford to have it off the road for weeks hope you all like it...

got it as standard although most of the picturs are on mu mobile so will get them up when i get them off it...

First mods were forge 007p and tip, pipercross filter and custom cat-back exhaust...

Then i sorted out a coldside kit for the d/v which i then changed to a turbosmart one aswell and fitted a jetex filter with an alloy elbow to bring it closer to the wing...

The car looking sweet dude, good effort. Should keep the standard rims and get them power-coated matt black and some coilovers for a nice healthy drop. Keep the good work up man!

Looking really nice there mate, progress is coming along very well. Its the best colour of course:p

How do you find the AP coilovers? Initially i liked mine, but now i find them very bouncy when coming in and out of corners at speed.

Keep up the good work:)

looks good,shame the hoses arnt all the same colour though ie the tip and tb hose.

Cheers mate...I was going to go all red but couldnt get hold of red T piece etc when i needed it. the inlet mani is going black (with a twist) aswell so should blend in nice

Ya the AP's are good got a few more rattles since fitting thoough due to the firmer ride and the s**t road surface.

Looks tidy, i bet money you got the 'black' high temp spray from motor serve for the rocker...?
Thanks.
Got the paint from Halfrauds acctuly hammerite mat black came out a little bit charcoal when it dried but i like it...

I love the rear end of a mk3 cupra.. Especially with the oval exhaust tip.. Looks better than the the twin round tips..
Car looks awesome dude, the mirrors dont particuraly float my boat, but each to their own mate..

Quick update on my car.

Been playing with the carbon fibre stuff from 3M today so covered a few bits... had a bit of trouble with the handles so had to try and splice a bit onto it, it shows more in the photos then in the flesh because of the flash.
Let me know what you think...
