You Know You have a mk2 Ibiza When........

[CraigW]

you know you have a mk2 when the poxy central locking packs up and you have zilch petrol and can't get the fuel flap open,arrrrgh!

Behind the carpet in the boot on the drivers side, strip it back until you can see the central locking pump and there should be abit of white string/lace, if you pull that it pulls the pin down that holds the petrol cap shut.

And hopefully it should open. .

Oh and it may be worth pulling it through the vent type holes in the carpet and leaving it there, just incase.

managed to ping the flap using the old screwdriver covered in latex trick as too dark to see bugger all in the boot properly,cheers for the heads up though,nothing like a fumble in the dark on a cold evening

good work Woody,looks like a good match as well on the paint

Thats a really good job mate. Perfect colour match aswell. I cant get a good colour match on my Alpine White Ibiza.

come n do mine when you're done you had a respray on yours as it doesn't look faded from those pics?

 

[woody1986]

lol!! i didnt have a respray but i think it has had one in the past cos like you say theres no fading what so ever or laquer peel and there are bits of overspray on the grill and the splitter!

Thats where I got my paint from but it still isnt a good match.

Did you use laquer aswell?

 

[woody1986]

na it's already in the paint just neaded a few coats to get a bit of a shine then hopefully t-cut will do the rest!!

 

[beezertart]

think i'll get you to spray my wing in after some :w4nk: dinged it and likely to need a new one

 

[woody1986]

thats what im worried about now! now iv got rid of the rust someone dinging it!!

 

[beezertart]

mine was a magically appeared whilst at work kinda ding so can't even hit anyone up for the cost will have to wait though as all my dollar is being ploughed into Thumper at the mo bring on the xmas bonus!

 

[woody1986]

there the worst especially if no-one owns up:w4nk:

 

[beezertart]

yeah could be a lot worse i guess but still bloody annoying as its noticable and has popped the bumper off a bit,job for the warmer weather me thinks...

Really?? I didnt know that, I always thought you needed laquer aswell.

 

[woody1986]

well it depends on the paint code. some dont need laquar and some do. i asked the bird who made it in halfords about mine and she said its fine without!!

Alright, I will do that the next time I get a tin made up.

Im guessing the Alpine White has the laquer in it too because when Ive put laquer on top of the paint its totally changed colour.

 

[woody1986]

did you use a clear lacquar?
