Candy White Ibiza FR - more BBS Wheels!

[Scott-o]

Just reading through the thread. Really nice car.
Been thinking about getting hids for a while but will definately go for them now after seeing yours.
I notice you car always looks clean! I have a red one and the back of it gets stinking so quickly since I've had it remapped. Cant imagine what its like with the white FR

Thankyou Yeh the hids are an awesome mod, got them in the week i bought it pretty much, old car had them and i loved the look they gave. And really appreciate the clean comment, glad someone has noticed how clean it always is haha working away at the moment, only home weekends and it still gets cleaned twice a week! Just finished doing it now

What insurance company are you with? im 19 and pay £2000 for mine fully comp, only 1 year ncb like...

With bell, im 20 now and it ended up been just under 1000, thats fully comp with business cover and any other car tpft etc just trying to build up my no claims! I live in a pretty low risk area though to be honest and we have a garage and all that that it obviously lives in every night

Ouch!!! So there are benefits to me being older...insurance!!! lol

keep forgetting your an old wrinkley chino

its a nice car mate

thanks very much

Looking good, some great pictures there!

Thanks, hopefully more to come, would have some nice wheels next month but obviously when i have money spare for some its xmas typical haha

They seem pretty good but i have heard bad stories from when you try get stuff done on warranty, ive pretty much voided mine on most parts of the car now though haha

Didnt really screw them as such, got about 800 knocked off what they were asking as i paid it off in one lump cash sum, they wouldnt chuck tax in or anything though even tried SELLING me an autoglym care kit that you got free with brand new cars, the cheek!

Only update i have managed really is that i tinted my front fogs yellow today, seen it done on a few oem / euro styled mk5 gti golfs in white and also an s3.

Also wanted to try out this tinting film for lights on something small, rather than wasting 50 quid on all the red stuff to do my all red rear lights, only to find i couldnt work it etc.

The stuff seems pretty good, just waiting for it to cure to the glass for a couple of days before i polish it up and refit. Ill try get some pictures tomorrow. I am currently running around with no fogs in, think it looks quite good actually :S also realized how much one of the fogs restricts the side mounted intercooler :O

Hi scotty Found your thread, just had a read through, looking good!

Get some pics up of these fogs asap! Will definately have to meet up very soon, need to get a little photoshoot on the go

 

[Chino_UK]

agreed Scott, the fog virtually covers the sidemounts airfeed. Was running 30-40degree intake temps on sidemount, its never usually over 14degrees now on front mount.

Glad you took my advice, this forum is awesome, if someone on this site doesnt know something about the cars on here, its generally not worth knowing haha

Fitted the fogs back in today, looks pretty good if i do say so myself! and deffos, cant wait till you get your lcr, back from leeds on friday, will have to have a meet up over the weekend! Get them bots ordered

yeh it doesnt half, theres only a tiny scoop directing it to the intercooler, the fogs blocks off anything in direct flow! Got them back in now like didnt notice any decrease in performance. Think once i have the other bits and bats done (bushes, tyres, tracking, maybe new wheels) i fancy a turboback milltek or a seat sport front mount.

 

[Chino_UK]

I noticed a really nice difference when I got the downpipe on, already had catback...feels a bit more torque'y with the FMIC but think itll be when its mapped it makes the difference, hoe that helps u pick

 

[Scott-o]

yeh think itl be the exhaust tbh, probs only get the front mount if i run into extra money and go further with the engine but probs not haha cheers for the help!

 

[knight85]

i have milltek cat-back but will be getting the downpipe soon....but also want to lower....how far have you lowered yours? i have seen a good deal on some 50mm springs and shocks

 

[Scott-o]

not too sure how far down tbh, id say quite allot! I regretted just getting 45mm springs like, wish id just have gone for coilies straight away.

standard :|

Springs

Now

 

[knight85]

aye looks good, im thinking the 55mm drop will be ok then

 

[Scott-o]

itl probably lower more on the front like, reckon mine lowered about 60 on just the springs cos of he heavy engine haha

did you get resonated or non resonated. Think ill get the resonated then the decat downpipe.

 

[knight85]

yea got non-res cat-back,

will ge tthe turbo back in time as well, not sure which to do first though,

 

[Scott-o]

Ordering a new private plate tonight hopefully, never intended to get one but came a ccross a goodun for cheap and parents were stuck what to get me for xmas!

Cars booked in at the weekend to get the cupra solid bushes fitted, then new tyres and geo set-up, then once the plate is on just gonna leave it and save awhile haha

 

[Gravesie-363]

You wont be saving up

Come through to my work on saturday if you want Scott, probably gunna have the LCR cleaning it up nicely

 

[Scott-o]

Will do if i get time matey, bushes are getting done in the morning, then im picking it up after work, getting tyres fitted then hopefully going back to work to get the geo sorted! So i will if i get done in time, if not i will weekend after

 

[Gravesie-363]

[Scott-o]
