Head lamp protectors??

:no: But maybe one for the future....

you are the Ebay king - what have you got then I hate waiting

:bleh: Wait and see. Rememeber: two mods to guess!

Hmmm, this another edition of "Guess Gooner Mike's Mods"? (I could work for The Sun with titles like that :cartman:)

:lol: "Mike in ebay cheapo mod shocker!" :cartman: I like to keep you all guessing anyway... two mods to guess this time.

Cheers mate! I am going to keep the rub strips black as they fit in with the "grey and black" colour scheme I am going for.


:think: Do we want clues then folks? Two mods to guess.... One is definately going on the car as soon as it arrives. The other is sat in my garage and I'm undecided....

Diesel Engine ;)

Car looks really smart, comes up very well when it was washed. I need to do mine now, been 2 weeks now!

How easy was the fog to remove, looks easy enough? I need to take mine out at some point.

Rear light tint? Sun shades? Number plate surround? Wheel nut covers?...

I've no idea to be honest!

:no: None of those...

Nope, not a diesel engine. :wtf: The fogs were mega-easy to remove. Just pop off the small bit of trim and undo two screws. Unconnect the cable and voila! I did it to get a bit more air directly to the SMIC and I think it looks pretty good too.

312mm break conversion and rear coilover setup??

Could be on to something there Altech... ;)

headlight protectors?

Nope, but maybe a future mod.... :whistle:

im guessing wind deflectors and newsouth power gasket or fmic.

edit~another guess arm rest.

Most guesses wrong cupra.al but.... YES, I have purchased some Heko wind deflectors from ebay. Will get some pics up as soon as I have received and fitted them!


:think: Any guesses on the second mod then? They are currently sat in my garage....

Oi! What's wrong with a diesel engine :blink:

And I've been considering wind deflectors for a while now, but still unsure how about they'll look. Seen some chavs with them and they look awful. But seen some cars on here and they look great. So still undecided! :shrug:

Is your other mod a bubble machine that blows bubbles out the exhaust (can you tell I was watching Pimp My Ride on some random channel in the early hours of this morning? :whistle:)

Complete coilover setup??

:yes: I have picked up some FK coilovers...
Now, I have seen one or two bad things about them on here but they seem OK. The springs need a rub down and a lick of paint but the shocks seem to be fine. No leaks, rattles or suspect movement from them! The adjustable collars seem to be stuck but I have yet to "attack" them with any force. Not sure what to do; I could get them fitted as they are, but I have no idea how low they will be at the front on their current position. :shrug:

What model FK's are they? I've got FK Konigsports fitted to mine. Ride comfort isn't the best but the drop they give is great.

A good soak in WD40 should free up the adjusters. If they're really stuck you could attach both 'C' spanners...get someone to hold one of them, then give the other spanner a whack with a hammer and that should knock it free

:confused: Not sure what FKs they are TBH... another cheapo ebay bargain I found! Will attack the adjusters next week. The Ibiza FR ride isn't the most comfy anyway, so not sure what to expect with these. Bought them mainly to get the arse down...

If your not going to attack the adjusters till next week then just give them a squirt of WD40 every few hours while your in the house, it should be enought to free them up mate :)
