Have you now? colour coding? carbon fibre?

 

[suj]

nope, no one will guess/know until it is done

so whats next on your beast (minus the springs)?

 

[abhardwaj1990]

15mm spacers, sorting the rear door out, painting the plastics, exhaust etc.....

Then something else you'll see tomorrow

 

[suj]

yeah spacers would set it off

ohhhh surprises too wahooo

 

[abhardwaj1990]

Yeah I have 20mm's but with them fitted it scrubs to much (as I always have someone in the back lol) so swapping from some 15mms, hopefully wont be so much of a problem with them

 

[abhardwaj1990]

Today, did my roof

Applying the vinyl is harder than I thought it would be lol, a few small air bubbles which should settle out.
Mirrors will be going black tomorrow

 

[Gordz]

Looks really good mate

How was it to apply? Been thinking of doing this for a while now!

 

[abhardwaj1990]

Cheers dude

Its not easy, takes time and requires patience. But once its on it should last forever....and looks mint!

 

[Dan1.6]

it'd look better without the stripes on it though i were a little unsure of when you showed me the picture last night but the more i look at it the more you need to get rid of them

 

[Gordz]

Or you could carry a stripe over the roof, but in the red of your car could look interetsing!

Stripes are here to stay ......yeah it will look good without but will look bland, loads of people have whatever car with black roof, the stripes are something that looks different, and IMO good

That idea has crossed my mind, might give it a go

 

[Gordz]

Would be difficult to get the colour match spot on though I would have thought!

Gotta agree on the stripes makes it look like a barry boys car.
Ditch the the tacky lexus lights

Yeah it would lol, unless I cut the stripes out of the black roof

Gotta agree on the stripes makes it look like a barry boys car.

fair enough, that's your opinion....I made this car mine by doing what I think looks good.

And there is no lexis lights. They're original mk2 lights.

Arun i've always like the car mate, ever since i first saw it at the derby meet. But i gotta say i think the roof and the stripes are too much. One or the other for me.

But its your car and as long as you like it thats really all that counts, plus your doing a great job of keeping a pre facelift ibiza on the road - aint many now.

 

[abhardwaj1990]

Cheers man, I understand where your coming from, and have actually considered taking them off,
just that I don't appreciate someone calling my car a "barry boys" car, hence being a bit mardy lol

 

[CraigW]

The vinyl roof looks good mate. . Makes me even more tempted to do mine now. .

Going to try mine with a black petrol flap to see what that looks like.

I dont think it looks to bad with the stripes tbh. Its your car though and you make it how you want to and are happy with it so thats what counts in the end.

Fancy coming and doing my roof for me??

 

[OTNYSTU]

nice ride mate

 

[abhardwaj1990]

Cheers lads.

Craig, my vinyl's not applied amazingly as it was the first time I did something that big, a few creases and small air bubbles all over it, but today I did my mates for him and its gone on perfectly....so I'll be doing mine again
