Seats
Cheers Josh! I was like that when I saw them too! So much lighter than the Recaro's.
Fingers crossed mate. I'll give you a shout about popping over tomorrow.
After collecting my door handle trims from Ben last night, I attempted to fit my door cards today. After offering them up to the door it seemed something wasn't right. A few emails later, and it seems Performance Trim actually have two templates for the Ibiza, and pre and post facelift, as the handles are slightly different. The ones I received are pre-facelift, and I'm wanting post-facelift ones. Fingers crossed I should receive the new ones Tuesday next week and they'll be fitted on Thursday.
As you can see in the pictures, the cut out is made to have a door pull and latch, whereas I will only have the latch there. The shape of the handles are completely different.
So instead, I have continued to remove the sound deadening from the floor, and relocated my VEMS gauge to the pod on the dash. My boost gauge is now sitting with my oil temperature gauge where they'll be in the head unit conversion, and I've removed the centre console.

good work keep the updates coming

Thanks Gaz. I had the same with mine, but now I have a daily driver, not having the rear seats in this one isn't a problem. I'm going to have a look at the tow strap next week. I think the Mk2 and Mk3 Ibiza's are slightly different, as the Mk3 has a screw in tow eye, whereas the Mk2 has one fixed to the chassis. Should hopefully be a simple job though.
Yeah, even just taped on they look better than just the open frame work. They were really helpful about mine. I've just got to hand over the other ones to the courier when the deliver the new ones.
Pre-facelift ones would have been a good idea if you could get hold of some handles, grab handles part of the opener so no need for the extra pull strap.
Nice new additions anyway

I have these in my daily, but I'm not sure I like them and would prefer the extra pull strap.
All being well, the seats should be fitted this Sunday.
Update time.
My harnesses arrived on Tuesday and I'm really happy with them. The quality of the 3" ones is so much better than the previous 2" I had. My friend picked up some harness eye mounts for me today, and I will be collecting them tomorrow along with a new breather filter as mine has split.
I've also done a bit more work to the head unit situation. I've completely chopped up the facia and removed all the unwanted buttons. Where the tape player was, is now a massive hole, that I will be fibre glassing a DIN 3 gauge holder in to. I've stared fibre glassing over all the unwanted button holes today, and I have to say, it's fairly easy stuff to work with. The "toaster" box has been cut down, but needs to be moved up a touch, and then I have some re wiring to do so I can relocate some of the unwanted facia circuit board.
The Ibiza is now insured again, and worked out £52 cheaper than the renewal price I was quoted 2 months ago. Bonus.
Battery is on charge ready for the trip to Stu's on Sunday for some welding and seat fitting

Have you got around to fitting the tow loop yet mate??
If so, Im just wondering how you have fitted it.

Sexy!
Thanks Josh! They're such a snug fit.
Looks awesome!
Any shots of how you've mounted the side mounts of the seats to the car?
Cheers Phil. I haven't yet, but they'll be coming out again for painting at some point. F2 Stu has done all the welding for me. He's put two, 3mm thick, box section tubing across, and the seats are directly bolted onto that. A lot of people said bolting directly to the box section would crush it and it's need tabs welded on, but Stu has had his like this for years with no problems at all.
