I'm with Sky Insurance. They beat my last quote from Adrian Flux by a small margin.

Does the Scangauge measure boost ? That would be nice...

No it doesn't measure boost.... I have a boost gauge for that. It measures lots of other info though!

27th September update

Been MOTd today. Sailed through with only headlights needing adjusting a bit!
Bloke at the test centre said "Done a bit to her haven't you!" We had a good chat about cars for a bit before I left too. Got a few funny looks for the bonnet bra and tow-eye Tigger!

No mods recently. Just enjoying the car as it is. Some changes ahead anyway!

Does get some funny looks. I like it when people pull up behind you at some lights and you see their reaction!

Its a bit of a shame not doing any mods for a bit. You're selling up I see!

 

[mazzerati]

yer i usually get a few pointing and laughing

is there anything you want to do to it mate?

yer, shame really, i need speed im fed up of putting my foot down and nothing happening. :/

 

[Gooner_Mike]

Not sure really. There are some mods I would like to do in an ideal world but not sure how long I will have this car for. My annual mileage is 20k and with the new baby, I'm considering all options when it comes to saving a bit of cash! Petrol is an obvious one. My wife might also be getting a company car when she goes back to work in the new year.

Ideal list of mods would be (probably in order to....):
Paint rear calipers to match fronts
Black vinyl roof
Forge TIP
FMIC
Downpipe and highflow cat
Stage 2 remap


And that's about it really.

Next mod ordered....
Haven't spent much on the Ibiza recently so decided to order something to freshen it up a bit.

[Gooner_Mike]

smaller front plate?

Yes, you were reading Luke's RR thread too! I was inspired... found a site and got one ordered.

What size did you go for

 

[Gooner_Mike]

What size did you go for

12"x3" looked the best size really. Might just use it for "shows"....

 

[cupra.al]

ive been wanting one since i saw the plate in morks clio thread his is 520x84 or 20x3 in inches so standard length smaller width.

Hey where did you get the symmetrical fog light? looks a lot cleaner than clear on left and red on right

Its a Euro spec light cluster and I got it from a SCN member local to me.
Best place to look would be German ebay probably!

You just put a red bulb in the rear fog then Mike? Does it light up brighter than the other rear lights? So tempted to do it to mine but don't fancy losing the fog haha! Could do with some super bright bulb or something...

Yep, got a red bulb in there! You can get LED bulbs from ebay for good money. Will probably get one of those in the coming weeks as the bulb us going a bit pink. Passed its MOT last week with no problems (although the bloke did mention it turning a bit pink!)

Latest update!

Well, got round to fitting my small plate today. Got some black vinyl and covered the old number plate recess first. Going to smooth the screw holes at some point (you can see them at the edge of the vinyl) Stuck new plate to the vinyl. We will see how long it is before I get pulled by the fuzz. Not sure if I like it yet. Might try it without the black vinyl 9but then you can see the screw holes!)

And a couple of stickers I forgot I had..... I have placed the other one on the outside of the car somewhere. Any guesses where?

 

[Ibiza 130 tdi]

Not sure if I like that mod Mike! Looks good on the LCR's but......i dunno!

Fair shout for trying something different though!

I like it mike - back to work in the morning
