I'd at least get a facelift fr/cupra rear bumper, makes the back look loads better

Not really to fussed on the back bumper to be fair i dont mind it how it is, if anything id like to put FR honey comb grills in the front bumper to make it look alot tidier, but we'll see!

Why the obsession with "facelifting" the Ibiza? Looks good as it is pal! :D

I think alot of it comes down to making the car look more modern etc but that isnt always the way forward with cars IMO, cheers mike! just got it back tonight wheels are done and i fitted the 20mm rear spacers, stance is 10X better now :D ill upload some photos tomorrow, or maybe thurday, was to dark after i had finished earlier :shrug:

I love black wheels , Especially for the stealth look ! Hard too photograph ,although always look mint in person , Watch out for curbs i was so scared when i had the leon .. Even more so with the ibiza !

They will become a pain to keep that shiner like, and you'll have to tyre black the tyres loads more :p had gloss black on my corsa and they were a right pig!

i just wanted to take them off today and polish them haha :p Going to gloss black the side strips next :)

They will be easy to clean being powdercoated, on the corsa i had you could literally get a cloth and wipe it off and the wheels were shiny again :)

I'd clean them first , Might scratch if you do that mate :p

was thinking that lol, i know what he means, the bloke said just soapy water and a sponge should bring it off :) obviously if you leave them build up with dirt and break dust then it will be considerably harder :shrug:

Wax them everytime you clean the car , the more wax the less dust etc , Wax = win .. You will find when they get dirty just makes them look a matt colour and thats pretty cool too :p
