Lairy T's New Ibiza Mk5 1.6TDi Sport

[LairyT]

Here are a few pics of the new car.
It's a work in progress.
Came with black alloys, black mirror caps and convenience pack. Spoiler added and silver indicator bulbs on the front so far.
Plan to lower it and add side skirts when money permits

Very nice - I never see very many silver ones near me. Theyre all red black or white!

The spoiler makes a huge difference to the back of the 5 door, big improvement!

Can't wait to see how it progresses.

very nice! haven't seen a silver one yet. Love the spoiler though. Looks really high, higher than mine i think.

My brake discs go that funky rusty colour when i wash it, hate it

Looking good mate, alot of people dont like the 5drs but my dads 5dr FR pulls it off well You should get the aero kit, love the look of them

Plans sound good, IMO id go for the eibach springs they are very good quality springs and still retain some comfort and corners amazingly

Absolutely beautiful in silver. So understated.

Thanks!
I like the idea of continuing the black touches (after seeing some other people's cars on here) like the front (like a Boca) and the roof, but at the same time I am cautious of making the car become too black as I love the silver so much - decisions!?

Changed my rear indicator bulbs for silver ones today.
Did them in no time thanks to the guide (SC16v) and some help from magicoi

 

[VRSLOZ]

Woo woo, looking good!

Subtle changes are the best

Need to get these done too, fronts were done long ago though

Hey cars looking great i realy want black wheels im jelous not funny! Them lights i could only give them to u at retail price prob best off waiting for a pattern make to come out ull deff get them cheaper then sori but lovin them black wheels stuble touches nw like grill nd lower her!

Swamps - didn't get to fit the splitter thanks to the rain but between showers got the chance to offer it up on the front of my car and it looks good, but one question - for your FR, did fitting the splitter take a bit off rough pulling of the splitter? What I mean is, when we held it up so the middle was where it was supposed to be, and one side was aligned correctly the other side was quite far off, and to get it to fit involved me having to pull it into shape. Just wondering if this is normal or it's because my car is Sport and yours FR so slightly different bumpers.

Might let Magicoi fit it to his Leon Cupra first and then if that goes ok get another one for mine. I plan to change side indicator bulbs now as orange sticks out like sore thumb, then grille and lowering will be next in list!

 

[swampy06]

aww! i did have to pull it into shape but not with excessive force ,

 

[-SlicK]

You will have to bend it abit to get it to fit

Cant tell you im afraid :/

Doesnt it say in the manual?
