Thanks for taking the time to read it all mate Cheers for the comments also, I am pretty happy with how she is at the mo, I did test drive the Cupra today and would love one but if I can't get one I am happy with this
I have the MK4 Ibiza 1.2 and it went into the stealers for its front wishbone bushes to be done. They gave me a MK5 Ibiza FR 2.0 TDi, its a superb car and a big step-up like. Just made me want on soo bad. Hope it serves you good pal.
As a first car its done me well. But I want either a MK5 Ibiza FR TDi because then I can get a bike as well and seeing yours has pushed me closer to that option. However wouldn't mind a Leon K1 or an A4 S-Line as something more practicable. Will have to see mate. What you got planned next?
Springs or coilovers are a definite and also the wheels, will look superb in gloss black, all I can suggest is paint callipers red, looks good and its simple. Not fancy putting an induction kit on it or anything like that?
Was thinking of doing the calipers in red and then maybe add a few red hosing in the engine bay so the car will be red and black. Not really thought about an induction kit, do like the sound but a bit worried about heat soak
Yeh the red theme will look good especially on a black, yeh it is a worry without good heat-shielding, I think after you've done the mods you've said it will look brill so I would keep it like that for a bit untill you see something you want
My mate had it retro fitted to his FTO it was good but looked a bit tacky. It would look good, especially on top of the gear stick my personal favourite.
I meant like have it working off the keyfob so I can start it from the house 5 mins before I go out when it's cold so the car is warm also it looks pretty cool starting it as you walk towards it lol!
This is gonna sound strange, but would you be able to do a quick test for me next time you have a spare 2 mins or so and roughly count how many metres your dipped bulbs produce onto the road infront? obvioulsy when stationary and when they lights are on lol.
Mine still seem extremely short. Love the OSRAMs but they still don't look like they produce loads of meters infront of the car. It doesn't seem to reach as far as yours do in the pic.
