Thanks mate :thumbup:. It will be worth it in the end Phil when yours is done, cant wait to see it finished. :D.

A set of Ibiza Cupra rims will look awesome but think ull have to lower it alot more on them

Always fancied a set Cupra wheels instead of the Cupra R Oz's but I cant really go about lowering it anymore with my commute to work etc.

So I have been having a think and Im considering taking the rear seats and parcel shelf out and going for the 'stripped out' look.

Also I was looking at the car today and was thinking that the Oz's look alittle big on the Ibiza :confused:. And wondering if I should maybe drop down to 15's again :confused:.

Well driving home from work tonight the heat-shield above the cat decided it didnt want to be attached to the car anymore. So I removed it tonight. Hopefully I dont need it on the car. :lol:. Thought I would post some pictures of how it looks now. :cartman:.

But while I was removing it I had 2 random lads driving alone my street stop and ask if the Ibiza was for sale, must be doing something right with it :D!!

The Mk2 passed its re-test today!! :D :funk:.

Got the brake pipe replaced today so it now has its green certificate for the next year!!

Car is into the bodyshop on Monday (22nd) for one or two things then after that I dont know what the next step is going to be.

Any suggestions are welcome.

Some of you may have saw a thread in the mk2 section regarding the interior mirror so here are some pictures to explain why.

Im very happy with how it has turned out. :D. The corners arent 100% perfect but for a first attempt of using the vinyl stuff it isnt bad.

Pictures of it fitted to follow at some point.

Well that is my car now in the bodyshop now for the next week to get the rear driver arch fixed before the rust gets any worse. It has 'just' started to spread around onto the panel of the car, there is only about 1-2mm of creep up the side but want to tackle it before it gets worse. Im also getting my roof done with mirror covers to match (hopefully!). I am so excited for getting the car back!! [B)]:happy::D. Pictures will follow once the car is back and has been cleaned!!

Also I finally got my single wiper issue fixed and I am really happy with it now, I can add another little modification to it now that it is fixed. :D

That is all for now. :thumbup:

After browsing on ebay I found my next little modification. And it will maybe give me some motivation to get working on the engine bay.

I know there will probably be alot of haters about it because I dont have a 20vt or TDi engine in my car or any Forge products relating to the engine but I liked the cap so thats all that matters :thumbup:. Plus I got it for a very decent price.

Also its getting closer to me also getting the Ibiza back!! :D

Update time!!! :thumbup:.

Tonight I got my car back from the bodyshop and I am over the moon with how it has turned out . :drool: [B)]. The roof has turned out much much better than I ever expected it too :thumbup: :D.

Heres a quick teaser pic.

And it isnt the colour that it looks in those pics. :whistle:

More pics will follow after the car has had a proper wash etc.

Really happy with the job that has been done on the mirror covers and rear drivers side arch aswell. Had that whole panel done and it is such a close match to the original paint.

Cant wait to get the car cleaned (inside and out) and get some new pictures up.

Im finally getting close to the stage where I am 100% happy with it. :redface:
