Ive always 'panicked' over emissions.. thankfully the Goof is PRe-Cat, so it takes a bit (read LOT) of the worry off ! 
I bet they will moan about my wheels on my next MOT, cause they probably think "the tires are too small" or something like that .
Also, I'm going to make you guys jealous: In the Netherlands they don't really check your emissions during the 'general perodic test'(that's the Dutch equivalent of the MOT, pretty much). They didn't do it on my last test and I've never heard someone that failed on it either).
To keep on topic:
You know you got a mk2 Ibiza when you're already embarrassed as you're getting in the car during rain... Because you know you're going to have to restart the engine just to shut the bloody wiper off after wiping the rear window

Ill say nothing about DOCKING, seeing as i seem to have kept mine thus far on the Goof.. ive just done the 'Lay-Flat' mod on it.

has the beeza gone to a new home now ?
Not docking it cause it's actually usefull for when it's (been) raining and I can't see through it at all (Cause I'm too lazy to get like a towel to wipe the window before I leave )

I don't have that And I already wasted loads of money on the Beeza this month so yeah xD *Still need to get a new handbrake gaiter though, but I don't really know where to get one, the ones from Stealers are probably more expensive than they should be and the local scrapyard never has any either...

I tried... But they all had a slightly different handbrake for some reason. They got the same interior except for one thing: The handbrake/center console behind the gearlever was different. All the Golf mk3's and Polo 6l's that I found so far(about 3 trips to the scrappers) had this type of gaiter:
While I need the one like this:
So I'm kinda confused? Do the facelift Ibiza's have the same handbrake as my pre-facelift? I already checked if the ones from the first picture had a normal gaiter underneath the plastic when I was at the scrappys(like they covered it up to make the interior a bit more modern) but it's just a tube which isn't even attached at the bottom
Weird though, normally people tell you everything is a Golf/Polo on your car, and you can normally always get stuff from a Golf/Polo, but when you actually need their parts they changed it for no reason. :/
