Side skirts fitted :D

Love how the car looks with them on, I would encourage anyone thinking of doing it to get them. Totally transformed the looks :) And the finish by the body shop looks almost factory

Not the best pics :p

Looks tidy now bud.
Even with them H&R springs the ride still looks high, hate how high the Ibiza is haha. I've put 18's on mine just to fill the arches.
Whats your next plans then?

Looking good,how's the ride quality with the H&R,s on

Cheers :) errm i really like it, it does feel much firmer and ride a tad harsher than stock. The biggest thing i've found is the increase in confidence going round corners, there seems to be hardly and body roll :D

Umm at some angles it does, but its hard to find a balance between comfort and height for a daily car surely? How does it look with 18's?

Next if the front bumper wrap in black to match the alloys and wheels then after that it'll be little interior bits :)

Yeah same here mine can look perfect at one angle and then the next look like it is on stilts. I'm thinking about getting some cheap coilovers as I'm not sure on how long I will keep my car. The 18's sit well atm, fronts are sitting right, they'll rub if you throw it hard into a tight corner but other than that it clears well but the rear is still a little high for my liking. I would get a picture up for you but I'm not sure on how to post them.
Your car will look tonnes better with the front done in black :p

@KK nice ride,have fun with it. Where did you get the side indicators?

Everything looks fine but I never like that black rim thing on any car, looks like spare wheels, sorry.

Also, i noticed the headlight washing unit on your front bumper. I know that they are for xenons but you have regular halogen lampd like mine... Was it optional to have those?

It's 100 times better, to be fair yours should have come like that from the factory, it's nice tho, esp the seats

Just can't be bothered with coilovers
