Just thought i'd post some pics as i've never had.

Engine bay isnt quite finished yet, not far off, needs a good clean and put my washer tank bottle cover back on along with some painted parts.

Comments welcome.

Nice example there Phil. Obviously proud of your engine bay. Are you running spacers on the rear? If so how big are they? I've got superleggeras on mine and want to get some rear spacers as they don't fill the rear arches quite how i'd like them too.

I like the way you've positioned your boost gauge too.

That looks stunning mate! Always had a soft spot for that style of Ibiza and that's one of my favourite examples

looks really nice phil, you can see how much effort has gone into that engine bay. Where did you get your front and rear polished strut braces from?

It was cheap, but i have been gettin bargains, i got a spare rocker and manifold on ebay, samcos are from samco direct as i know a lot of people who work there and i';ve had some custome bits from them, difficult to see but theres part of a golf coolant kit, superflex hoses, straights, reducers etc... to replace 90% of the OEM rubber parts.

Some of the stuff can be done for free tho, like ditching parts and just general tidying up.
