Looks like theres plenty of room for 16mm, Forge do them up to 30mm !! maybe you have to fit narrower tyres, Ha Ha !!

Looking good!! I have a weitec coilover set installed on my ibi and it's really nice, if you just lower it 25 or 30mm it gonna cost you a lot, if you compare it with a coilover set

Full set of 40mm lower springs on my cordy, swedish made, £118, now go find a set of coilies that comes close to that and I'll believe you.

I don't know how the precing is in your country but I asked the price and it was about 600€ only springs and 800 for the coilovers
Not an update as such, but I've been thinking things over recently and as me and the boyfriend want to get a bigger place next year, if push comes to shove because monthly car payments are too much I'm gonna get rid of the Ibiza.
Purely so i'm not lodged down with car payments up to £220 a month, I'd still stick with a SEAT though and would at the old shape Leon FRs probably. Love these ones.
Still, thats next year anyway!

Would be a shame if u had to sell up but I understand, when I was still paying for mine I always said if I needed to it would have been the thing to go
so glad I got through the payments - like u said hope u choose to stay with seat there are some cracking cars out there, I do like those last shape leons to Its a last resort, hopefully it should be ok. I don't see why it wouldn't as my other half loves the car aswell.
When I told my Mum today what I might do, her face said it all lol. Looked very sad. But I'm only saying its a possibility. If so though, a nice leon FR would do the job perfect from what i've seen on autotrader and pistonheads.
Just a last resort though.

You gonna join me on the LEON brigade then are you?! Would be sad to see your beeza go though as you've put so much into it already.
Haha, only a maybe.
Still got stuff to go on the ibiza as well, which will be next year. Just can't stay in this flat anymore, with a new neighbour and he's far too noisy. So we have to go lol.
You can get some lovely leon FR's though for about £3,000-5,000. But i do love the stormtrooper. Alot lol.

Finally!!
After taking the car to the dealers at 10AM and being told it would have to wait 3 hours for the glue to set, i phone up at 5PM to be told the woman at the dealers had left a voicemail on my phone (which i didn't get) saying the glue actually takes 5 hours to set. So i hell of a long 7 hours later i finally picked up the car with the spoiler attached
Took quite a few angles to really show it off
then a few the day before when i gave it a good clean trying to scrub off as much tar as possible.
Reflection shot
hi how much did u get charged for the painting of the spoiler ?
i hope that included fitting Charlotte? Car is looking very nice babe. Now you need them side skirts and the look will be complete.

That was a main dealer I wasnt gonna go to them there a rip off no offence, was that for. The spoiler,painting and fitting Or just painting/fitting ?
Small update from last.
We had a friend of my other half's Mum come round today who deals with mortgages. We need at least a 5% deposit for a house. He's going to see what the figures are for a mortgage, with the car being on it and without. As the mortgage people will see my car as a permanent fixture.
I've pretty much come to terms with what will probably happen. Won't be looking at an FR as a new car, as its an increase in engine meaning more petrol. And higher insurance.
So i've been looking at MK3-MK4 golfs. Dont like the old Ibiza shapes. The golfs are same insurance as my Ibiza pretty much now. And I could get a loan and save at least £100 a month doing so. However, still have to wait for feedback of figures next week.
As a result, no more mods. My next big mod next year was to get my coilovers (yes i've had coilovers for the last 2-3 months!) they won't be getting fitted anymore.
I'm fine with it though as I've seen great cars for lower prices in great conditions.
