Cheers mate, yeh bumper is a shame, got a new on sitting her waiting to get sprayed. Not sure exactly how much it was dropped, they fiddled about with it loads as the guy had to readjust the camber a few times as it was scrubbing alot.

Well its lower than standard for sure, the fitter told me. Maybe people are used to seeing ibizas on their arses so thats why mine looks higher than the rest.

Defo looks a bit lower. It may well drop a touch more once the springs settle. My LC went in today for service and AP fitting. Hopefully have it back tomorrow:funk:

Oh, and car looking sweet:D:D

I like the forge/revo stickers. Got some to put on mine, but cant decide between the front quarter panel behind the wheels, or the same as yours??

Thanks ell0070 yeh it may drop abit more once it settles over the next few days. Living in London with all the shi*e roads, pot holes and speed bumps its just not practicle for me to have it stupidly low.

So your going for AP's aswell? They came highly recommended to me from other members that had them on. Initial thoughts are that they are not too firm but not crashy either, abit stiffer than standard id say.

Im thinking of taking the Revo ones off maybe and just sticking with the Forge and SCN ones, i like them though.

Looks much better mate. The angle of the 2nd picture is different to the first, thats why it doesnt look lowered too much. If you caught it on your drive before your definately be catching it now, lol.

Could be about that. Thats why i went for coilovers and not a fixed drop, almost bought the H&R Cup Kit but wanted to be able to raise and lower it was much as i wanted

Yeh should do, if not i'll lower it a touch more in a week or so. Handling feels alot better though, alot less body roll. Very happy with them!

A couple of minor updates. Went on ebay and ordered a set of Aero wipers.

Look very sleek and thin. Advert said they were a universal fit and after abit of fiddling about they did go on, but one of them just wont clip in :(

Also always wanted to debadge the back of the car taking the "Seat" and "Ibiza" off the back but keeping the cupra badge. Was simple enough. Just got a basin full of hot soapy water and a credit card. They all came off fairly easily. Just got the excess glue off with some nail varnish remover:) Theres a slight difference in the colour from where the badges where on compared to the rest of the boot panel but only if you go really close up. I'll give her a polish and wax and see if that helps.

A quick before and after

I quite like it where it is to be honest. But thanks for the comments anyway. And yeah a mk5 polo gti rear wiper would finish it off well

Thanks mate, yeh makes it look alot cleaner at the back. Hybrid is coming after the summer holidays out the way, so prob september time. Next up to buy is an INA manifold and some engine mounts. Got the BAM injectors and 3' MAf housing sitting in my room. Then send the turbo away for the treatment and then off to Bills for mapping! Cant wait!

Plans for yours?
