Gooner_Mike's Ibiza FR 20vt

[wacko_jacko]

I would go for black lol but thats a bit biased as i have black wheels

 

[Gooner_Mike]

Not sure I like the look of them! The offset pushes the rear wheels nicely to the edge of the arches but the front wheels look too far out! I guess thats the offset...

Not sure if I like them. Thinking of selling and continuing my quest...

My new toy has arrived... FORGE 007P RECIRC VALVE!!!!

Nice and shiny silver colour too. I was thinking of painting it red to match the strut brace. Thoughts?

Pictures to follow of it being fitted (which I will have a go at this afternoon I think).

Thanks scott5 for the valve!

Forge 007 fitted

Forge 007 recirc valve arrived today! Fitted it this afternoon and went for a short test drive. I think it has made a difference Just feels a bit smoother between gears

I want to keep fine fairly standard looking ie. no facelift bumper etc! Just alloys and lowered, everything else will be on the inside....

HIDs and LED sidelights

Went down to Autobulbs Direct in Southampston to pick up a set of their 6000k HID kit. I didn't realise that they had teamed up with hids4u also! Here are some pictures of the kit and fitting it.

I also bought a set of LED sidelight bulbs from ebay so fitted those too!

No real problems with fitting the kit, just about 1hr of sweat and tears to get it all done. Bit tight on the battery side but get there in the end (even tucked the ballast into the battery box!) Impressed with the results and I haven't even driven it at night yet!

HIDs left.... normal bulb right (not the best picture I know but you get the idea!)

The end result...

I might give the wheels idea a rest for now! Next mod is Green filter and maybe rear ARB.

 

[Gooner_Mike]

Been out and about driving at night with the new HIDs! They are amazing! Great colour of light and amazing reflections from signs etc. What a great buy. I can recommend them to anyone that doesn't have them!!!

[Ibiza 130 tdi]

Been out and about driving at night with the new HIDs! They are amazing! Great colour of light and amazing reflections from signs etc. What a great buy. I can recommend them to anyone that doesn't have them!!!

Signs and number plates shine up stupidly well from MILES away!

Glad you're happy.

 

[Gooner_Mike]

HIDs are the way forward! Everyone should get them in my opinion.

Looking nice. I am very unsure of applying any mods to my 1.2 as i want to get rid of it next year. Car is looking very nice to be honest with you.

I want your alloys though....

 

[Gooner_Mike]

16" FR pre-facelift alloys. Come up on ebay every now and then. You'll have to offer me enough cash for me to get another set of wheels

 

[Rosco906]
