honest opinions please on bodykit

[Ant FR]

Ok, i wanna finish off my FR, and heres my dilemma,

Do i firstly just go get the cupra front and rear bumpers like i had before along with the same MS design sideskirts, colour coded side strips.

Or do i, go get the SEAT bodykit and have a twin exhaust on the back ( there is a cut out on there for twin fitment)

dilemma is that option 1 requires a new intercooler and bumps the total cost up to £2000, and option 2 does not need a new intercooler.

Option 2 does not look as hard as my old FR did but is subtle and is standard stuff and would look good with my wheels and brakes. On top of that there are literally hundreds of people runnign cupra kits now, so the seat bodykit would seem ideal as its that little bit different to everyone else. oh and would cost £1000 fitted along with colour coded side strips.

So what do you all think, i would love some input on this as one minute i have made up my mind an the next minute i am undecided, i did'nt really want o make it into another cupra to keep my insurance company happy, plus as i said everyone is doing it and its too obvious.

Come on lets have your answers.

IMO, you should go for the SEAT kit, everyman and his dog has got the cupra kit, be different,

It should look cool in your colour,

iv seen a pic somewhere,

 

[Sisson]

Here you go,

Go for it!

Can't say I'm keen on the kit in the photos above, I think it's the sideskirts that don't appeal, somehow they look like an afterthought.

But I'm not a big fan of bodykits in general anyway....so you might want to ignore me

 

[evo2345]

id go for the seat sport kit to be honest not many people go that kit and i think it would suit your colour car

 

[EdButler]

Cupra Kit for me im afraid. Its aggressiveness with say a de-badged grill and front mount makes it look very imposing. Now with some xenons, at least once a week people just randomly pull over to get out of my way (i do thank them) - saves fuel overtaking i guess

Im thinking of cutting the front lower honeycomb in a triangular shape to match the bumpers lines like this /xxxxx\ to my FMIC and then spraying a seat sport or similar logo on the intercooler, should really set off a silver (or platinum/black) car IMO.

 

[Ibiza Evo 2]

Why not the new FR bumpers
You don't need the fmic and the rear bumper is the same as from the cupra.

 

[Ant FR]

ok so to narrow it down, its either this

Or this in grey with anthracite wheels

You keep posting photos of your old car just so I have to look at them skirts dont you

Cupra Kit and MS design skirts but I would say that!

Ps was your red ibiza lowered at all? cos I put the skirts on the car on Monday for a "Test" fit and they sit very low to the ground which I didnt expect!

 

[Ant FR]

no mine was'nt lowered, and the skirts were the reason i abstained from lowering as they do sit lower.

 

[Ant FR]

right thanks for comments, i have made up my mind now i have slept on it

I much prefer the Cupra kit on your red car. For me it looks a lot cleaner and tidier at the front and with the air intake being wider at the bottom than the top it makes the car look wider and squatter. The air intakes on the other kit are rounded and draw your eye to the centre of the car, making it look a bit top heavy. I also prefer the simpler, bolder side skirts on the red car.

Just my opinion – what do I know?

 

[j.a.kelly]

What did you go for? I love the cupra kit, thats whyi got it, for looks - not to make it into something its not. Could wait and see if they bring out a different kit for the new bumpers?? jus a thought

[Snoopcousins]

Definately the Cupra kit for me.
It will look sweet with that colour and also your wheels...

 

[muddyboots]

I'd go for the Cupra version, less fussy than t'other one.

 

[BeezerDiesel]

I'm with EVO 2, new FR Bumpers, and maybe the same side sills as your old car. I'm not a bodykit person either.

 

[orca]

SEAT sport looks more refined on the side skirts. But who am i to say. My FR is bog!!

 

[Vicky M]

I say, Seat Sport bumpers, and the same skirts as your red one.
keeps it different, bearing in mind all new Ibiza's will have the Cupra style front bumper

 

[nathan_harding]

heh sport kit all the way!!

Well this is my car so id say the sport kit:

I just think the Cupra bumpers are becoming common - be different

 

[Daz8161]

id personally go for the cupra kit with your old side skirts, looks really nice on the red anyway!
