Just a quick phone snap, if the rain stops I'll get a couple more tonight

Rain? Its blooming roasting down here lol anthracite wheels suit the black

 

[lawrieIbizaMk4]

I really need to sort my garage ha!

 

[vroomtshh]

I can probably guess the answer to this, but are you interested in selling one of the old wheels?

Looks loads better with the anthrecite wheels. Not usually a fan of the cupra alloys, but those do look good. No wheel bolt covers?

They're a fiver for a full set from David at Sere. And they come in anthracite. You NEED to get them. Make a massive difference

ooooh ok! i thought they were just bog standard black rubber! i shall order them on payday along with the rear reflector'!

 

[lawrieIbizaMk4]

coilovers advice lads...would there be any point on putting Racelands on? can't imagine the ride quality being any worse than it is standard?

 

[ScottHmk4]

i looked at getting JOM coilovers for mine as there reviewed well for budget coilies, but i got a set off vroomtshh (FK highsport) but they need 2 new front dampers (which im in process of trying to get)

And after having those highsports, I'd say racelands/jom etc should be avoided.
You get what you pay for. There are plenty good reviews for them, but not by man sensible people

I know after my experiences, I'll never have a set of coilovers on my Ibiza again

got home from work and got bored so seeing as it was a nice evening i decided to get the neglected bottle of SRP out of the garage, never really bothered using it before but after this i will definitely be using it more often! easy to work with and what a glaze it leaves on the car!

spread on with a waffle pad and left to cure for 1 hour, glass clayed & polished , wheels polished and sealed and some megs endurance tyre gel, for black trim i used WD40 and finally followed by some megs speed wax cos im lazy

sorry for phone pics but im sure you can get the jist of it!

 

[BeezaDave]

lovely shine on that

WD40 on plastic trim?? never heard that one before! good job though looks great

 

[lawrieIbizaMk4]

Thanks mate, saw it on one of the detailers threads and thought I'd give the wd40 a go and it worked a treat! Gives a nicer finish than black trim wax

 

[lawrieIbizaMk4]

This ha been my daily ride for the last week

 

[lawrieIbizaMk4]

So spent this afternoon refurbing my brake calipers as they were faded pink and generally needing some tlc! Went for the foliatec red kit and made the seat sport logo hammerite White

And how it looks behind the wheel

And how it looked before
