It says what engine he has on the cover lol. 1.4

I saw lol. Didn't know if it was a different kind of 1.4. Tsi etc.

What engine do you have?

My cover is tiny compared to that!

Only your cover? its only a 1.4 nothing fancy

Coming along! Lowering is a necessity for Ibiza's across the range. I always say that they are great cars but their only downfall is the way they ride so high as standard. Get it dropped a bit and it'll make all the difference.

Thats still on the list, wont be getting round to doing that for a while.

is it ok to drive with the engine cover off?

 

[adambolus]

Yeah should be fine as long you don't open your bonnet and touch your engine haha
its mainly there to make it look better and stop.people burning them selves haha

will be interesting to see what it looks like when its done and can I ask why the lumo orange?

 

[MK5-KXE]

Can I ask why the lumo orange?

I just thought a random colour for it. and then i decided on the interior as well
Just little bits and bobs really

 

[adambolus]

Ahh fair.enough then. I'm doing some of my interior gloss black. Next things to do are vent rings and steering wheel.bit then hopefully the speedo surround and hood

 

[5509433]

Regarding the speedo hood. I see on another forum that it is possible to wrap it.

 

[adambolus]

Yeah but its a ball ache and would prefer it sprayed really

 

[MK5-KXE]

The engine cover is completed. Great 1st time job (bits of paint missing, not enough layers, rubbish attempt)

ITS NOT EVEN FLORESCENT!!!

Please Flame now

do you have a link to the forum, if it has a guide to remove it

 

[char_baby]

Looks good to me, however....orange?!

What a lie that can was!

 

[adambolus]

I would take that with the can to where you.bought it And say its poo and demand a refund or.change haha

wrapping the hood is the only way I can think of getting it black unless you mask the rest of the car!!!

 

[MK5-KXE]

lol wrapping the hood would be less of a pain than spraying it. 1. because spraypaint runs out 2. drip marks 3. might not be as it looks on the can = FAIL.

wrapping is the better way, you can also remove the wrapping at a later date.

 

[adambolus]

but the wrapping is likely to shrink, ripple and crease due to the heat underneath the engine

 

[char_baby]

You keep saying hood, aren't you referring to the the hood above the speed dials?

Adam I think, you think, he means wrapping the engine cover? Which I dont think is the case.

If thats the engine cover. then yea spray it!

and when i say hood i was actually thinking of bonnet. but speedo hood, would look lush if it was the same colour as the engine cover, and same with the interior of the car.

**UPDATE**
Would love to get these things done, the only issue i have is my partner (not a car type of person) so i might not be able too do anything too the car, unless i had more money income. he would be like if i did anything else. We are planning to move into a property by july.

 

[MK5-KXE]

Just remembered i have this picture

 

[adambolus]

Spraying stuff is quite.cheap and its a good way to make your car unique.
I moved into my first house 4 months ago and have only just been able to afford some springs for her. But been spraying stuff on the inside so its always looking better

 

[char_baby]

Are you paying for the car or both of you?

Otherwise you can do what you like as long as its sensible. I do what I like to mine, my boyfriend doesnt drive so he can't say anything otherwise he won't be going anywhere.

 

[adambolus]

No I'm paying for the car I.know.I can do what I like she agrees with me most of the time. Its just saving.money to do car mods lol. Rather have the house then mod my car

 

[char_baby]

Oh I meant MK5-KXE lol.
