Hi all. I have recently bought a ibiza mk4 cupra tdi in red. had the car at a good price with full service history , 2 keys , original reciept etc. The car has been remapped before i have had it but it seems to be badly done , so that will be sorted sooner rather than later.
So far i have given the car a full service with genuine parts all with a broken leg
After this was done it was a case of i have some money left from selling my previous car so lets do some subtle bits and bobs. 1st was a must.
20mm hub centric wheel spacers for the rears , also fitting rear caliper springs to the handbrake set up ready for the winter.
I only had one after shot with them on its a poor one
Few days pass of no fiddling with the car untill i buy some fr grills. The only problem is i bought the wrong colour ones. So a bit of pimp my grill was required so i sprayed them to the correct colour
To
I then decided to have a go at changing the colour of the lip of my bumper.
A trip to B&Q for black kitchen cupboard vinyl and for £7 is a good price to have a go myself. 1st attempt was a disaster so a tantrum occurred. 2nd attempt was better
And the final result came out ok
I then had to tackle the wheels. The last owner loved curbs and god only knows what else , So a refurbish had to be done. I wanted them to match dark gray plastics on the car. Cost me £250 to be done with new tyres fitted. They came back looking amazing after the place told me he had to make up the colour to match. Here are the pics of them on the car.
So thats my car up to date. I have ordered some new headlight bulbs in time for winter and pressed plates for it. I will update when my gifts come.
Thanks for reading.
