Mk4 Ibiza 1.4 now rolling on Touareg 17s

[Kurtice]

Going to start off with a brief background of the car.

Have owned since Nov '11. Saw an Ibiza for sale near me after writing off my clio. Loved everything about it so started the hunt for a decent one as closer inspection showed obvious neglect and a bodged accident repair. Was originally looking for something with a little more power but this came up and was well worth the 4.5k, 2 1/2 hr drive to robinsons seat in lowestoft to pick it up and the 4hr drive back (getting lost). Its a 06 1.4 sport, silver with only 14.5k on the clock when I picked it up with a fdsh including cambelt change. Was too good to say no.
Being my first vag after a 106 and a clio, it never fails to impress me amd has a surprising amount of grunt from a standard 1.4 engine.

At present modifications I've done are as follows:

• FR/Cupra rear lights
  Euro Rear Cluster with cree led for fog light
  LCR Splitter
  Black Mirror Covers
  Heko Wind Deflectors
  Debadged Rear
  Dewipered rear
  Pioneer Headunit and vibe black death active enclosure
  Momo Gear Knob
  Cupra Vent Switches
  Cupra Handbrake Cover
  FR Upper Grills
  Black Centre Grill w/ C.Fibre Wrapped Badge
  Red Tailored Car Mats
  Carbon Fibre Effect Bonnet Bra (now in my room)
  Osram Gold Tipped Nightbreaker Plus' headlights, Osram sidelights, Silvertec Indicator bulbs, Golf Interior Light with blue led centre and xenon map bulbs and led boot light
  Stubby Aerial
  Various small bits of carbon wrapping in centre console
  Red Shinny Washers In Engine Bay
  Porsche Coolant and Oil Caps, Forge Washer Cap
  And Finally Private Reg with Europl8 pressed plates

Overall goal for the ride are alloys, static drop, good stance while trying to keep it oem. On the performance side of things I only have the thoughts of an induction kit and exhaust in mind.
As the title suggests, picking up a set of touareg 17's fully sprayed in gun metal metallic with tyres that are in pretty good nic on thursday. Now on the lookout for vw to porsche 130 adapters.

Hope you enjoy the thread. Comments both positive and critical welcome

A few quick snaps

 

[Kurtice]

And a couple of the interior bits and pieces ive done

Excuse the gfs handbag

 

[Kurtice]

The first few pics were put up a bit sharpish just to get some pics up but took some better ones this morning. Starting off with the exterior

Tinted fogs, Honeycomb fr grill's, bonnet bra and seat plate surround

No more fried egg look

Team Heko wind deflectors. Still standard alloys for now

 

[Kurtice]

And then a couple of the interior. Desperately in need of cleaning

Tailored mats, Cupra vent switches and handbrake cover, momo gear knob, ebayed black and red stitch gear gaitor

Started to wrap a couple of bits of the interior trim and added a few stickers

very nice, not too sure on bra

 

[Kurtice]

Thanks. Bra's are a bit marmite but ive always been a fan of them and I wanted something a bit different

 

[Kurtice]

Anyone know if exterior door handles just pop off or does the whole mechinism and what not need removing?

 

[Kurtice]

Have stumbled across a full set of Fr rear lights for £125. I personally think this is good value as I worked it out as a lot more when trying to source individually. Opinions please. Get paid friday and its itching to go on the car

 

[Kurtice]

Got a few things fitted over the last couple days:

Golf Interior Light

Black Mirror Covers. £8.50 bargain off ebay imo

FR Rear Lights. Well worth the 260 mile round trip to pick up

 

[Kurtice]

Front Splitter, which was a bit of a bi**h

 

[Kurtice]

Snapped whilst on break at work. The cheapest roof vinyl ever

Took another pic of the splitter whilst fixing my window switch. Decided to have a mind of its own and opened and closed at will :/

 

[Kurtice]

Finally got around to fitting the new shinny bolts and washers that have been in my boot for about a week.

With a couple left over

.

Planning on a big clean of the engine bay when the weather allows it

[Kurtice]

A few pics of my stickers after getting my new SCN stickers and peeling a few old ones off

My peeping M&M survived.

 

[Kurtice]

Waiting for me outside my bedroom door when i woke up this morning.......

.......So naturally

.
Will be ordering a new cap for the washer bottle

 

[Kurtice]

Dismantled my standard grill to get the badge from it to be wrapped. Started this last night

Wrapped badge on an all black replacement from ebay. Came without a badge so had to use my own.


And here it is fitted

I think it looks absolutely mint and makes the front end look a lot meaner. Undecided whether to paint the inserts of the badge or to leave silver as the cars silver.

 

[Kurtice]

Couldnt think of a funny pun to write so thought id advertise. 0-2 degree temps is too cold to be cleaning imo
Was hard to capture the full web adress in a pic

 

[Kurtice]

As title change says. Just orderd a euro cupra rear cluster. Will be symmetrical when it arrives

 

[Mark_Karting]

Looks good, same model as my car and going in a similar direction. Looking good so far, will need to get myself some of the FR lights!!
