My First EVER Project, SEAT Ibiza 1.4 MkIII

[JayMcalldoe]

Well hey guys!
This is my first time joining any type of forum, so i've spent a bit of time reading threads etc. and i have to say, awesome work!
This is my 1st proper car (100% totally owned and insured by me =P)
So i decided to create a Readers Ride thread to invite you guys to watch/see how my standard ibiza becomes something somewhat more interesting to look at! (No point in increasing power as its only 1.4!)
So here it goes!

I'm gonna disappoint you at the outset and say......you need 15 posts to put up pics, and without them people will (generally) skip by your thread. For now just list your mods and such and ask a few questions/reply to a few other threads and then come back and edit your post once you can post up pics

I for one look forward to seeing how your first project comes along though

Will do!

Anyway, here is what i'm hoping/planning to do:

-Subtle spraying/renewing of parts to restore them to original quality or as close to this as possible e.g. spraying inside door panels, refurbing alloys etc.

-My main thing i want to get done, is slam her on coilies! The standard ride height i feel is rather monster truck like!

-De-badge her for sure! I've seen a lot of these de-badged and i really think it enhances the look

-Wire in my Head-unit, Amp and 6x9's from my previous car (as i'm a HUGE music lover and prefer quality over bass anyday!)

As for now, this is all I can think of, as i don't wanna overload myself cause i'll get excited and do things in a silly order!

Any feedback is greatly appreciated

And how much for the coilies you got a pic?

 

[speters2001]

Welcome to the forums (just be careful guys, the mods take a dim view to buying and selling on the forums as it's against the rules)

Anyhow I used to have a 1.4 mk3 so I can't wait to see how you get on with this one.
I still miss mine!

Aaah right okay is there a buy and sell section as such?
And I just replaced my Aerial today with an ally stubby one, and started respraying my inside door handles as I'm sure you know the horrible rubber coating comes off and it looks tatty!
Anyway thanks for showing interest in this post dude!

Usually someone mentions they have something they're looking to get rid of and then someone will PM or email them to sort it out as there was a lot of hassle with the old 'Parts For Sale' section and people not paying or delivering (so I've heard, wasn't here myself when it happened).

Oh okay, I'll have to wait till I've hit my 15 post limit before I get PM's
