My first Ibiza :) 1.4 sc

[Zlash_eX]

Looking good.
One thing I will say is on your first post, change the 'Possibly lower car' to 'Definitely lower car'!
Ibiza's across the spectrum look so nice when they sit a bit lower, and imo the Mk4 and Mk5 models sit too high at standard height (hence why I have coilies for my Mk4).

Your car would look even more awesome if it was slammed, or just lowered like 30-40mm.
Also, love the vinyl wrap!

 

[adambolus]

Thanks, just need to.find some money and then see what insurance say lol

but vinyl will.be gone on Tuesday

 

[adambolus]

So I finally.got my car back from the garage, had a terrible fiesta with 800 miles on the clock lol.

Well I got the front sprayed as promised and looks so much better then the vinyl dead happy with it
Oh yeah also felt like spraying my wing mirrors

next will be lowered or spoiler can't decide. But not ve any time soon unless I get a bargain as I move into my first house

 

[ScrewedSkull]

It's not often that I think that contrasting colour wing mirrors look good, but that looks spot on - nice one
really tidy looking mk5.

on another note, is that a mini I spy behind it?

 

[adambolus]

Someone has a keen eye lol. Yeah that one is my dads, I used to drive a white one, then an orange one lol.
Currently on the hunt for a mini pickup

thanks I wasn't too sure on the mirrors when I had sprayed them, but the finish the car.nicely I think

 

[ScrewedSkull]

I wish I had the dollar for a second car - ever since I was little all I wanted was a mini.

 

[char_baby]

[adambolus]

Does look good that mate

 

[BobbyT]

looks really good. I'm hoping to pick mine up this week. If you get chance could you take a pic of your alloys so I can see what the red brakes look like? And also what stubby aerial did you use? I've seen quite a few but don't know which one would work the best etc. Cheers

 

[adambolus]

I think I have a picture a couple pages back

And I just bought one off ebay, the only thing that matters when you buy it is that the screw is the same type think it was either 4 or 5mm screw. Sure you can find it easily enough

 

[BobbyT]

aah yeah sorry missed that pic. looks quite good actually.

is the signal still perfect when using the radio then? When I was looking around a few people said that their radio signal wasn't great. I have one at home from my dads old 1 series so I might try that out if it's as simple as a screw.

 

[adambolus]

No its not as good, still had the main channels but weaker.channels faded sometimes, I was looking at one with a signal booster in. I have the standard one on now as the stubble one started rusting!

Yeah if the screw is the same it should fit,

 

[adambolus]

so my beefa had just ticked over the 10k mark today
Everything is running perfect, engine fine no annoying rattles or anything
Must have been lucky and got a good un'

No real updates for the car tho, was thinking about spraying the speedo covers and vinyl wrap on the hood.
was looking into sill covers, but may try what gazep3 did, vinyl on the sills, hmmm

 

[char_baby]

Must have been lucky and got a good un'

What do you mean a 'good un' nothings gone wrong with the 1.4s?

Certainly not mine and its at the 14,300 mark now. Been as smooth as anything with no problems what so ever.

 

[adambolus]

I don't mean engine, more people have rattles and creaks and trim problems lol.

 

[adambolus]

so my car was one the other day ticked over 10k miles
Love this car, it is by far my favourite for what i have had so far
Gonna keep this for atleast another year before looing at upgrading, couple mods in store i hope


Also Had some more warranty work done, the parcel shelf clips, that are the main pivot, one had partially snapped in half, so didnt stay on the pivot anymore, which broke the other as when i shut the boot

Nipped into seat Bristol Street Motors on the way home, they did it all in 30 mins and i was gone with 2 new clips
Great service there (when hasseled some times lol)

 

[JordanMk3]

Car looks class mate!! Love the mk5 ibiza!! Are the 1.4's quick? Because the mk3 1.4's are dog slow!
Would look so good lowered about 40mm... I think that would just set it off

Quality car mate! Love it!

 

[adambolus]

Depends what you compare it to lol. Its not massively slow but not massively.quick either lmao.
Mines re-mapped tho so different haha

I would love to lower it. Just money :/
