My Mk3 Ibiza's life

[Chris3boro]

Thought I'd make one thread which follows the progress of my car, from day of purchase to now.

So, it's a Ibiza 1.4 Chill in Flash red. This is my first car, I was 18 when I got her.

Day I bought it....

First, Debadged the horrid pink 'chill' sticker on back...

Site stickers.....

Then decided to lift the interior a bit by changing the gear knob. Opted for a richbrook satin titanium one....

I then decided I wanted to get a bit more grunt from the beeza, so went for a BMC CDA kit, which improved throttle response noticably, and a slight growl when accelerating...

However....I wanted more noise! So, had to be a new exhaust. Went to a local specialist who do custom exhausts, and went for a 6x4 oval-sounds lovely ......

Wanted to upgrade wipers as standard ones screeched on windscreen, even if it was pouring down!

Then better bulbs-Philips Bluevision....

Then got some TT pedals off Chris (Ibiza02) [cheers mate]

 

[Adam R]

nice car mate. still alot of mods to do yet, but you will get there soon enough.

 

[Ibiza02]

thanks, the exhaust specialist peeps did it, was adamant I wanted a gap cutting so made a point to them that I was expecting them to do it!

chris its looking good fella..

if looking for additional mods i would say a new set of rims although the standard ones are nice i think you can go a long way with aftermarket.

keep it up

 

[Adam R]

ah thats good . now you need to lower it slightly, get bigger wheels (cupra ones)

oh btw you forgot to blank out your plates on the last pic with your fogs on


also ... you interested in a cupra R interior ?

thanks for plate reminder

did you read the edited bit of that last post ?

just seen it. I can't afford it mate, and like you said, my priorities with the car are lowering and diff alloys. cheers though

 

[Adam R]

ok np, just thought i would offer

 

[Gordz]

Looking good mate!

Agree with everyone above though, definitly new alloys you need to make that a priority, that's one of the first things I did with mine, hated the 14s, not only did they look crap, but they were a death trap!!!!!!

That pic with your foggies on makes me really jealous!!! I wish I had fog lights so much, even if i never used them, it just looks loads better with them!!!!
