Bloody hell mate - your f***ing nuts! lol. Cheered me up though tonight! Glad to see youve sorted yourself out and dechromed etc. Air Con pipe is funny as hell!

Thank god youve put a proper filter in there now! I'd recommend putting some sort of heat shield between the engine and the filter as it'll pull in some warm air from the side. You could probably make it out of tin foil or something!

Get centre caps on the alloys, top up your coolant and your sorted!

Got centre caps on the Alloys matey! took them off temporarily because i refurbed one of the wheels on the weekend.

As for the tin foil comment... i will get a heat shield on it though....

You've done some nice touches on your car. Wouldn't of liked to have refurbed the wheels myself though (i'm too impatient). Good job

Updates soon!

will be travelling down to brighton tommorow to pick up my new project wheels which will be for sale shortly...VW santa monicas I hope to be mirror polishing them back up to standard...

I also got a new splitter and rub strips with 3 Cans of paint!!

BUT i probably will only need one can for the side strips...i was thinking of colour coding the lower front and rear valances...what are peoples thoughts on this?

 

[danmay]

The rear one looks ace done (i've gotta say that cuz its what i got ) the front chips real easy im told though, might be ok you never know!

santa monicas are nice wheels, you just refurbing them then flogging them without putting them on the left nut of the 1.2's?

yea was thinking of jus refurbing them then flogging, was going to fit it to the ONLY 1.2 12v mk4 ibiza on SCN in extreme blue (mine for the slow people)

but im going to have to sort out rubber etc...cant really be bothered....you think i should do the rear then?

 

[Ibiza02]

your going to make big deal now aint ya lawrence now ive got rid of my extreme blue ibiza haha

 

[mixupz]

Ive got to make a big deal of it! its a very special colour....VERY RARE compared to the run of the mill, black, red i seem to see so much!

Updates now...

i colour coded my rub strips! very happy with them, apart from one where the primer was too thick and made the colour coat finish too thick so ive ordered a replacement that ill pick up from our SCN meet on Sat...thanks Pete88 (local parts adviser)

colour coded my front grille, had issues with what i colour i should do it in...

first...

i did all Gunmetal grey (the chrome surround and the S in the centre, and body colour blue inbetween the S lines)

then a Gloss Black S with the Blue inbetween bits,

then reverted to a Chrome S with gloss black inbetween bits and gunmetal grey Grille surround... very happy with thaat....

also did something very special with my spare Splitter...(awaiting the rude comments of people afraid of trying something new)

i put it on the back again! but turned it upside down and shaved off the middle bits!...the rear looks alot lower visually and more uniformed as it follows the curves of the original valance (i heated up the splitter so i could get it exact...i think it looks great and actually looks VERY OEM)

pics will be up soon but as with England weather theres never a great time for it!

 

[Ibiza02]

glad to hear the splitter and strips where of some us mate

 

[danmay]

the splitter idea does sound pretty good to be fair dude, colour code the back definately though!

 

[CraigW]

First time ive read this thread through and i have to say your car looks good.

Im curious to see what the splitter looks like. Good to see you have tried something different.

Well done with the RR result. I'd be interested in keeping an eye on how this tune-up influences performance, reliability and service-life (if at all), and oil and fuel consumption in the long term.
