My Silver Mk 3 Ibiza Sport

[Daymo]

Nice price you got that for! Need to get your tyres ASAP lol.

tell me about it mate, trying to find things to sell so i can get some, they cost a fortune, i found some toyo proxes on camskill for 45 quid a piece which i think is pretty reasonable!!! being a uni student though means i dont have 90 quid as the overdraft is already empty!!!

Hey mate, what's the badge/sticker you have on the rear left of the car? Was it easy to debadge. Thinking about doing this to my sport but was worried about it leaving marks underneath. Rob

yeah its a nurburgring sticker, and yeah it was pretty easy to debadge, i used a debit card (or something similar) to prize the letters off, then got a bit of autoglym bug and tar remover and just gave it a wipe with that and it came out perfect hope that helps

[Daymo]

well i thought id do a little update on my car due to the fact i got a few presents for my car i got some strut braces (front lower and rear upper), ipod xcarlink and some 40mm lowering springs. im gonna fit my lowering springs and front brace tommoro but i have a pic of fitting my ipod link, i'll get some other pics of my car tommoro before and after fitting the other stuff

before:-

Removing the fascia:-

Pulling the HU out

the wires behind

plugging the cable and and attaching the cd player to the loop through:-

Finished (i put the cable through the back of the cubby hole behind the gear stick for neatness

i'll put some pics up tommor of the braces fitted and the pics of the car lowered

 

[Daymo]

well, i've finally got my new tyres so i decided to give the car a good wash and take some photos!!

firstly the debadged front end, (just taken the badge off to make it all black)

then the rear strut brace,

and when i got bored i decided to do my engine cover in zebra vinyl, gonna do it again properly next time because i rushed it!!!

if you take a look at my cupra wheels, they have wolfsburg edition centre caps (came on them) so you'd notice it, aslong as you lower your car more than 40mm your alright!! just looked on your thread and i must say your car is pretty nice and you got a good deal!!!

its pretty simple mate, you just need to undo 4 screws for the boot liner, then another 3 holding the motor on the inside of the boot, then a 10mm nit that holds the wiper on the outside, it just comes off then, they weight a bit too!! then you need a 25 mm gromet from halfords, think there like a quid for 4 or something!!!

yeah i suppose i did get it quite cheap, buit then again it did need a new cat and the 60000 service was looming in!!! there are a few decent ones out there though, just got to keep your eye out!!

 

[Bentley1989]

yeah im always looking lol gettin sick of stuff going wrong with my mk2, just hope the mk3's are better built and more reliable! if not its time for honda to step in im afraid...

 

[Daymo]

so if you cant sort out all you rproblems your gonna move onto a faster (yet more expensive to repair) band of cars
