Ow not that mk5 Ibiza again.....

[t.oldaker]

Dude, loving the car. It's different and very original which is nice to see.
Just bought me an 09 sc 1.4 but it's a lighter blue than yours( don't what the colour is called though!!) I'm picking it up tommorow and I can't wait!!!
How are you getting on with the engine? Any problems at all?
I thought it was cracking little engine when I took it for a test drive but I think quite a few peeps slating it and basically saying its pants!!!

Anyway, über nice car!!!

Cheers for the positive comments. Yeh i think its something like Galia Blue for yours if im not mistaken.

I have had no issues with then engine mechanically wise however the dreaded throttle lag with all 1.4 engines is annoying but you get used to it after a while. Pulls quite nicely through the gears when you haven't got an oil drum and bike on top, then its just slow

All in all i love it to bits and would recommend it to anyone

New Look

Right after the success at GTi International getting snapped up left right and center and even finding the car on a spanish website, It is due for a change.

All the pink is now being removed and instead replaced by some gold bbs or bbs look a like rims and some other cheeky additions. I've done a quick mock up and really like the look of it even if its a bit subtle compared to what it was before.

Let me know what you all think.

Yeh fingers crossed. Just need to get saving now and selling off the old wheels etc...

 

[Tricksc]

what bbs wheels you thinking of getting bbs rs or fake bbs wheels?

I wanted a genuine set but running through the shear cost of them makes it unlikely. I have found some gold with polished deep dish Lenso BSX wheels going for around £300 on the bay so may snap these up as they look pretty spot on.

yeah thats true a set of genuine money no object bbs rs will set you back a couple of grand these days i've rather have fakes split rims than a real set, good choice of wheels lenso bsx for the money mate you cant beat them.

New colour

Right haven't updated in a while so this is how marmite stands atm.

Changed the pink askari's to gold which i actually prefer especialy with the other bits that are going to be coming soon.

Painted the front grill surround to match the car. Saw someone abroad do it to a slammed orange mk5 ibiza and loved it.

Going to be allot of changes in the near future as my birthday is coming up so coilovers will be happening, spacers and a few other things that will split the people who like or hate it again evenmore
