Lol. I'm still legal on the roads sweetheart, just lacking in the mods atm. The push to start is an awesome mod though. should've got a better switch, but thats my only regret :)

Okay, update/mod (by necessity) My old backbox fell off, and I knew a member had a mk4 cupra backbox going, so a couple of emails later, this arrived :D (Props to L5FLD. Top man!)

Along with a couple of visits to the local motor factors outlet (plus quite a bit of cursing and head bashing) Turned into this:

:( I want an exhaust too!! Well, I have a job now, so modding is ont horizon :) Weekly pay = Modding :) Insurance first though :(

Declared your exhaust? :p

Lol. No, not yet. I'm not sure if its classed as a mod. I mean, I couldn't find (yes, I looked) and decent S/H exhausts/backboxes on ebay or any other site for that matter, and this one came up, stock inlent, 40mm, I've got a cupra bumper from the same dilemna, pay through the nose for new bits, or get 'uprated' bits at a better price. Its difficult.

Good news about the job!! What are you going to be doing then? I've got an apprenticeship to be doing for the next couple of years :)

Im sure you did look Owen Haha!! It is actually really hard to type "Ibiza chill exhaust" into ebay.. When you can type "Ibiza Cupra Exhaust" Haha.. How much was your bumper? I just want one for the little bit that goes around the exhaust, the trim bit?

The job is crap.. I do admin at a hospital, its local = not too much on fuel, and its weekly pay = Modding!! And I would love to do an apprenticeship.. What are you doing? Add me on FB mate ;)

And get rid of that bloody mudgaurd :)

I looked in scrappies....uhhh, on here, on the FB group, ummm. No, I typed in 'Ibiza exhaust' and the only ones that came up were cupra ones! Shaaaaame.

Added.

Bumper was around the 40 mark IIRC, but colour code yours and cut a hole out, does the same job, I can give you dimensions if you can make them work ;)

Exactly, work to live, not live to work 'n' all that. At least when you get out you'll have plenty of energy for modding and meets :) I'm doing *breathes in* an 'Advanced Apprenticeship in Electronic Engineering.' Or an AAEE for short :cartman:

Shut it about the mudguard. When I can be bothered, I shall, in the meantime, people may laugh at it and envy my backbox :p

Bumper part no.: 6K0807307B If you fancy a quote for a new one :headhurt:

Hi Owen :)

Exhaust looks great on the ibiza, nice work and I'm glad you are happy with it.

How long did it take to open the parcel? The amount of tape I used was insane hahaha.

Ta muchly! I was pleased with how easy it was to fit! (Would've been even easier if i wasnt playing with it from under axle stands!)

Lol! I did wonder, i was so tempted to go at it with a knife, but didnt for fear of scratching the box! Probably took me berween 15 and 20 mins to get it out though. Thanks a million for it, makes such a difference to the car! :)
