Was hoping to update my readers rides. But after some searching i found out that it no longer existed. So i will make a new one.

My name is Andy i'm 27 years old and live in the Netherlands.On the forums i'm beter known as Pietwillem. I drive a 2001 ibiza cupra. I bought the car 6,5 years ago. When i bought it the car was bone stock.

It looked like this.

Tints all round & alloys go well with Imp blue!

I have vibra-tech mounts all round & front & rear bushes, makes such a difference to the handling
