project "unloved" Ibiza FR Tdi

[Tony T 1985]

i actually got an official verbal warning at work for that "sticker"

was pretty down at this stage (as is understandable i guess) and slightly bored of the whole ibiza thing to be honest - so i got some new wheels

these pics are just with the tyres that were fitted to the wheels so the fronts are 205/40's and the rears are 215/40 so it didn't sit all that well but i loved the silverness of it all again

got some 185/35/17's so played about weith the height a bit

here is a picture of my coilover - the top ring is where i set it to pass it's MOT

and here is where i adjusted it to

a random snap as i was walkin into asda

this is the only time the car was unbearable to drive, it was on the bumpstops pretty much the whole time ( not that much of a suprise tbh) i raised it off the bumpstops and managed to have it sitting almost exactly the same

as always C&C welcome

Looks good mate - was just about to say that must of been undriveable being that low! I loved the black wheels you had (which were then green - cant remember the name!)

thanks chris

i guess i should've named the wheels as i posted them,

the black / green wheels are vw santa monicas (mk4 golf option wheel) 17x7 (can't remember the et but may be about 33 ? )

the wheels above are BBS RW's originally from a polo dune - 17x7.5 et 35

unfortunately due to the new lows and absolute lack of clearance i wasn't able to park the car in the drive like i usually would - and some little scrote decided my roof would look better keyed bugger

then on the way to louden castle last year a tool in a civic undertook our convoy along the hard shoulder and fired a large stone through the mesh of my front bumper

double bugger

so that's us up to just over a year ago - getting there
