^^^^^^^metal type.........Aluminium
Yeah right, why do people think that ALLOY MEANS ALUMINUM
An alloy means a mixture of 2 or more metals where as aluminum is a metal in it's own right and aluminum wheels cost a lot more than £240
I really like the SX alloys, i dont think they're appreciated enough to be honest though some FR wheels would go down a treat
Cheers btw mate, much appreciated. i havent done as much as i'd like though, still plenty left to doi just love the colour, its nice to have something a bit different. the volcano red is quite a rarity, i think ive only seen one other member with the same colour in a mk4
I love my 1.2, its been pretty reliable, mines done 73k. only thing ive had to change is the suspension bushes since i had it. its decently economical, i usually get around 300 miles out of a tank. only thing is having a 1.2 a quite heavy car you do have to push it to get something out of it. only thing i'd change is it being a bit quicker. i love the noise it makes around 3000rpm+ though
. It was brand new when they gave me it, an 05 reg 1.2 SX 5 door in anthracite. I loved it, i did a quite a few miles in it over the 3 months, i took it everywhere from Kent to Scotland and everywhere inbetween! Even did 750 miles in it in one day and took it to scotland with 3 of us and lots of lugage for a weeks holiday. I think i took it back with 5K miles, it had 20 miles on when i got it . Still it serves them right for having my car so long, they sold it almost as soon as i took it back.
No, I was Taking the pi$$ out of the person selling the whels not you
Aluminum
Its a very nice colour, im not sure if i have even seen another, not that i can think of. For some reason earlier Mk4s seem to be that pale green, pale blue or red, so its nice to see a change!
Actually i have driven 2 1.2 Ibizas, i had one for 3 months from the Seat dealer, while they were busy ruining my poor little Arosa
Great cars, and a very nice engine is the 1.2, from what i can remember of it, it was a nearly 4 years ago. I need something cheap to keep and run while im at uni, so im condiering one myself. The arosa Tdi i had was too small and no Air Con, an ibiza would be a good option.
Those 16" alloys there look like Leon/Toledo wheels? Might need to fit smaller tyre to those for a swap onto an Ibiza.
sounds like they took their time. i wouldnt mind having a new car for 3 months though

Is it your first car?

Reliable? For sure. Had mine over a year now, and it's been ragged as hard as it will go weekly. Nothing has broken. Not a thing. Mine's 02 plated as well, so slightly older. On the MOT all it needed was a handbrake adjustment
Economy? Mine's on the low side, but it's almost always driven in town, with the fastest roads being sign posted at 50. On a trip to thorpe park last week, it did 110 miles round trip on a 1/4 tank - so, that worked out at a quite impressive 50mpg. I really didn't know the car could do that...anyway - so it depends largely how/where it will be driven.
Performance? Well the thing is, it's a car that's very tempting to push because it's so controllable, the suspension set up seems very good. However - I often find myself wanting a little more power, and the brakes could be harder - that said, mine doesn't have ABS.
IMO they are often more fun to drive than larger, faster cars. Dont think a sport is for me, not if they are all as hard and crashy as that one. Mind the pull of the 130 is very nice, id find it hard to keep tyres on it though! Will try a 1.2 again, they are, for some odd reason, very appealing 
family guy is the dogs danglies
I drove a Ibiza 1.9TDi 130 Sport yesterday, very nice, but suspension on the sport is obviously an option. It would have been more comfy sat in a shopping trolly
lmao. i like what you did there
as for the ariel adaptor, i think i got mine a bit cheaper than that on fleabay
