Wow - long time no update. I've just ordered two new parts for the car (well three parts to be precise) as it looks like I'll be keeping it for a few more years yet.

Any guesses what they could be? :)

Car is ready for collection later this evening - after "going in the oven" a couple of times due to the temperature.

Can't wait to see it.

Picked it up - very happy - should have been fitted as standard.

A big thank you to our amazing sponsor @SEAT Motor Parts for supplying the body kit at a great price and well packaged.

Woah, how bad am I at keeping this thread up-to-date?

Car has just done 92K and is still going strong, MOT and big service coming up.

Last year installed:
  • Whiteline Rear 24mm Anti-roll bar
  • H&R 25MM / 40MM Lowering Suspension Springs
  • Powerflex front wishbone front and rear and rear beam bushes
The car feels great, looks the business and handles like a proper go-kart now. I have always wanted to do tasteful mods (due to my age now!) with these mods and the extra power of the DTUK box it is a blast.

Some recent pictures.

Seeing your pics reminded me of SWMBO's old Ibiza; only a 1.2 FR, but it was a proper little rollerskate. Monsoon Grey too.

Big service and MOT done and passed. Insurance and tax renewal. All comes at the same time! :)

I am starting to get itchy feet for something new however, I'm pretty sure this is the longest I've owned a SEAT, although I had my MK2 Leon CUPRA for a while.
Hi.
If you need any help with your insurance renewal then please feel free to drop me a line.
Regards,
Dan.
