V15NEV's Ibiza Mk3 Project - Cupra Grill, Wind Def's, Vinyl Fitted (Update 08/09/08)

[V15NEV]

Subframes now fitted to the seats all i need to do is whack them in the car, shouldnt be too difficult... (me hopes)

I was thinking of changing the wheels as to refurb them and then have new tyres put on (which i need) i may as well get a new set...

Was thinking of these:

in 17" (205/40/17 Tyres) only £390.00 from motorsport world

Opinions very welcome....

 

[Adam R]

only problem about those is they will be very heavy. look nice though, but im not a fan of having lots of bolt holes in my wheels too!

get these mate help out another member while getting top notch wheels with tyres!http://www.seatcupra.net/forums/showthread.php?t=162709

 

[V15NEV]

i know but they are 16's and i've always felt 16's will just look a bit small... in this case size does matter lol!! i wouldn't go lower than 17 as i feel they fill the arches well...

 

[Myki da Pyki]

Go with your instinct mate an get some 17's. Gota get some that are away from the norm so you'l stand out more mate

 

[Adam R]

something like these ???

 

[Myki da Pyki]

There quite nice adam, would look better in silver tho on him beeza

 

[V15NEV]

HEEELLLOOO ONCE AGAIN, Finally gave the ibiza a good old clean and got some good photos so enjoy!!!

Comments Welcome!

(things now done are the seats and rear spacers, still waitin for the new plates to be delivered)

Spacers...

Seats...

 

[V15NEV]

looks good in blue too lol

 

[V15NEV]

one bad point to the new spacers is a bit of rear arch/rear tyre love making which causes a few squeks lol!! gonna have to dig the old grinder out and have a michael myers moment on the inner rear arches.... maybe next weekend??

 

[Adam R]

looks good mate, love the interior door grab handles

what size spacers are those ?

and your car looks very nice apart from the rear lights

 

[V15NEV]

i know, i know the rear lights arent everyones taste, they arent mine either anymore, i'm sure my standard rears are in the attic of my garage but i'll have to get up there...

The rear spacers are 20mm each side, and they cause a lovely squek when coming down speed bumps etc...

My grab handles were very tatty so i'm ordering some new ones... thanks for pointing that out lol

what are you lowered on ? i have 20mm and i dont have any issues, my mate has just got some 25mm spacers for his mk3 1.6 sport.

also grab handles are about £15 each side for both bits (thats how much i paid)

 

[V15NEV]

Cool thats not as expensive as i though theyd be...

Its lowered 40mm, with 17" Wheels, like i said, i'm just gonna grind the inner arch out as i can see where its hitting and it just basically a bit of the **** guard that needs removing, refilling & painting, i'd say a few hours work to do it propoerly and while i'm at it i'l hunt those rear lights down...

 

[V15NEV]

just spoke to ted johnson bout the grab handles and they said £32 (which includes VAT & delivery to manchester), this is for passenger & driver sides both bits... Thats is bloody good i think!!

 

[nev]

yeah sounds cheaper than i got mine for. Bearing in mind they are arent a permanent replacements, noticed some small black specks on mine appearing after about a year

 

[CraigW]

Where did you get those seats mate?? They look good. Car looks good, as someone has already said, i dont like the rear lights either.

They stand out abit to much.

 

[Chris3boro]

Looks good, really nice body kit. Not sure about rear lights.

Is that gear knob just a universal one? Is it a screw on or push on?

cheers mate, the gearknob, gaiter and surround are from www.body-kit.com

they are cheap and have quite alot of stuff for the ibiza, its worth a look...

As i have said in previous posts i'm on the hunt for new/used standard rear lights as like most think the current ones are too brash...

Seats are from ebay - sellers id is: thebristolseatcompany - they are based in belguim and were only £119 + £35 del, that includes ibiza specific subframes...

Sure thats the right link mate-just body kits for evos etc on there is the gear knob on our 1.4's a screw on or push on one? Will a ''universal'' one from richbrook etc go straight on? cheers mate
