[gazbo88]

after numerous amounts of painstaking hours researchings on the internet looking for a new car i discovered the ibiza 1.9 tdi fr and fell in love straight away! i can not wait to get one. it looks amazing in black and especially red i was wondering though as i am still a newbie and to all this i would really appriciate your knowledge. i have bout 5500k to spend which is the best Fr i can get for this money and which one comes with the fr interior you know like steering wheel and gear knob .... your advice would be very much appriciated as i just want the best for my long saved money!

Im afraid my knowledge is not very vast LOL but i can try and help.

I recently bought a 54 plate (pre facelift) FR tdi. I paid 4750 for it, its got 44000 miles and full seat service history. As far as FR badges etc i think its abit hit and miss, mine has got one on the back, 1 on each side by the window and one on the speedometer along with leather steering wheel and gear nob and sports seats etc.

However i believe the post facelift ones have more? i think some of them (depending how new) have the FR badge on the steering wheel, slightly different clocks, on the seats, different gear nob etc. However they are more expensive (well when i was looking). Also hove different wheels etc

Its really a case of choosing which one you want, of just settling for either and finding the right one for you.

Dont know if thats any help but its a start

Yeah, if you mean the silver bit on the steering wheel and the gearnob, then thats the facelift one with 17 inch wheels. But they are 06 inwards I think so I doubt you'd get one for less than 6 grand...
