When you have to cover the ecu up in the scuttle panel other wise it get wet and you have to put in the airing cupboard to dry out
 
- when your cupra badge starts to say "up"
- when the passenger window goes all the way down with one touch and you have to hold the drivers side down

First one is VERY annoying!

Second I'm sure you will just have to reprogram it.

When you can't open your glove box because the pissy flimsy handle came off in your hand, but then you realsise you can if you have skinny fingers, and don't bother replacing it.

My mate kindly did that for me! But did the same! :lol:

When you have the car three days before it's being fixed again!

when you keep over revving because the clutch bites right near the top of the clutch stroke

when your boss asks "What size alloys are those, 12"" when you pull into work :D

when you take a picture from the front of the car and suddenly realise one mirrors bigger than the other

when you can't keep the bleeding thing clean! Maybe thats just my black one :p

(As has already been said) When you find out your seat is ACTUALLY a audi/VW soup... and STILL people take the pi55 for it being spanish!

When none of your friends can open the boot. They really are amazed when you show them aren't they :p

When, once inside the boot, they say "You could fit a dead body in here."

when the stupid sales assistant swears blind that theres a subwoofer under the back seats :lol:

When you wish you had a more common car so that guides, parts, eBay searches were more available.

when you have dashboard lights for sidelights.

When you join SCN :D:D

and finally, When you post in a thread named 'You know you have a mk3 Ibiza when....'

As said before - when you show people how to open the boot and they stand there messing about with it in wonder for the next half hour.

When you're boyfriend moans because you're got a cream interior mirror and his is the standard black one!

When you spend most of yours and (after some arm twisting) your other halfs spare time fixing the seemingly endless list of slightly broken things on the cupra...but still love the car unconditionally [B)]

When the rear wiper starts by itself and just keeps on wiping until you press the stalk to make it start the wash/wipe the operation which then - eventually makes it STOP ...... for a while.

When telling a girl what car you have you just tell them its a golf
When handling is compromised of a random mix of under and oversteer
When your wipers just dont wipe
When you have to explain why your headunit is under the steering wheel
When your central locking only works in your garage but never in the street
When theres a hole in the carpet under the clutch
When you lend your mates the car and they cant start it (Apparently the immobiliser is odd?)
When you take a plastic trim panel off and know its never going back on again because you broke the clips.
When you buy parts off polos and golfs at vw shows and think "That should fit", spend hours trying to bodge it, and then realise you broke the original part. But at least you get the ebay feedback.
1.4 only : When 5000rpm is "cruising"
