[Ibiza 130 tdi]

Lovely car! Nice colour too! :) Welcome to the site btw. :wave:

[dave fr]

thanks mate!

[CHR15B]

Very nice, there are some things you can do for the handling if its something you'd like to improve... but I agree the handling isn't the best as standard.

[a_waugh]

Looks good mate. Best colour aswell.

Get yourself some coilovers and it will not only look better lower, but the handling will improve greatly. ;)

[jonjay]

Coilovers and some ARBs will help. Cause the chassis is very good they benefit greatly from upgrades!

[dave fr]

will a strut brace help a lot?cant really do coilovers atm as it will void the warranty![:@] any other suggestions?or buy some n pull them off n back to standard for the servicing?lol

[hon_n_gem]

welcome mate, nice looking motor! yes the strut brace does help imho. im sorta in the same boat, dont fancy too many warrenty voids although i have only got 9 or so months left!

[D4V2K1]

Very nice mate, same as mine :thumbup:

[sudden-impact]

[Altech]

Looking smart mate! Bet those subs weigh a bit! Any more plans for it?

[dave fr]

change my plates back to standard ones now:( as i got stopped with a £30 fine earlier!erm in the long term change the wheels but im unsure as to what to put on it!

[Altech]

lol i was going to say how nice the plates looked. I quite like the FR alloys, but if you do change defo go euro. Wide n deep dished! That's what i want for my next set anyway :)

[dave fr]

i have been thinking ssw mesh 2 maybe!:confused:
