Andybon's ibiza mk4...Bye bye car :'( Pg 8

[Andybon]

Been neglecting the ibiza lately, hasnt been cleaned properly since the beginning of november. Gave it a good wash, clay bar and used one of my christmas prezzies, the meguires deep crystal 3 step polish. Heres the pics!

[Ibiza 130 tdi]

Looking good! :) Meguiars is alright stuff. :D

[Andybon]

I used some of their stuff before on a previous car, and was impressed, but carried on using auto glym, Now ive been converted to megs, really happy with the shine!

[pauliepaul]

i do love that blue colour, i was close to buying a blue one but it didn't check out :(

needs to hit the deck with those rims though ;)

[Andybon]

Thats on the to do list, will only be going 35mm with the speedbumps around the area.

[Andybon]

Painted the front calipers red today, will do the rears next weekend, and give the fronts another coat.
All i will say is i got more on the driveway than on the actual clipers. Was very runny.

[josh263uk]

Lookig good.

Will be washing, claying and waxing (all meguires) mine tomorrow, ready for its trip abroad.

Where you going bud?

I thought Autoglym was just as good as good as Meguiars. But I was proven wrong yesterday as I used some of my Meguiars Carnuba Wax and I'm back in love! :D

Off to France for a week to see the other half, back in the UK for 2 night shifts and of course the Meet (which I am starting to feel nervous about :blink:)

[chrissyb103]

liking the colour mate, deck it though!

Haha! It's only Sofageeza you wanna be nervous of! She's a woman with man parts! ;)

I've only ever met mattcogg1981. And that was ages ago. :headhurt:

[a_waugh]

I really like that colour.

looks fantastic mate. Some shine off it.

[Andybon]

Thanks

Sadily it isnt like this anymore :cry:

2 or three trips up the motorway and its hanging again now, looks like i will be doing it all again on sunday, hung over. Weather permitting!!!

[Ninja]

mmm shiny :)

[cardaft]

Thats really smart, like the wheels [B)]

[Andybon]

Thanks

Sadily I may be selling to finance a project ive got on my mind. So maybe looking for a smaller, cheaper car so i can go ahead with it.

But when I see these pics it makes me want to keep it!

[Hmans3]

wow looks nice

[Andybon]

Quick update, will be keeping the car now, and added a few bits too

got a badgeless fk grille yesterday, fitted it this morning

http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f34/andybon123/Seat%20Ibiza/P2240026.jpg

And a new alpine headunit, althought it was fitted the other week!

http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f34/andybon123/Seat%20Ibiza/P2240029.jpg

Next plans are for the windows to be tinted, lowered on some coilovers, cupra front and rear bumpers, colour coded bump strips and a smooth boot.

[jamie paton]

very nice mate.

[paulhdi]

lovely colour car there mate. when you get a bit low on the meguiars stuff, try getting some clearkote red machine glaze, or the yellow creme wax, and top with the carnauba moose wax. gives blue that colour a very deep, wet look. my last 206 was near enough same colour and that was the best look i got from it.
the carnaube moose wax lasts longer than the megs stage 3 too.

paul

[Andybon]

Thanks

Happy with the results i get from the megs stuff. Only have to do it once a month, unlike when i used auto glym, nearly every week.
Ive noticed that sometimes it comes up purple in the sun, like theres a slight flip in the paint, looks very trick for a standard colour

[Andybon]

Added some new touches today

Got a badgeless fk grille for the bargain price of £20, fitted it straight away

http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f34/andybon123/Seat%20Ibiza/P2240028.jpg

http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f34/andybon123/Seat%20Ibiza/P2240026.jpg

New alpine headunit with bluetooth and ipod

http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f34/andybon123/Seat%20Ibiza/P2240029.jpg

Also fitted a glovebox light and an holder for the ipod in the glovebox

http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f34/andybon123/Seat%20Ibiza/P3140047.jpg

And an armster armrest off ebay

http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f34/andybon123/Seat%20Ibiza/P3140048.jpg

;)

[provocation]

nice and decent, i am looking forward to continue with modifications ;)

[Andybon]

Thanks, just waiting on a few other little bits, and a bit more money to carry on, looks like more overtime for me :cry:

[rich.h44]

Looking good,iv always used auto glym an have just got the high defanition wax,might change 2 maguiers because yours dose look sweet!

[Andybon]

The picture with the grille was taken 3 weeks after I polished it, and it still looked shiny, only needs doing once a month now, just gets washed every week!

[Ibiza 130 tdi]

Thanks, just waiting on a few other little bits, and a bit more money to carry on, looks like more overtime for me :cry:

What are these other bits then? :D

[Andybon]

Got a sunglasses holder that goes in the space of the grab handle, and some new hid bulbs (got some 6k, instead of 10k), and then saving up for the windows to be tinted (light smoke all around), lowered 40mm, cupra bumpers then anything else I see, Stuck for ideas then :blink:

Cupra headlining kit, dash bling maybe? Gearknob/air vent surrounds? Nice exhaust? Panel fiter? :D

[Matty.]

any more pictures on the arm rest?

might look into getting one but dont know yet
does it get in the way of the handbreak?
whats it like?

etc

[Andybon]

Cupra headlining kit, dash bling maybe? Gearknob/air vent surrounds? Nice exhaust? Panel fiter? :D


Already got a panel filter in, got a pipercross one. Seen some rings that go around the vents that I may get and some that go in front and behind the ger stick. Unsure about an exhaust as i cant see any for the 1.4 16v, but would like a nice oval one. What does the cupra headlining look like?

Also the armrest does get in the way of the handbrake when its down, all i do is put my arm around it and pull it up, it can be tilted back and put out of the way. The top slides forward and back, also it can be adjusted for height slightly with a dial underneath.

[Damoegan]

And an armster armrest off ebay

http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f34/andybon123/Seat%20Ibiza/P3140048.jpg

;)

Same armrest as mine :thumbup:

[Ibiza 130 tdi]

What does the cupra headlining look like?


Black! ;)

I've heard if you put the diesel exhausts on the petrols it sounds quite nice! :)

Cos you have one less silencer on the diesels. :D

[Andybon]

Couldnt be bothered with messing around with a headlining, too much hard work.
Wouldnt the diesel exhausts be a different bore, or are they all the same size?

[Ibiza 130 tdi]

Couldnt be bothered with messing around with a headlining, too much hard work.
Wouldnt the diesel exhausts be a different bore, or are they all the same size?

I'd imagine probably bigger. I think the tdi's are 2.5 inch bore. But like I say - the diesel system has only one silencer whereas the petrols have two. So it would make it louder and still be genuine SEAT parts. :)

[Andybon]

The sunglasses holder came today all the way from the usa!

Only problem is my uber cool sunglasses wont fit in :cry:

:roflmao:

[CHR15B]

Looking good mate, that's one of my favourite colours for the Mk4. :)

[Andybon]

Thanks for the comments so far

Yet more spending on the beeza over the last month

Firstly had it serviced at a local independent vag garage, JVW in Haydock, top bloke

Also added a new richbrook aeriel as some theiving little g1t nicked the standard one (Even though i would like to kick their teeth in, I also would like to shake their hand for getting it off and not damaging the car)

http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f34/andybon123/Seat%20Ibiza/P4230057.jpg

Also got a set of wind deflectors off ebay

http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f34/andybon123/Seat%20Ibiza/P4230053.jpg

http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f34/andybon123/Seat%20Ibiza/P4230055.jpg

Next up is to sort the little niggles out, mainly the anti roll bar knocking, and the faulty lambda sensor, then in for the windows to be tinted (light smoke all around)

[Andybon]

Got bored when i got in from work, Didn't like how long the aeriel was so cut it down a bit. Heres how it ended up

http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f34/andybon123/P4240057.jpg

Looks good but it does sod all for the signal for the radio :rolleyes:

[Ibiza 130 tdi]

You'd maybe be better getting a Honda aerial then bud? :shrug:

They're bumpy but dont cut your signal I believe.

[Andybon]

Like the look of this one, also its on pretty tight with some loc tight on.

[kenny_fr]

Nah i would get an extra short aerial from a vauxhall omega facelift is
about an inch long had one on my old fiesta and signal is still great with it.

Cars looking good is there much more mods that you are going to do?

[Andybon]

For the moment it will be have the windows tinted (light smoke all around), lower it 35mm, colourcode the rub strips and fit some facelift bumpers.

[Adam8747]

looks very nice mate, especially the wheels

[Andybon]

Thanks

Just playing around with ideas with the wheels at the moment, was thinking of going a different colour

[PriceyFR]

Looking well mate, that colours gorgeous :)

[Andybon]

Wasnt sure on the colour, but only ever seen one around here, and that was in the seat dealers

[bertrum]

I had an '02 Ibiza 1.2 s and had the same anti-roll bar knockin. Go down to your dealer and ask about the recall on the roll bars - think I got it done on warranty!

[Andybon]

Mine is well out of warranty now, Got a price at a local place to have it done. Goes in on wednesday for it and a faulty lambda sensor.

[bertrum]

So was mine, because of the recall it has to be done free of charge - even out of your standard warranty.

[Andybon]

Might give that a try, will give them a ring in the morning

[Andybon]

Not taken any pictures of it recently, added a few other bits. Hope you like :)

[kenny_fr]

cars looking good in the pics really like the last one would look amazing slammed.:funk:

[Andybon]

Thanks

Will be lowered after I have finished my bike test :D

[Ibiza 130 tdi]

They 18's or 17's?

[bertrum]

Does look nice mate! How did it go with the anti-roll bars? Think new style rear wiper or aerowiper is in order tho?!

[Matty.]

Or de-wipered? :)

Cars looking good though :) Keep it up!

[Andybon]

Car goes in tomorrow night for them to be done. Will be £150 lighter though :cry:

Looking to get an aero one in the near future.

[Andybon]

Sorted all the niggles out, and today sorted out my subs. Fitted these a while ago

http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f34/andybon123/DSC00064.jpg

With the new toy added too

http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f34/andybon123/DSC00062.jpg

Just need to sort out a decent set of components, and a better amp (4 channel) and im sorted

[Andybon]

Spent 2 hours fitting this to the ibiza today, Was fiddly to say the least. Its a leon cupra r splitter, See what you think.

[Andybon]

http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f34/andybon123/DSC00118.jpg

Going to do the other side tomorrow

[Matty.]

Pics aint working mate :)

[danmay]

you stole my M6 autobahn sticker idea! :lol:

those wheels are 18" aren't they, they look mahoosive.

LCR splitter is a quality mod, had one on my pre-facelift and now my facelift bumper, cheap and effective!

[Andybon]

There only 17", sometimes they look big, but others they look small, well they do to me, lol

[Matty.]

Smooth over the rub strips at the same time! :D

[Andybon]

Was going to, but looked, and it looked too plain. Going to colourcode them

[Matty.]

Why were you doing this anyway? Sorting out some bashes or scratches?

[Andybon]

All sprayed up now. Heres a few pics

http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f34/andybon123/DSC00119.jpg

Will be unmasked, and finished tomorrow

[Andybon]

Why were you doing this anyway? Sorting out some bashes or scratches?

Yeah, it was full of them, plus an extremely poor attempt at touching up. Wasnt even blue paint, more like black :censored:

[Ibiza 130 tdi]

Haha! They're the same blooomin pics! ;)

Get email notifications for both threads on both forums! :D

[Andybon]

copy and past working a treat :lol:

[Ibiza 130 tdi]

copy and past working a treat :lol:

I gathered! :D

haha!

Nice work anyway bud!

[lil3520]

very nice motor.
love the wheels.
look forward to seeing the pictures after the respray.

[Andybon]

Its now sat on the drive, getting saoking wet. Hopefully it will stop raining tomorrow so i can give it a final buff over, and refit the bump strips. Also got a new camera so will give that a try

[Andybon]

All finished now, just waiting to give it a bit of a polish

[lil3520]

looks great.

did you respray it ?

[Matty.]

Is it ment to be purple? :)

[Andybon]

Was me and my dad who did it, I mucked in where I could.

Its the way the camera was taking the pics, took them on my phone. Will get some better ones when my d40 arrives :D

[Matty.]

Ah right cool mate :)

Its a real nice shade of blue anyway, looks like a purple tint type thing to it

Any plans for whats next?

[Ibiza 130 tdi]

Someone's sprayed it purple! haha! must be your camera. ;)

Nice work Andy and Mr Andy's dad.

[Andybon]

Thanks.

Finally finished it all off this morning, Buffed it all up, gave it a good polish with the megs 3 step and back to blacked the black bits.

Next its a new exhaust with twin 3" pipes, Lowered 35mm, Windows tinted and a personalised plate.

[crezz]

are you both in that profession or just able to borrow someones booth?

[Andybon]

I make window frames and just have a dabble now and again, where as my dad has been doing it since he left school. Hes not long off retiring. He had to ask very nicely where he works if we could use the booth after work to do it.

[danmay]

i like the chrome handles and the respray has come out well!

suprised you didnt do the rear valance the same colour while you were at it!

[Andybon]

Thats getting changed for one with the exhaust cut out. Also it would have looked odd with the front not been colour coded

[danmay]

/\ i had the back done and not the front, with the splitter it looks ok actually

[Andybon]

Not been on in a while, as i've had other commitments. Basically this is how the car stands now

http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f34/andybon123/Seat%20Ibiza/DSC_0031.jpg

Future plans are

Light smoked windows all around
Lowered 40mm
Aero rear wiper (Just ordered)
LED Registration plate lights (Just ordered)
LED boot, interior and glovebox light (Just ordered)
Twin backbox or oval
Front and rear Mudflaps
Chrome interior bits (Heater vent rings, and gear gaitor surround)
And a personalised Reg plate off the parents for my bday (Looking at T26 BON at the minute)
And a very good clean again (To get it as it is in the pics, as it hasnt been done in 3 months!)

[Ibiza 130 tdi]

Can i just say been there done that with the LED lights. It's not worth it. I had the LED number plate lights and they couldn't have lasted a month. The LED glovebox light is useless - really doesn't light the glovebox up at all. Looks nice, but it's USELESS.

Keep your eye on the number plate lights or you might get pulled by the fuzz.

[lil3520]

love the wheels and the chrome mirrors.

how much did you pay for the chrome mirrors ?

[Andybon]

The chrome mirrors where already on the car when i got it.
As for the LEDs, ill give them a go, and if they dont look any good, or dont work as well i'll go back to the standard ones, A bit of trial and error! :doh:

[Clone]

Now thats one clean car! Looking very nice indeed!

[Andybon]

I need to get it looking like that again, It hasnt been washed since trax, and that was a few weeks ago :whistle:

[bertrum]

Looks tiiiidy mate, get it on its arse :p Have you thought about facelift rear lights? The darker red ones!

[george130]

Car looks tidy, i like :)

Looks tiiiidy mate, get it on its arse :p Have you thought about facelift rear lights? The darker red ones!

There are darker red rear lights? I thought there was only the red lights (like above) and ones with a white/silver background?

[bertrum]

Car looks tidy, i like :)



There are darker red rear lights? I thought there was only the red lights (like above) and ones with a white/silver background?

Facelift have darker red lights... click my sig mate!

[AndrewJB]

aup mate cars looking good ,you came our first cheshire meet didnt you??

[Andybon]

Will be going down 40mm, as there are some large speedhumps where i live :(

Think i did, was it in stoke, the pub just down the road from the ford dealers (Cant remember the name of it)

[AndrewJB]

yeh mate thats the one!

we had a meet recently theres about 15 of us now and growing by the day

mines been remaped now and coilovers coming this week

[Andybon]

Sounds good, Not had the chance to do anything lately, Will have to keep an eye out for the next meet!

[Andybon]

Fitted the aero rear wiper, Just need to trim the cap so it doesnt keep popping off, and the led reg plate lights, Kept the interior ones for spare as they didn't light up very well in the car.

Ordered the rear valance with the exhaust cut out and pick that up on monday, along with a tempory tip until i get a backbox

[AndrewJB]

theres a kind ameet up your way saturday

awesome gti rolling road day

some of the lads from down here are going im not im working

[Andybon]

What time does it start, may pop along and try my new camera out

[AndrewJB]

not sure have a look on awesome gtis website or there is a thread on here somewhere

[Andybon]

Just seen it then, Should make it, but the car is still a mess, so sadily it will be looking a little sorry for itself :redface:

[AndrewJB]

mines white at the moment lol coz of all the snow we had

[Andybon]

Mine is white inside from work, Full of plastic dust, and grey outside with all the road dust :lol:

[Andybon]

Yet more things done

Booked it in for the windows to be tinted today, Having a light smoke done all around, Gets done next friday. Will get pics up of the other bits after ive given it a good clean

[AndrewJB]

wudnt advise on having the fronts done

one of the lads at the last meet you came had fully back on back and a very light tint at the front

he got pulled and ordered to rip of the front ones

[Andybon]

Back from the rolling road day at awesome, Decided to put my car on just to see how it did.

http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f34/andybon123/scan0001.jpg

Did 110bhp at the fly on the second run, which i was quite impressed with as it only has a Pipercross panel filter on it :D


Also the tints, Its going light on the front (Only very slight) and darker on the rear, To make the fronts look lighter if you know what i mean.

[Andybon]

Heres the pics

[AndrewJB]

how easy was the polo wiper? require trimming?

u missed the meet today mate was very wet

[Andybon]

Was pretty easy, onee 13mm nut, a good tug and it came off. All that is needed is a rub down oth the bottom with some sandpaper and jobs a goodun!

I only got up at about half one, and when i did i still felt drunk from last night. Only got in at about 6am, :lol:

[Andybon]

Fitted the chrome vents, gaitor trims and red cupra vent handles. was a bit of a pain but got there in the end.

[Andybon]

Disaster

Went to pick a mate up on saturday night, was turning right when a woman decided to try and get past me. Car ended up like this

http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f34/andybon123/DSC00266.jpg

http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f34/andybon123/DSC00267.jpg

Just very pissed off at the moment [:@]

[george130]

Ouchh! I guess its all been contained to one panel so that'll keep the cost down... I assume your claiming from her?

[brad1]

just new door so you can offer her to go through her insurance or get her to pay, for a new door and get it sprayed it fitted, but I would be pi55ed off to mate, gutted for you

sorry to heare about that mate, never nice to crash your car whether it be a big or small accident!

atleast, as the others have said the damage appears to be contained to the drivers door so shudnt be much hassle to replace!

[Andybon]

The damage was the door mainly, with a bit to the sill. Also the hinges where bent too. Got her a quote and now its going through her insurance. Gets picked up tomorrow and i get a courtesy car for a few weeks while its away

[Ibiza 130 tdi]

At least the work is getting done quickly....

And the damage could've been MUCH worse. I'd be glad it is a removable panel and not the welded rear quarter. Hope it gets sorted soon.

[Andybon]

This is what the woman from the insurance told me. My car will be collected tomorrow and a courtesy car dropped off (On a like for like basis). Then mine will be taken to a garage (One i have already sorted out), and an engineer will look at it, then an estimate will be made next week, Then as soon as the go ahead is given the work is done and i get my car back (depending on how good the courtesy car is :lol: )

[crezz]

mate i hope you have more success then me..im waiting on them to ok the estimate bill for mine...and still witing....and still waiting....all this time its costing them a hire car..already about £500 for that

[Andybon]

Im hoping not, Only had the hire car for a few hours and its pissing me off, keep fit windows, uncomfy seats and smells like piss inside, and its only a few weeks old. Looks like its never been hoovered inside either

[Damoegan]

What car is it?

[Andybon]

1.2 polo on a 58 plate

[Andybon]

Kidding mate, maybe save up for the MK5 if your thinking of changing it?
Or facelift bumpers? Engine stuff? Lowered?

[Andybon]

Get yourself a 130> diesel Ibiza. believe me, you'll love it. My mate is insured on his dad's brand new 58 plate Jaguar X-type sport. Notice the word "Sport." Mine beats it! :D

Pocket rocket ftw! :thumbup:

[Andybon]

As of Saturday, I will be stripping it of all the bits I have put on. Only parts that will be left are the wheels, windoew tints and lowering springs. Going to be moving over to bikes now as i've just passed my bike test, and hopefully it will be swapped for a nice shiny bike.

I never thorght this day would come so soon :cry:

I think the bike would be quicker, Just not as practical :lol:

[AndrewJB]

Bikes arent practical

got bike and car and bike only comes out in summer lol

[Clone]

Agree with the above comment. Actually thinking of selling mine in the summer to fund some car mods/money towards a holliday.

[Gooner_Mike]

Shame about your car pal. I would be interested in your springs if you are getting rid!

[Andybon]

At the minute, the car is just sat on the drive doing next to nothing all day, probably only does 10-15 miles a week as work is only a mile away, plus the missus drives everywhere now.

The bike will be my playtoy and on the odd day to go to work and back on. May just get a cheap runaround in a few months, something that i wouldnt really care about.

[Clone]

I'd be interested in the grill if it's for sale mate.

[Andybon]

There will be a for sale thread in the classifieds with the bits i have took off very soon.

Heres a few pics of how the car ended up.

Got half way through and had to think why i was doing it all :(

[Ibiza 130 tdi]

Got half way through and had to think why i was doing it all :(

Cos you want to end up with loads of metal plates instead of bones, getting soaking wet in the rain and knocked off a modified push bike because people "just didn't see you."

:lol:

[brightsideteeem]

so have you sold it now mate??

Just wondering who did ya window tints?

[Andybon]

Deposit has been taken on it, Really gutted to see it go. Really sad to see it go :cry:

It was the Tint wizard in Kirkby that did it, Did a fantastic job, Can't fault it at all.

Well, Will be moving on to my new toy now

http://www.corsasport.co.uk/carimages/7643/kut1.jpg

Hope you like!!!

[Andybon]

Has anyone seen this car around, Would like to see how it looks now!

Hopefully it hasn't been stripped or written off!!!

[BeezaDave]

i know the car is gone but i was wondering if you could tell me if those are just chrome handle covers or what???

im sure the car is fine :D

[Andybon]

They where just the stick on covers. Think at the time it was a small fortune to buy the chrome handles, So i settled for the covers.

Think they where about £14 off ebay. Mine where the proper metal ones aswell, Not the cheaper plastic ones.

I think i still have a couple spare (as they come for a 4 door car) lying around some where.

[BeezaDave]

thanks for the info. must get me a set. :)

what are you driving now?? :confused:

[Andybon]

At the minute I have

Astra SRI

And for the fun

Kawasaki ZX-6R J1.

http://www.corsasport.co.uk/carimages/8865/pic_south.jpg

Sadily the car had to go to make way for the bike. It's alot more fun than the car!

[BeezaDave]

wow, i dont know anything about bikes but that looks impressive :lol:

[Andybon]

Best one i could find. Took me over 8months of looking, Its like a new bike even though its just over 10 years old!

[brightsideteeem]

wow, thats in good nick for 10years old!
