I was gonna get the millie evo's first till I saw these..........waited 8 weeks for them to be made.
they look real nice. Will give you a toot if i see you driving around notts
Nice wheels, although IMO your car could do with being about 2-3" lower. Slam it!
White with the skinny black bumpers

Thew,
is that a 1.4 u got?? Wot model?
The front bumper is from a 1.4, I was just admiring the fogs extention u've stuck on the bottom, without changing the whole front bumper :D
Yur Fox's r the newer version of the ones Ive just got, look very nice all the same :D .....could do with a bit of a drop nx ;)
Yeah your right its the 1.4 SXE so no speed which is why I am going for looks :0)
Got a cupra splitter off the net which went straight on then fitted the fogs into it (ice blue ring ones) and then had it sprayed along with the mirrors, skirts and bottom part of the rear bumper.
Next job is either the drop as you suggested or some medium tints.......
I have seen a wicked number plate though N16GGA and considering im black I think this would be quite apt. Its a lot of cash though so I will need to save my pennies for that!
Laters Matt
Lucky you managed to catch a good angle when you fell over! (second pic!)...
Sorry! I know, I know... its meant to be artistic. I'm just being nasty!
Got 16"s on my 1.4 SXE.
Keep curbing them on the ******* big curbs we've got too many of in Plymouth!
Oh well, after I've pimped out all my friends and family, maybe I'll be able to get some 18"s and the custom body kit i've designed made up, sprayed in Rage chromaflair multi-flip paint stuff, re-do my ICE, get some recaros, etc, etc, etc.....
Oh well.
Matt.

How the hell u gonna afford that!!!!!! LOL Yur only 18 :D I could just about afford my mods, but thats with help from Mr.Student Loan ;)
btw - I can get TVR flip paint well cheap ;)
I reckon us SXE and general 1.4 crowd should get 2gether on a track and have sum close racin :p Sod all these guys with 20VT's, 1.8s and 2.0s!!!!
Wots that cry??? Seat*CUPRA* net is wot this site is called? Oh drat!!!! :D
:cheers:

Matt,
ROFL .....that would give yur car a good sense of humour, Id def get it!!! :D However, the police will prob b more inclined to pull u over HAHAHA
Its like round where I live, all these Greek guys get *Chris1* or their surname on their number plates. If I was fully Greek (only 1/2, so Im allowed 2 say this :p) Id get sumfin like BU13BLE :D LOL
Also, keeping the black and blue theme on yur car, I reckon u should try the grill with black mesh, c if it suits it any better than the silver. Just a thought, looks good, I want S.skirts and that splitter!!!!
:cheers:

Phelpsie would win followed by me would be the likely result;) :D :p
Lol Stu.
only cos I have no mechanical sympathy.
more than welcome to come for a play at curby (see link in my sig) - we hopefully should be timing for those who want to be timed.

Matt,
Where'd ya get that splitter from? and how much ???
Looks really smart :D
I'll keep me eyes peeled when I'm in Notts, at Uni in Lboro, so I'm in Notts quite a bit. 1.4s same colour as yours ;) No mods yet though, got plenty lined up for the summer ;)
Cheers,
I got the splitter from ebay for £25 and had it sprayed but I do know where sells em but its in bridgwater, somerset and they are about £50 I think.
Thew,
wasnt difficult to wire up the fogs was it? How have u made the switch inside? Do they just come on when the dipped lights are on anyway?
Ive heard all the wiring is already in place. Always been interested in fogs, since the first Ibiza I test drove had them (1.4s version) but I didnt buy that one.
Mine has all the wiring in place and that has none as std. no switch in cabin, but I'm sure the wire is there somewhere.
It's cheaper to give it to you than have two wiring looms & take it off if that makes sense!
M
They were a bit of a bitch but thats cos the wiring kit that came with them had tiny earth wires......comes with an iluminated switch which I have fitted into one of the bungs between where the window rolldown switches are, looks cool as glows same orange as dash.
cool! I think thats a mod for the near future in which case ;)

I got mine for £750, seen them else where for £699 though.
what tyres do you have? they supplied mine with ventus tyres and the o/s front tyre has a big air bubble in the tread, goin deep enough to see nylon fibres from inside the tyre.

I read about that kinda thing once ........dunno if its bad or not ......I think they said it was *tyre characteristics* .......or was that R-Tec customer service telling me that?!??! :rolleyes:

Got some Yokoholma (spelling?) tyres with mine....requested them as part of the price match promise ;0)
