took these pics today while i was in the titanic quarter in Belfast Harbour where i do some work, these are only rough pics as myself and a few other owners are thinking of going there for a group/individual pic session.
What do you think, scenic enough?

whats your job brend. Importer??? Dealer??? ;)
From the 3rd picture down, looks like I now know why the other half took so long at the recycling place getting rid of the glass bottles. :D
Looks like it's been as nice in Belfast as it's been in Yorkshire today.
Nice motor brendy

haha no that was me emptying the passenger seat footwell!
soooo much glass there, that was only the tip of it. Weather is atrocious here at the moment, last night was really funny, snobby neighbour got the fireworks out and he was lucky if they were making the roof level of the house before getting blown horizontally away! haha

Brendy I think you drink too much...
If you look carefully you can just see Jase's hand sticking out from the bottles.

Good pictures, Brendy.
The main picture in this last post would have been superb if the car had been at an angle rather than head-on.
cordobabrendy
31-10-2005, 21:35
didnt have it from as far back but this kinda thing?
im well impressed with the industrial thing, if youve ever been there you can see wherer the titanic was built along with brand new offices and some of the old drawing rooms from the 19th century are all side by side.

Hid dipped vs philips uprated vision plus, makes them look positively orange in comparison.

07-05-2006, 17:00
John, yea theyve relocated and moved most of their servers to us here in belfast.
Andy we're not away until the 15th, plenty of time.
how did you get on with lowering and the drive brend? minimum drop is 30 mm on FK's is it not
Must go up there someday to take some photos when I eventually get some modifications done lol

jase, no problems so far, the car isnt even at full height extension (about 3/4 from the top, another inch or so left). saying that i always reverse in anyway, so i might "try" driving straight in, it normally rubs on the front of the skirts as the front wheels drop down off the path onto my driveway.
there is easily a good 3-4 inches of adjustment jase, go for it. (mate sells them with a few days delivery, not weeks/months)
not holding my breath on koni FSD's but if they do catch i'm in the shit,my drive is like a speed hump,3-4k to sort that though :(

:) Love the pics Brend, very different........
cordobabrendy
13-10-2006, 21:41
side lights daz? those side lights are already the philips blue vision ones, std ones were virtually orange, these do actually look white in the dark.
And for the diesel quip?? How very dare you!
cheers vern, youre about again these days, youd gone a bit quiet recently, everything good these days again?

The promotion has played havok with my surf time lol:D i read here most days, just not much time to post....... seen enough Excel today to last all year, so i thought i would chill for a bit:blink:
side lights pic (http://groups.msn.com/FLAPPERSPLANET/projectibiza.msnw?action=ShowPhoto&PhotoID=898)
sorry about the diesel ;) couldnt resist :lol:
the side lights looked standard to me - sorry :doh:
Looks good Brendy - splitter sets it off nicely.
Not sure about the chrome mirrors though, TBH.
Edit: I got some "superbright" LED sides the other day (autobulbsdirect.co.uk (https://www.autobulbsdirect.co.uk/product.php?productid=16702&cat=612&page=1)), much better than the four LED ones I had (and one of them slowly failed until only one LED worked). Really bright with a single point of light.
very nice pics brendy... fancy yourself as a bit of a photographer do you;) I never realized how good queens island could look in a pic when you stick a cupra in the foreground.
WHAT A COMPLETE DISREGARD FOR THE LAW:lol: no parking at anytime sign and 2 sets of yellow lines:cop: :cartman:

keys were still in the ignition so technically i was waiting! haha
If I was to get clamped, which side would be done, the kerb side...err or the other kerbside!
if you look 'closely'.. the yellow lines are broken.. point of law means they are invalid ... ;)..

nice try
removeable objects do not count(road gullies).we always put covers back on the wrong way round though,just to annoy;)
look just beyond the drain cover.. line is missing off tarmac... and on 'nearside(passenger) of the car. missing off tarmac just forward of the car .. I'd fight the thing all the way for that ;)
i think you must feel a lucky F*ucker to have a Leon with a sunroof!!!!
although both our cars have climate, i still miss that "tilt" opportunity :(
on the flipside of bein dirty, at some point during the winter, someone will undoubtedly post a "show us pics of your dirty cars" thread, that's why i've decided that i'm not gonna wash mine now til at least February :funk:
The new Beeza will be washed everyday if need be, but the Pug is gonna get minging this winter.
I say, bring on the grit lorries, 75 miles a day motorway return trip to work and back, that should do the trick :think:

nope , lee (MUDDYBOOTS) will still beat you , fella has an uncanny ability to filth up a car

Poor brakes and a car looming large on the front bumper dictated i changed pedals!!
Xmas will see the braking situation sorted
cordobabrendy
11-11-2006, 17:46
washed it? it was a spur of the moment pic and it was clean, just a little brake dust. I think the picture is nice, a bit of photoshop wonderwork on the colour ageing on an otherwise great pic if I dont say so myself.
And yea it is faster :cartman:

Couple of pics taken today, its the first time in a month that I have had a chance to blow the cobwebs off and she happened to be moderately clean too.

I havent posted in here in a while so thought id update.
After a small bit of correction and a bloody good scrub (thanks to detail NI) shes come up looking quite well, interior is like new again too. anyone in NI looking their SEAT or whatever cleaned up like new, contact ryan via the detail ni site, £95 quid offer at the moment for interior and exterior refresh.
Took it for its MOT tonight and it passed with no work done whatsoever except for a 75p brakebulb. Amazing, emissions were silly low with 6 parts per million CO2!! amazing when its got a fair bit of parts and revo II and a standard 2.0tfsi gives off 399ppm iirc.
First pic is while she in getting buffed. The old girl was looking that well, the guy who buffed her said he'd like to buy it if it was for sale! Ive not been this happy with the motor in a long time as the missus uses it now as a school run car and its done a whopping 2200 miles this year. What a waste.

car looks uber clean mate!! wheels look white in the photo! would love to get my car detailed properly, but in my opinion, getting it detailed in this weather seems a waste as you drive it down the road and its filthy!! :(
cant wait for the first hot weather again..good opportunity to giver her a dam good clean!!

They are silver original colour, the pic was a tiny bit overexposed due to the gray skies but they are virtually spotless. Getting it done now means any dirt that sticks to it can be hosed off rather than rubbed off which causes the swirl marks.
Id nearly forgotten how well the red looked fully cleaned up.
