Altech's Ibiza, Replacement Is Here! Can You Guess What It Is? Pg 33

I've had the car for nearly 6 months and have done a few bits to it,
Here's how it looked when i got it, totally standard.





The first mod i did was to paint the calipers. I then wanted 17" alloys as i didn't like the standard wheels. i bought a set of vRS alloys.



The wheels were a bit kerbed and badly corroded, seeing as i wanted to do them a custom colour i set about refurbing them. (i can post a thread of how i did it if anyone's interested)
After hours of sanding and painting the 1st colour came out like this!!!,



wayyy to purple looking for my liking! so i went for another colour, and after a few coats of laquer they came out like this,



Was really pleased with the finish. Let them dry for a week, polished them, took them to get tyres fitted and put them on the car,

continued

Something was missing though, o yeaaa, Cupra bumper!!
I've modified the centre grille to allow the same amount of air to the smic as the standard bumper, so after a lot of drilling and filing! from this,



to this,



Here's a few pics of the car after a good wash today,









Comment please

Cheers for the replies,

Ad Lav - Yeah when i've got the chance i'm going to spray the mirrors gloss black. i quite like the badge as it is, looks like the Seat advertising badge which is what i was going for. Do think it would look a bit more stealthy with a black badge though.

Ibiza 130 tdi - cutting out all the honeycombs took ages! my fingers definitely don't feel the same . well worth the effort as the intercooler will work now

so what plan are you going with now for the bumper?

Ibiza 130 tdi I did think about doing that if I got a Cupra bumper but changed plans.

D4V2K1 - plenty of plans for the future, they'll have to wait untill after xmas as it's normally quite an expensive part of the year for me.

Jamin Berry - i'd love to get it slammed on coilovers, but as it is when i go down my drive the splitter is only about 1" away from the ground.

Ad Lav - you reckon wheel coloured mirrors will look better than gloss black?

Have you got a pic of your car with wheel coloured mirrors?

Hmmm...just had a play on microsoft paint... i've got some paint left over from doing the wheels, might aswell give it a go..won't cost me anything lol
