Mark's mk3 Ibiza, mk5 Ibiza mk2 Leon FR - NEW CUPRA 300 Ordered

Cheers guys! It's getting there... slowly. Skirts have deffo improved it, and it certainly looks quite different from how it looked when I bought it, but it's still not up to the levels of greatness I achieved with the mk3!

I think it would look great if it was a bit lower, but that'll have to wait, can't justify changing the springs yet. Might go for a set of decent coilovers eventually

Next thing to happen will be the vinyl wrapping of the rear bumper where the number plate is, that'll happen in the next couple of week.

Then possibl a remap around March time once the warranty is up.
Also very tempted by the LED tail lights from the facelift Ibiza

I'm wild slow at modding!

New car time!

The Ibiza has gone! Picked this up at the beginning of the month.

Don't have many pics because the weather has been abysmal here.
But I'll get her washed soon and get more pics up

Hi Mark,

Hope your well! Car is looking great side skirts make such a difference.

Can I ask how much the cupra black headlight were? 140 for both or is it more ta.

Only saw this now Max sorry about that.
It was 140 for the pair, came with bulbs and everything, so it was a straight swap.
Think they're up in price now though

Not much, I've got the armrest for the interior.
Looking to vinyl wrap the front bumper where the FR logo is, and then maybe get it remapped.
First time I've had a car that's been relatively sporty as standard, so don't know what else I'll do.
Can't really afford to do much else to it at the moment anyway.

Some slightly better pics of the Leon, bit dark though.








Must get some pics of the interior because the leather seats look class!

Haha Jordan! It was a bit of an impulse purchase but i freakin love it!
Strangely it seems to be more economical than te 1.6 TDI in the Ibiza!

Fitted the RNS510 last weekend, and enabled a few goodies with vag com such as optical parking sensors (where it shows you on the RNS510 which sensors are detecting obstacles)
It's the VW version with the SD card slot, version P and has full 7 digit post code search and works perfectly with the USB/Aux and Bluetooth that was already in the Leon.

All in all a great piece of kit and well worth the money, can be got relatively cheaply on eBay these days, certainly comparable with aftermarket double din units from the likes of Pioneer, and I think the RNS is worth it for the integration.


Think I'll just keep adding to this thread rather than create a new one, kinda nice to have my car history all in once place!

So for the first time ever in my six years of being on the site, I have finally done a "performance" mod!
Took the Leon to Steven and Harry at Performance 360 for a stage 1 Revo remap.
All I can say is WOW.

Latest mod

Just need to replace the FR badge

Looking well, if I do say so myself.
