Excellent, will be good to see you there. Hopefully it'll be a good turn out. There's like 40 members in the NI social group, surely some of them are bound to creep out of the wood work!

I didnt go to the last meet, (weather was crap and my dad roped me into to helping him with some diy) went to the one before that. It was pretty good, though there were only 4 others, lol.

Well I paid £80 for the spoiler and the Cupra grille delivered, so I guess you could say it was £40

In the photos it doesn't look much different, but it's just one of those subtle mods that makes the whole rear car looks so much better.

Photos don't really do it justice

cheers for the comments guys! gave her a polish at the weekend so she's looking very shiny

Plans now are to sort out the brakes! As they're not what I'd call confidence inspiring.

I had to cut the bend off the exhaust and then weld another short piece of straight pipe so the exhaust came outwards towards the bumper and attached the tail pipe to that.

Then I cut the bottom of the bumper out with a jig-saw, wasnt easy!

Hope this helps

I'm guessing it might just be easier to buy a backbox then. Haven't found any which are compatible with the Ibiza MK3 1.4 though

Yeh you'd probably have to get a custom one made. Have a search on the forum for Powerflow

Little update with some new pics.

Spent the weekend doing a bit of cleaning and finished off using Meguires 3 stage cleaner, polish and wax. Probably not the best stuff in the world but it was 3 for 2 in Halfords

Looks well and the photos don't really do it justice as the sun was setting when I took them.

Looks really well mate
Where you get the honey comb grill ?

Needs dropped more !! lol

Does need dropped more, especially at the front because it's on Cupra suspension but the 1.4 engine doesn't weigh it down enough.

It'll do for the time being though, the ride is harsh enough without going any lower.

The grille is from SERE and the mesh at the bottom of the bumper which doesnt really look like mesh in the pics, is off a tractor lol.

Heat them up with a hairdryer and then use a tesco clubcard or similar thing to get in under and peel them off.

Then use a little bit of white spirits to remove the sticky residue and polish over it with a bit of polish.
