Got my facelift bumpers on, really happy with how they look, they were just a nightmare to get aligned properly! One problem with it now though is that I really have to slam the boot hard to get it to shut properly unfortunately

No problem at all! I got them off a Seat that was up on eBay for breaking. Managed to pick them up for £100 for the front and back

Just a picture to show the current differences between when I got the car to what it looks like now. Pretty happy with how it looks but if I get round to it I'd love to lower it!

Little update on the car, was driving up to Scotland in it the other week and heard a huge bang. Couldn't see or feel anything wrong with it so kept driving. Yesterday I was driving along when the front left spring decides to break and the top coil falls out of the car, which makes me think that the huge bang the other week was something to do with the spring... makes an absolutely horrendous noise when going over bumps now! Just thought I'd include a nice pic I took of it the other day too.

Loving the mods

I have a 1.2 Ibiza SX 2005 myself and I'm wanting to also upgrade it cosmetically. Do the facelift bumpers just fit straight on? I'm guessing you got them off a 1.4 Ibiza? Thanks!

Yeah they just fit directly on, no modifications needed when I put mine on, there was a couple of screws on the underside of the rear bumper I was unable to get back in but all of the other screws fit in perfectly and it is securely held in place!

Cheers. I'll be on the lookout for a pair then. As for your new headlights where did you purchase them and was that a simple swap?

No worries! I got the headlights off of another Ibiza that was up for breaking. As for fitting the headlights it was a piece of cake, just take the front bumper off and unbolt the old headlights and bolt the new ones in. But getting the lights working properly was a bit of a pain as the dipped beam bulb was turning off when I flicked the hi beams on. In the morning I'll find the guide that I used to get them wired up properly for you :)

That would be a big help thanks!



The guide I used is on another readers ride thread on this forum. Basically if you look for a readers ride under the name of Blanco92's MK4 Ibiza I think it's called and scroll a fair way down you will find a post on there about how to wire up the twin reflector headlamps. Took me a bit of time to get my head round it but once I'd figured it out it took about 2hrs to wire it up properly and get it all working. Also used this wiring diagram for reference too...

Well I unfortunately said goodbye to the Ibiza yesterday, the car needed a bit of work doing to it; front springs needed replacing, new coil pack needed, reverse sensor thing was broken (car didn't know when it was in reverse or not), engine was making a horrible rattling/grating noise when idling and general bits of rust and scrapes all around. Picked up a Fiesta Zetec S and was very sad to see the Ibiza go! Was probably one of the best first cars I could've asked for in my opinion!
