Seat Ibiza (6L): Air suspension and more.....SPLITTING/FOR SALE

Hey people. Here's my hooptie at the wales modified and motorsport show at Chepstow racecourse August 2008. Still a working progress but thought some piccies would be cool.







Current modification:
CAT back exhaust with oval tailpipe
Plastic cutout from diesel ibiza
Debadged the back
Debadged front with surround sprayed black
30mm drop on springs (temporary until coilover fund builds up)
Bonnet bra
Honda s2000 aerial
MTX sub & amp

Modifications soon to come:
Check vinyl on spoiler
Coilovers
Early spec FR side grills
Some sort of alloys (decisions!!!)
Colour code bump strips (maybe)
6.5" door speakers


Thanks for looking

Finally managed to save up enough money so I've ordered a set of AP coilovers............ and now for the tricky bit, WHEELS!!

After weeks of browsing, I've narrowed it down to 3 sets.

Lenso BSX: 7.5X16 All round



Keskins KT1: 7.5X16 Front
9x16 Rear(maybe 7.5 at rear wth spacers. Trying friends 9" for fitting)



Audi TT Compomotives (polished): Seen an ibiza with a set on here so won't bother with a picture.

What do you guys think?

Unsure how the lenso and keskin would look so if you guys have pictures or photoshops of them on an ibiza then that would be great.

Cheers. Would have gone for a different colour if I knew it was this much work cleaning it!

OK definitely the first of the 2 wheels!

HAHA, o yes she was a HOWLER. Not a bad effort for a girl but still not my cup of tea. Very max power I thought.

Will try and get a photoshop done wih the lenso and post it up asap.

A friend just done this for me and i'm loving it large. He decided to give it some smoothing and lowering so gives me something to work at too

Right, the car is hitting the bodyshop tomorrow, coilovers still in the post and I've been making some phonecalls about the wheels.

Rimstyle can supply the lenso (7.5x16) but at an offset of ET25, which he said would fit, but I'm slightly concerned about this! Will it fit?

I know it's available in an offset of ET38, would I be better off getting these?

Car in question is a peuni 1.4 so just calipers up front.

Going for a fix up. Had some filler work done by seat before which has sunk quite a bit. So thought it was best if I get it fixed before coilovers and wheels go on.

A quick update:
Coilovers arrived and are being fitted next sat.
Ordered a set of wheel spacers(40mm). Decided to wait until after winter for new rims.
New set of philips bulbs to get rid of that hideous yellow look.
Mud flaps have been removed to give a cleaner look.

Pictures should be up next weekend.

Very nice MK4 you have there mate I like it.

All good except the bonnet bra, but thats something I personally dislike.

Cheers.

Bonnet bra is a love hate relationship by the looks of it, but still good fun when people look at it and think HUH!

Quick update:
-Ap coilovers: Wound all the way down on the back with about 15mm of thread left on the front
-Keskins 7.5J on front with 195 tyre and 9J on the back with 205 tyre
-Grommet ready for fitting on the back window but issues with removing boot trim













I have nothing against the AP coilovers as they're a great pack but shall be looking for a set-up that can take me lower as not realy happy with the stance.

Thanks for looking
