Well I'm finally on with the mods, will upload some pics when a) I figure that bit out, and more importantly b) when I've cleaned it!

Started out as a bit of a dissapointment, my beloved Escort Si died in 2005 with some serious wiring issues (sodding Polar Ford), I needed a car, and for some reason I was drawn to buying my first ever new car. £8800 later and a brand new Ibiza 1.4 Sport was ordered. Liked the fact it had decent rims and looks, but hated the fact I'd lost half my BHP! Anyway.... here we are today, and it sits outside with a few mods.

K&N 57i Induction Kit (Polo spec)
Sony 'Black Active' CD Tuner - if you have never heard of it, it's a motorised flip!
Chrome Air Vent surrounds
Chrome gaitor surround
Seat branded harness pads all round
Ibiza red/black mats
Red/black/brushed gear knob
Richbrook brushed tax disc holder
Stubby chrome aerial
Chrome valve caps
'Ibiza' high level brake light cover
Chrome 'Sport' badge - as Seat didn't see fit to brand it!lol

Soon to be fitted....

Seat sport black sunstrip (just got to trim it to be legal....ish)
Aeroblades all round
Leather gaitor kindly given to me by Barney3000!

On my to get done list

New back box, have to have one custom made though...but a decent £160 fitted.
Refurb wheels in white

Just wanted to say this site has been great so far, good friendly banter and advice!:funk:

Cheers, updates (hopefully) soon!

Update, well its MOT time on Tuesday, so the new Aeroblades are on, hopefully it will pass, bloody well should with 9k on the clock in 4 years (stop laughing). Anyway, once thats done I can get on with fitting the sunstrip, though gonna trim it down so I can actually see out! Fit the gaitor kindly given to me by Barney3000, and get some nice alloy pedals fitted....oh and pay the local Poles £5 to wash it so I can get the pics up, it's in shameful condition after all the snow and grit!:cry:

sounds good. you'll be fine with the MOT. get some pics up asap, inside and out! :D

haha, just handed the keys over, will be ready in an hour...says the Emo mechanic (normally you get a chav!). Will get it washed when I pick it up, although its looking very grey outside, so hopefully it will hold off so I can get some pics taken!

cheers man, well to be honest the vents were done by Wills & Ellis when I bought it:whistle: new.

Gear knob was only £6 off Ebay, pain to fit, but now I know how I'll help you with yours of you need. Got some nice chrome pedals coming at the mo too to brighten up inside a bit more.:clap: and got the red.black leather gaitor to do too.

Yeah I'll be happier when its got the exhaust done and the wheels sprayed, fancy doing the calipers red, actually yours would look good with the red/black theme.

Got your text, I'll prob reply via here due to the credit issue!lol Might be able to do Sun, but it's Valentines day, so if I go playing cars the missus might be a bit :censored: off with me...will see, if not I always have Weds and Sun off work.:D I'd say an eve, but no light = no pics....:cry:

Look forward to doing the pics though, should be fun.

Hey thanks very much, I never liked them either, I was a Ford man until my Escort died on me, and I just kinda ended up with this as it was affordable at the time. But I've had itchy feet to mod it since, but due to warrenty and lack of money its been pretty much standard up to now....

The funny little thing is a 4 way adapter for the cig lighter, as I have a few things that plug in like sat nav, Ipod charger, phone charger etc sometimes, so I got that little dealy, its a Type S from Halfords, think it was about a tenner, and it has cool little toggles for each one.:lol:
