Well I've been on here a while and have finally to do this for my car?!
Its a 55 plate Mk 4 Ibiza FR petrol, I have had the car for just over a year now.
I previously had a 1.1 Peugeot 106 which I loved but the step to the Ibiza was massive!
I have done a few mods so far:
Fitted my stereo system which comprises of:
Kenwood KVT 524 single din flip out screen.
Kicker components up front.
Hertz components in the back
Diamond D3 Sub
Kenwood mono amp
Mutant 4 channel amp.

I have also sprayed the standard wheels satin black.
The front grill and badge and the rear badge have been sprayed matte black.
I have also sprayed my mirror covers satin black to match the wheels.
I have de-wipered the boot.
Put a C2 stubby aeriel on.
Fitted 6k HID's with white sidelights, silver indicator bulbs and white fog ligh bulbs.
The car is on TA Technix coilovers which I purchased off anothes member on here,
they are all the way down on the front with the helper springs still in and all the way down on the rear with the adjusters out.
Seat Sport strut brace
Stickers and SpongeBob ;)
And the last thing I can think of is Toyo Proxie 4's all round :)

I also have planned:
Turbo back Milltek
Seat Sport FMIC
Forge 007p
Open cone filter
Forge TIP
Stage 2 map
Lamin-X Subtle tint the rear lights and side indicators.
Maybe custom springs for the coilovers to drop it another 2 inches ;)

Lastly here are some pictures of the car today after cleaning it!
(Bad quality phone pics :( )

Will, I thought the lamin x was going to turn up today but it didn't!
I will put pics up as soon as its here and done ;)
Cheers Mike, it needs spacers all round! Its super tucked haha,
the offsets really high on the FR wheels I always thought it was lower.
I should have some A4 comps coming soon ;)
I will have a look at your RR Mike I haven't looked at it for a while

Lamin X is now on, might re do the indicators as they didn't come out to well!
Rest looks ok just gotta wait for a few small bubbles to go.
I will update with pics tonight.
It was quite easy to use and with the help of a hair dryer it goes on nicely ;)

Completely forgot about this!
As before Lamin-x is on and has settled nicely with no air bubbles!
I have since fitted a green cotton panel filter, drilled and smoothed the airbox.
Fitted a Forge Split-R, but I think i may just change to the 007P
And lastly I have just bought a cupra/ PD-160 intake so that should be here next week to be fitted :)
Plans for the moment are to space the wheels or find something I like, make it lower and next month get a Milltek cat-back exaust and maybe a Forge TIP if I have the funds :)

Audio update!
Well my mutant 4 channel decided to die :)
Which gives me the chance to get some thing decent!
I'm looking at wither a Genesis profile 4, JL or something of similar quality.
I have also ordered some Hertz HSK components to replace the crappy Kicker ones :thumbup:
So by the end of the month every thing should sound 100 times better!

Quick update.
I have finally sorted out an amp for my car but got carried away and have bought two!
I've got a Genesis Profile four and a profile sub :D
So a nice matching pair, I will be doing a full boot build and getting pics up as soon as it's done.
I'm also on the lookout for new wheels hopefully some D90's :)

Whilst you're out getting pics can you get some of the lights and indicators you've lamin-x'd? Really interested to see how that looks.

Should look mint when all the bits are on, looking forward to the pics mate.
