Hey guys,

I've been around the forum for not so long, but learned quiet a lot from the forum so I thought I'd share my RR with you guys, show you what I've done to my car, what are my future plans and so on.

Let me first start by giving you a small introduction about myself, I'm Cyril (24), & currently work in the advertising business and love every second of it.

I bought my car almost 8 month ago, a candy white 2013 Seat Ibiza SC DSG.


Here's how it was the first day I got her:

Here's how it looks now:

Below you will find lots of pics showing the car on an updated basis.
I'm open to all suggestions, criticism & feedback.

Here's a small detailed version of the RR,
I'll be adding all mods done to the car:


Here's my dad next to the car when I was signing the last papers before delivery and some pics of when we got home:

As soon as I got my car I decided to get the Parrot MK9200i, shipped it from the US and mounted it to the car. Its one of the best accessories I've ever got. Simplifies life a lot.
I definitely recommend it to anyone in the market for a bluetooth system.

Couple of days later, I've painted my mirror caps glossy black since I was going for the white/black Color combo.

Door handles were a big no no, so I painted them white to match the color of the car

Soon after I decided to to try the rear valance mod on my car, and got myself a small roll of glossy black vinyl and tried it with a friend of mine:

Then decided it needed to get painted

Soon after I debagged the rear:

Then I painted my callipers yellow, rims black & did the bottom of my front end glossy black as well as the S and grill surrounding

The look of the car definitely changed, it looks 10x better!


When it comes to performance, I deleted the resonator.

That's about it till now.

I like what you have done with the car Cyril, have you got anymore plans for it ?

Yes, remap is on the top list.
Some minor exterior mods are also coming soon like spoiler & side skirts.
Might be getting the facelifted LED taillights (mine didn't come with them)
Other than that I'm good, might also check if a DSG remap is available for my make.

Cheers.

Hey man, from where did you get your spoiler? and how much did it cost you? and does it fit properly when glued? Eno is it stable? w about the remap i contacted upsolute, they said $400 for a remap, which i am not ready to do if it doesnt give me a satisfying outcome, what do you think?

Got it from Seat for $240 without paint, I glued it myself. Its very stable.
As for the remap it depends, the difference is minim, I'm not sure you will feel a huge difference since we are talking about a n/a engine. It all comes back to you.

How did you paint the front badge? I was thinking to paint it matte red. What do you think?

Body shop, got it painted there.
But I won't recommend it to anyone since with time it will start to chirp away.
As for the color, to each his own.
I wouldn't do it for the color combo personally, but hey it's your call in the end, if you like it who cares!

Small updates,

Eibach springs (pro-kit) are installed as well as a front lip.
The car rides smoothly, sits lower and drives 10x better.
