Adam's 2003 Ibiza. FACELIFTED, Coilovers, BBS Split Rims!

OK! Some more detailed pics of the interior seat covers.
Just to show you what they look like from the inside and where they're tied down...
The back covers are clearly looser than the front ones - the right hand side has my brothers imprint in it as it's really the only one ever used, I hardly ever have 4 people in the car. The left side is also not aligned properly as you can tell - the blue bits are a bit offset from each other but that was because dad had already put the headrest in on that side, and you need to punch holes in the top of the cover to do that, so there was no going back. -.-
^ This is underneath the drivers seat, the bar which we used to tie the string to. Same on passenger side.
^ This is the boot (no s***), I've highlighted where the string comes from and where it all links up. Was a bit of a stretch to make the back covers fit tighter to the seat, they haven't snapped yet though...
Hope this is useful to anyone considering these types of cover (ahem, stez!)

Cheers for doing that mate will be getting these covers, I need to make up my mind if to go with red interior or blue interior.
No probs at all.
They do look better than the standard grey seats as I've said before, even if they are slightly baggy and awkward to fit!
Does anyone know if the admins still move readers ride threads into the specific locations?
EG: My thread here into the Seat Ibiza mk4 reader ride section?
Thanks.

Yeah I know but there's a sticky thread under most sub sections - 'The best _______ past + present projects' or something.
Was wondering if admins still moved readers ride threads to those specific categories?
No, you post in here then they fix it.
You have to post something along the lines of...
Zlash_eX's Glacier Blue 1.4 S

Yeah I've already done that lol, was just wondering if they still moved them around because it's been a few days and hasn't happened yet
Ok, took an extra day to arrive and got a couple of pics after we installed it last night then took some quick ones when I got in from school today.
Unfortunately the light blue didn't match the glacier blue colour of the car, but will probably fade to match it more over time.
Doesn't look diabolically bad, and it might aswell go on the car instead of wasting £20.
Here are the pics.
Thoughts?
SCN stickers still haven't arrived. Will update when they do.

Haha thats fair enough. I got it because its something that doesn't have to be declared on insurance (at least to my knowledge?) but just makes the car more 'individual' or whatever.
Not allowed to be going and getting any nice bumpers like you did, will blow my insurance into the sky!
And as for the chrome, I agree. Always thought it looked a bit out of place - kind of makes the grill look a bit more feminine -.-
I would remove them, however for one I don't know how, and secondly I think my dad wants them to stay on for resale value.
I wonder how much it'll be worth after another 3 years though...
Probably will have 90k+ miles by then and will just be outdated.
Will only be worth £1800 I should imagine, don't see why the chrome surround on the grill would make it so much better...
Who knows, I'll probably go crazy with mods after 3 years anyway and just keep the car but beef it out.
Love my ibiza!

Yeah Individualism FTW yeah you have to declare everything these days, I haven't declared nothing yet haha, I intend to soon though when my insurance needs renewing. I think it's stupid you have to declare bumper changes, especially if they're OEM bumpers. Shame really though, some nice facelift bumpers would look amazing on your car. I personally think you should get some pre-facelift FR grills then colour match the beams, that'll make your car look like it's got the facelift bumper even though it hasn't, like this:
Shame you can't remove some of the chrome buddy, not sure how it devalues the car though, it's not like the cupra etc come with them i must admit they are a pain to remove though
Don't worry buddy i'm with you there on the mileage thing, i'm on 85k at the moment, mines probably not worth much now but in terms of personal value it's worth a lot more than it's actually worth to me I love my Ibiza too, I really want to upgrade but i'm holding off it at the mo due to losing my job

Wow that bumper actually looks really good, I'll have to look into that when I can afford to.
Know what you mean about personal worth aswell.
