Hi all, just creating a RR thread.

I bought my first car which is a SEAT Ibiza 1.4 Sport MK5 aged 18 last April, kept it pretty bog standard tbh, after a year and a half of ownership I'm looking to make a few subtle changes mostly styling mods as I know not much can be achieved by engine tuning wise.

Classic Emoción Red Paint job
Standard goodies such as AC, headunit, with USB & AUX, Radio stalk control, adaptive cornering fog lights etc..
17" Saga Alloys in standard colour



Car in current state -


Mods so far:

Matte Silver Side Mirrors



Fr Honeycombe Grill -


'SEAT Sport' Number plate surrounds from CreationsMotorsports -


Planned mods in the near future:

FR Honeycombe Grill – Done (Thanks SereMotors via Ebay) :thumbup:
White LED lights all-round (Number plate, Sidelights, dipped, full, interior/boot) -
Armrest -
Personal Registration - Done
Pressed plates – May wait until I get a private plate Done
‘SEAT Sport’ Number plate surrounds - Done (CreationsMotorsports) :thumbup:
K&N/ Pipercross panel filter -
Custom exhaust - Maybe
Light Tints rear 3 - Maybe

On the hunt for some fairly cheap Aera alloys, but looking like it's impossible!

Ideas/recommendations welcome! :)

Pics of progress soon to follow

Look forward to the updates!! The grille looks how the new style are.

Really like the wing mirrors. I'm going to order some vinyl wrap and do mine that way. Your wheels look smart too mate. :)

Matte Silver for the mirrors. Going to lower it 45mm and then maybe plasti dip the wheels in white for the winter to protect them.

Much better. Amazes me how manycar companies have miss match grilles. Just a money making thing I guess.
