My Ibiza GT2871R (Updates)

[Cupra 200bhp]

Going to get Jim to fix the problem out when its in getting service etc done. Cars still running great, just getting a misfire on idle in every cylinder according to vag com. Was also saying something about the lambda, but not sure if thats because of its an external lambda probe. Not too clued up with it all to be honest, so Im sure Jim will sort it out.

Right FINALLY got my wheels back today (1/7/2008) after a little delay getting them refurbished. Picked them up after work and wasnt 100% happy!!! Asked to get them the same colour and they have come back ALOT lighter than expected....take a bit of getting used to i think but they will be staying this colour until after f + m and when i come home from Zante. Altho i do have to say the fella's work was top notched

Here is some pics of me putting the wheels back on -

Still needs a good wash....but people's opinions welcome.

Goes into Star performance tomorrow to get the service done and manifold / downpipe to get sent down to zicrotec.

Sorry, no really liking the colour bud. Maybe it needs the seat graphics round lip etc?

 

[PhilW]

Nor me, way too much blue in them for my liking. Sorry.

 

[Cupra 200bhp]

Dont worry guys, im not a fan of the colour at all. A mean how hard is it to paint them black? Been in a bad bad mood since i got them back. Going to go see the guy when i get the car back.

They don't look too bad once they're on the car but black looked much better. I'd probably go back and see if they can do anything.

 

[Cupra 200bhp]

Well thats the car been dropped off at star performance today (2/7/2008) hopefully get the car back in about 10 days time. Dependent on when zicrotec receive the manifold / downpipe and when they send them back.

So wheel's will have to get sorted out when the car comes back

In Star car park...wheel colour looks terrible

Oh mate not good! must admit ad be pished off!
Ive got a set of cupra r wheels sitting in the hut gathering
dust if you want them to put on while yours are getting
fixed? Saves it sitting on stands without rims!
There silver like but in really good nic with plenty tread! Up to you

 

[Cupra 200bhp]

Maybe take you up on that offer! The car is in star performance the now, so the wheels wont be moving. An that would let me take the wheels off to get refurbed black this time in time for F & M coz its going to be tight
