Ok guys, fresh to this, and on a bit of a budget, so what mods do I start on? I've got a Ibiza mk3 chill in black.

The other thing, 10 posts. Meaningful posts, how are you supposed to do that when you don't know anything useful?

basically, it means don't go spamming just to build posts up (until youre a fully pledged member like me :cartman:)

check the non-cupra thread! Quite a long read, but you can get some ideas.

I have a black mk3, 1.4 - .cool/s my mods are:

15" Alloys - £60 from a mate ;)
Cupra Shocks - £20 from a member (may cost more, but check for sale section)
Jamex Lowering springs (lowered 40mm) - £75ish off eBay IIRC
full window tints with matching sun strip - £150 - £200 IIRC
Colour coded front bumper trim - about £15 for a few tins from Halfrauds
LCR splitter - £20 from Stealers (cheapest place - avoid eBay)
tinted rear lights - £10 for a tin of tint spray from Halfrauds
HIDS - £45 from Diane Shop on eBay - Bargin of the year and a must have! (check link in my sig)
matching side lights and number plate lights - about a tenner from UltraLEDS
DTM Mirrors - approx £40 from eBay
Sub & Amp - £60 from a mate ;)
Autochanger - £150 from Halfrauds (I was young and naive at the time)
Debadged rear - Costs nothing
Badgeless front grille - about £20 from eBay
Exhaust - Free (was my younger brothers old one sitting in the shed)

will post prices to go with these in a mo

BTW: Induction kits are a waste of time. Saves you asking later ;)


edit: hope that helps

:D thats a good place to start. With regards to the sub, mines got one under the back seat, can I nick the inputs from it, or slave them off anyway.

wow, you must have the unique model..

there was once this other guy who said he had a sub under his back seat too.

it's well worth connecting the HU to this sub, though you may find that most of your audio enjoyment will be done while a) sat on your drive b) wondering where all the bass has gone
 
Lol. HU? I still need to learn the acronyms. As for tinted lights. How about those

i laughed at this fella when he said he had a sub under the rear passanger seats (in the non cupra thread).

where the hell would it fit ?? the fuel tank is under the rear seats, and the rear padding on the seats is not thick enough to have a sub.... plus where is the box ?


of wait a second... is this 'sub' the little circle underneath the drivers side rear passanger seat ? if it is... thats to get in to the fuel tank :cartman:

also our HU does not have a sub out, so...... :think:

Ahhh, that explains a lot. Partly why there was almost no Bass when I turned the radio on. Much soz for being a newb. I looked through the side window at what looked like a small circular... something and the kid that was cleaning the car over said 'Thats a sub-woofer.' Thats what you get for trusting a true newb :lol: Maybe I should actually get my car before I start saying what it has and hasn't got.... :doh:
