Looks the part.

Nice subtle mods.

 

[NickLCR]

Yeh I like it, definately a better colour than Black Magic, which is what I have. Must get me one of those Cupra intakes! Shame they cost a bomb for what they are

 

[NickyJam]

thanks for your comments guys. yer i love Zenith Grey especially due to the very few you see out there, also a 5 dr isn't very common with Ibiza FR owners

CUPRA intake installed all in time for remap next year, get the parts worn in slightly

 

[Sisson]

5drs rule...

Keep it up!

What he said ^^^

Not often you see a 5dr.
In fact the only other pd130 5dr i know of other than mine or yours is sissons.

even better that we're rare if this is true i may edit my sig

reason why I went with the 5dr is because i do a lot of driving the family around, and i also prefer having 8 speakers (same setup as Leons with 4 tweets & 4 mids, 2 of each in front and back doors without having to cut extra holes or hang tweets off the pillars) rather than just the mids in the rear side-panels as you find in the 3drs...sound distribution seems to work better

5drs arent that rare nick...dont get tooo exited...nah kidding bud you found out if your panel filter had been pre oiled? call up badger!

it's a 5dr FR...slightly rarer than you may think LAWRENCE

yer...apparently Green Cotton filters are green due to the oil. He said that it is lightly oiled, hence why you won't find it oiling up your finger.

Your just demonstrating the fact that you remember my name now cool man, you get that non tinted window sorted then? how much was all of it?

yep all done now, the tints look a lot darker too now that less light is getting in through the back. All 5 windows plus quarters (only on 5drs ) £180 not bad as everyone else seemed to be charging £275+

 

[NickyJam]

installed chrome gear lever surrounds and looks a hell of a lot smarter inside Such a minor & cheapish mod but bigger smiles all round (sorry about the poor quality pic)

 

[mixupz]

looking good nick! what are those buttons on the handbrake console?

 

[mixupz]

am considering changin the rear wiper, replacing it with the new Golf one (same as Fabia i believe, not the aero one). Where's the best place to buy it? How much roughly from VW parts garage and part no if possible?

many thanks in advance

PM pete88 or try vagparts

 

[NickyJam]

looking good nick! what are those buttons on the handbrake console?

one is traction control and the other is the radio AUX-in

 

[NickyJam]

rear wiper being removed and replaced with aero...photos coming soon

 

[NickyJam]

before

now

very happy with this, cleans a lot better and no alterations needed (no chopping or trimming)

 

[Andywest2k1]

have you thought about getting the cupra handbrake cover? Smartens the interior up a treat and relatively cheap.
Have a look at the link on my sig for pics.
Like what you've done so far by the way!

 

[Matty.]

Car looks good so far! Like the tints on it, how dark did you go?
