James' Black MK3 Ibiza - Gone to a new home

[Gooner_Mike]

Looks good mate. Bet it sounds great! Is it cat-back or just rear box? I picked up an exhaust dirt cheap off ebay the other day and it will be fitted next week!

cat-back mate, it sounds nice, not stupid loud though

I love how the car is sitting on the standard wheels in that photo.

The exhaust looks almost identical to the 20v T backbox. Looks great

Good stuff!!

aye im pleased with the stance on the new coilovers.

Thats the idea with the exhaust... its all about OEM+

New Wheels!

Had slight curb trauma in the snow and buckled a wheel the other week .....

So i got these instead

 

[Finan]

They're VW Le Castellets

Nah no splitter - ive got better bumper plans in the pipeline

 

[Finan]

cost much? im on the lookout for some nice rims to replace my chavy wolfrace ones lol

 

[artemis_1991]

£250 maybe for wheels - £300 for wheels and tyres usually.

I got the lot for £220 though

yeah.... wolfrace wheels dont really belong on cars....

 

[artemis_1991]

Heres a few decent pictures after a long overdue wash!

fair play, credit where its due. well done mate. kudos for making a non cupra project. refreshing.

New wheels and exhaust looks good, James.

Think you should paint the wheels white though

Thanks guys, im glad someone likes the idea and doesnt think making a 1.4 look good is pointless

All in good time. should be going into the bodyshop next week - dont worry IF my bumper comes off the lower part is yours if you still want it

Well spotted - i did have 15mm spacers on but they came off due to scrubbing

yeah, thought I read before that you'd put spacers on... Don't worry about the splitter, I got a new one and redid it took my time and I'm really pleased with it this time. Aww man, not even a clue!?

 

[artemis_1991]

[Finan]

[artemis_1991]
