Veyron's 1.2 Ibiza - Update 12/09/2012 - sadly gone

[Veyron]

Hi, decided to make a readers ride thread now since i've got quite a few mods done to it, so here goes

This is how it looked when i first picked her up:

This is how she looks at the moment:

The first thing i did was got some LED side lights off eBay for the grand price of £4.50!

Next i decided it was time to spray the mirrors red to match the car, so i got my dad to do it

.. After a few months of neglect i decided to treat her to a C2 Stubby aerial (£2 from the local scrappie) and a new Rear wiper, so picked up a Polo wiper on eBay for £16.00 with cap,arm and blade. It took a lot of agro to get it fit but got there in the end after filing the cap and bottom of the arm, though the blade misses a big patch in the middle of the window Anyone know how i can fix this?

Then i tried on my mates Audi TT Competition alloys to see how they looked and like d them but found they rubbed a bit too much when cornering or tackling the huge speed bumps they seem to be putting up by me

Then the most up-to date mod i did was i put some 16" Seat Sport alloys on it yesterday that i picked up on ebay for £200 (delivered) with tires, but lost the bloody seat logo on one of the centre caps after getting it power washed by the local poles and bulgarians the day i put them on!!! , nice one eh? Now i need to fork out for a new one Anyway here's some upto date pics:

Opinions please, good or bad

Looking good mate, though I would say that as it now looks like mine!lol

 

[Veyron]

lol, shame i don't have the fog lights off yours though or the middle headrest

 

[hypopsycho]

ah, little things mate!

 

[Veyron]

It's small touches that set the car off though

 

[hypopsycho]

True, but there are plenty of other things that you can do, look at Matt, 18 and only had the car 5 mins and he is already getting ahead of me!

debadge mate. easy and free!!

debadge mate. easy and free!!

I knew that was coming but i can't because the "I" in Ibiza was coming off when i first got it so stupidly stuck it back with superglue so will leave a mark if i take em off

Looking good, same wheels

 

[Veyron]

Looking good, same wheels

im sure if you wanted to debadge you could get the glue off somehow.

 

[hypopsycho]

ahhh, everyone debadges though, I'm different, I like my badges, in fact I actually ADDED one!lol Put a great big Starsky & Hutch stripe on it, thats individual......

 

[Veyron]

I'm thinking of putting facelift bumpers on but was wondering if it would look OK without being lowered and with the 16" Sport wheels?

 

[hypopsycho]

can't imagine it would make much difference.

 

[ScottHmk4]

as mine looked when i first got it, alot of work to be done, i love TT comps, would have a set as winter alloys

 

[Veyron]

My Sidestrips are in the process of being sprayed right now by my dad lol. Want the handles doing next but aren't too sure how to get them off, any advice? Thanks

 

[BeezaDave]

are you spraying the sidestrips on the car or did you buy a new set?

 

[Veyron]

I'm doing them on the car! I've masked and covered the entire side though. Works out a lot cheaper that way and saves the hassle of ordering new ones and taking the old ones off

I had to get mirrors painted whilst on the car as well because they wouldn't fold in to get the covers off because they're too seized!
