Ibiza 130 TDi Sport - 11th August - Splitter + Yellow Film

[Veyron]

Looking good mate, but get a smaller aerial!

 

[dervpower]

Tried a few smaller aerials, but none worked that well, and I listen to the radio quite a lot, so i'll keep the big one

Replaced the rear discs and pads yesterday, they were very very bad lol. Also removed the rear wiper, looks a million times better, and then gave it a nice clean.

I have a Civic one on mine and the reception is mint! It's OEM though, i think ebay aerials are fakes !

 

[BigWill]

it's nice dude.. you'll probably sort of miss the wiper in the beginning, but after a while it really doesn't matter anymore. Do you have any ideas for it next?

 

[dervpower]

No other plans really. Apart from trying to sort the knocking noise out lol! Think having no rear wiper will be a bitch in the winter, but ah well!

 

[BigWill]

that's when i took mine off lol, didn't do me any problems, I just used the rear screen heater, no worries

 

[Scott-o]

I havnt had a wiper on the back of any of my cars since i was 18 dont miss them at all, just keep the window waxed up to fook and stick rear window heater on if it rains haha

What settings you using on your camera mate? what white balance?

 

[dervpower]

How did people plug the wiper fluid pipe thing? I put a screw in it then bent the pipe with a cable tie, a right bodge job to be honest

Camera wise, Not sure of settings, would have been 50mm f2.8 probably, however I did a big batch edit, to resize them all. It also added a funky film setting which I forgot I had on...

 

[BigWill]

i used a multitude of things lol. Plumbers putty is good stuff though.

 

[dervpower]

Haha. It doesn't leak so thats ok.

 

[dervpower]

Got yellow 3000k HID bulbs the other day. They are well, yellow

Hard to capture the colour really...

and just a general shot...

 

[Dan_T]

get some night shots up mate they look good.

 

[Tony T 1985]

i love this car - i think you've pulled it off well

 

[BigWill]

duuude nicely done xD. where did you get those from anyways, think i might change to those and take off the film

 

[dervpower]

Cheers guys! Funnily enough they didn;t look as good at night... Might have just been me.

Got they from China for £8 off ebay. Just hooked them upto my current HID system and they work fine. Also got the 6000K if I want them as well.

+1

Loving the yellow lights
What's next?

 

[dervpower]

Cheers guys!

I bought the Roof rack off Ebay, can't remember the make now but it's good. Very easy to remove however I always leave it on!

What next? Well 30mm spacers and then sort the knocking noise out (which I still haven't done...) Then refurb wheels in silver. Thats all really, I think?

 

[dervpower]

KNOCKING NOISE FIXED

Very very happy about this (despite costing me a fair amount of cash)

Was in garage Monday and Tuesday getting outer CV joint replaced, Anti Roll Bar bushes replaced and wheel bearing replaced.

Outer CV joint didn't stop the knocking, however it was a bloody wheel bearing all along!

Need 2 new front tyres as well, so think i'll get some Toyo TR1s or Nankang NS2s then full allignment and tracking done to sort out silly tyre wear!
