hi guys havent done one of these yet,

right i got my ibiza fr back in november 2007, i was told it was the first kandy white FR in the country at the time :) especially with this spec including factory xenons :)

so my progress from then till now

due to me also having a corsa z20let track car alot of funds were put on that over the last 2yrs as well as my wedding and house but now that the spending has stopped on the corsa, and with nothing else to buy ive started modding the ibiza :)

i got the call to say the car had arrived in november 07 after been on order for 12 weeks so i went to have a look

then nothing really happened to the car until someone caught the rear bumper coming out of there drive so i had the rub strips colourcoded whilst it was in the bodyshop

the wheels are pretty rough so seat are going to refurb them on wednesday, also they are on the car now as i had a massive blow out on the m62 today, no pics till they are refurbed though,

now whats next i cant decide
 
so my next plans are as follows,

i might black vinyl the roof??? maybe i dont know how it would look

ive been thinking about a gorgeous leather retrim with alcantara roof and pillars??

going to change the rear spoiler for a cupra version,

and when i get chance going to go to awesome and get it lowered on coilovers with the rarb too

the car currently has miltek decat and cat back too which sounds imense
 
and i bought a alpine dvd sat nav unit for my corsa and im thinking of doing the same with the ibiza as it just has its standard audio at the moment

Looking great already, mines off awesome to get lowered in a week can't week

mine was meant to be in on the 7th but i had to work instead so had to cancel it, will rearrange it for in the next few weeks,

on thursday im going to mj interiors to see what they can do aobut a nice retrim,

im thinking perforated diamond stitched quilted leather seats in black with white stitching,
and the headlining to be done in diamond stitched quilted alcantara they quoted me 1700 for the lot to be done, so going to see there quality of work
 
they would be if they didnt have there little hissy fits,

the left hand xenon is a pain it flashes on and off at the moment, so its going in on wednesday to be fixed, and the headlight washers are now fixed, they were staying out instead of going back into the bumper, 690 quid option they were too, worth it though
 
The car looks great mate! Love the factory xenon's! I went on ETKA and priced them up! Once i picked myself up off the floor i figured retro fitting them probably wouldn't be a wise choice! lol
 
Check my old readers ride thread mate for how a black vinyl roof would look

I think it looks spot on as you can see vvvvvvvvvv

good colour choice

I miss mine abit
