wish i had the money now.....would of bought the buggers :(

well more small subtle mods are on the way around pay day and i shall sort out the front end...
new brighter headlight bulbs (cant afford HID at the moment :()
FR Grilles (both grilles around the side of the 'S' logo
Chrome around the 'S' logo

also after looking at loads of other ibiza i now love the front splitter/bumper (the more sporty one that chris_a_79 has)...any ideas were i could track one down except ebay, a breaking ibiza or pistonheads??

also might be on the look out for a cupra interior not sure yet

Bloodddyyy hellll, they went for 295, freakin bargain!

You're able to get a bumper from a stealer, however it will be primered only, and would require painting (I'm guessing £100 from a bodyshop??) Best bet is to hold out for a breaking Ibiza (however often the bumper is the most damaged bit :doh: )

Let me know about any of the bulbs I linked you to, as I'd like to know how they look and perform for the money!

The chrome surround really makes a difference on the front end. It's £17 inc p+p from Sere IIRC :)

I've seen quite a few sets of nice alloys floating around the forum's for sale section. End of the day, Cupra alloys aren't a must, plently of other gorgeous ones out there :D

295! bigger kick in the nuts! looking into getting some 17 RS4 replicas...saw them on a yello ibiza (possibly on the post) and i thought wow! :)

found a bumper last night on ebay (new) who would paint it aswell...116quid to be painted too...not sure what the standard paint colour is for my car (the name :lol)

shall post information when the front end is sorted out (except the new spliter) at the end of this month :)

Depends on your current tyres. Standard, mine were 195/55/15 I THINK! However for 17's you should look at 205/40/17 for the Ibiza. There are various tyre size calculators on the web which compare sizes to show any issues they may cause, such as the speedo being off. However, the measurements I stated are 0.6% different, but closest you'll get!

I like the modern RS model 5 Spoke wheels =]

the ones that get wider nearer the edge, they are quite chunky
