Blanco92's Ibiza Mk4 1.2 - RIP.

[Blanco92]

If you like your car in one piece, don't let a young girl learn to drive in it!

I'm friends with girls who drive into curbs on straight roads ffs! The clutch will be destroyed, scuffed bumpers and curbed alloys to say the least... I don't mean to offend any of the good women drivers on SCN, but I'm simply going off what I've seen at my college!!

I know mate.

I'm not going to say anything with regards to women's driving standards, I don't need to, I know my sister, and that's all the info I need. She's the clumsiest, heavy handed and most careless person I know. So if she gets my car when I'm gone... I know it won't be the same car 14 months later, and I won't want it back.

 

[Blanco92]

BOOOOOOOM!!!!!

Guess what happens next?

 

[ALEXZ360]

Very nice, I'm guessing that's going in and the grey is coming out? And is there more interior parts going in?

You guessed right mate... also going in but isn't pictured are matching front door cards, the rear ones weren't available so I think I'm going to dye them black to match the rest.
I say going in... well... they are in. I just haven't taken any pictures yet.

Haha cheers mate... only cost me £80 for the 5 seats and 2 door cards (plus a road trip to North Wales) and they're in really good condition so I'm happy!

Also realised when I picked them up, these have adjustable height and a storage box under the driver's seat, neither of which the original seats had.

haha I'd love to come down and show them off! Especially as I braved the outdoors today with manflu to fit them

Will look much better than the grey effort that seat made originally in your car. Some of the 'sport' model seats i had saw had went kind of bobbly but yours looks in great nick. Are they any comfier than your standard ones?

 

[ALEXZ360]

Lol sounds like you had a good day firing your seats with man flu I tried fitting my aero rear today with manflu mixed with hayfever and then got knocked back by parts missing off the car :/ which sucked

Cheers mate, yeah they aren't very bobbly at all, there is a small imperfection on the passenger seat base but it is so small that even a perfectionist like me is not really concerned.

As for comfort, I think they are, I'm still trying to figure out the most comfortable position, as they now have height adjustment and what not! What is clear though is they feel far better made, the little buttons you press to pop the headrests out feel so much more robust than those on my grey seats.

Not forgetting the trip to North Wales I had to do this morning, driving with one hand on the wheel the other holding a snot rag to my nose! If I had a facelift rear bumper I'd definitely be doing the aero rear, the bits can be bought for peanuts!

 

[ALEXZ360]

Yeh bought mine off eBay for next to nothing

Looking good buddy

 

[BeezaDave]

[Veyron]

Big improvement! Mine came without the door cards but for £60 i couldn;t complain!

Cheers lads, glad you like. When you next at a meet again Alex? (I say that after missing yesterdays... )

Big improvement! Mine came without the door cards but for £60 i couldn;t complain!

Cheers mate yeah I wasn't complaining either, £50 for the seats and £30 for the front door cards, I'm plenty happy with that.

Anybody know of a facelift Sport being scrapped so I can get the rear cards?

 

[ALEXZ360]

I'd love to but seeing as I work on mondays down in Salisbury the only time I do get to come to them is on leave,

£50 for the seats and £30 for the front door cards

Why so cheap?!?!
