Ah right, i'm sure it's his sister that taught me phyiscs at academy. Only reason i recognise plate is cos she had one the same except different number and she had an ibiza fr tdi in black. she used to bring her brothers car in to school from time to time. This is wierd ha ha

Yeah that's right. I know her well. Small world. They've not had that fr for a long while now, it was her mums.
 
Not updated in a while, have done a few things: hids, leds, gloss black b pillars, interior vinyl.
Tonight I tried to vinyl the bit of the dash I've spoke about but it turned out the best laid schemes of mice and men.....

Was looking promising

But just wasn't working

In the end I just took it off so it looks like I'll be attempting to paint it at some point.

Not sure what to do next really. Funds are short. Really starting to like the euro look now too.
Suggestions welcome.

Nah, not 3m. Just cheaper stuff. Tried a couple of cheap stuff but was very pleased with the quality of this one so I ordered a big load. Less than £20 but and I still have lots left and I've got some use out of it.

Looks good, although surely gloss black is just as dull as matt black lol. Did you get all your paint and that from autogear? Also, your got a wee bit of fabric sticking out your door handle, push it back in with the back of a thin kitchen knife so not to damage the handle casing.

Eh yes! Infinitely better cos now it's shiny and also my driver side door handle kind of looks like shamu.
Eh no it was from the wee shop next to the galleon. Need more gloss black now, it ran out.
Oh no! Never noticed that. Job for tomorrow.

Dunno cos I'm still wanting that big bit White so I'll need to wait and see if anywhere will do that for me and get prices. Well I already had plastic primer, paint and a clear coat so I just needed sandpaper. A trip to autogear for more gloss black tomorrow. Should only be about a fiver.
 
Alloys I like:
Inovit redline

Bbs lm-r (reps because I don't have much money)

But maybe painted like this (despite my hatred of black alloys)

Or quite liking these Audi ones just now

Also quite like the Leon starfish but I can't decide. Like the idea of keeping a black and white theme.
Opinions needed!

It's in my hut. Don't know whether to sell it or get it fixed.
I saw that a while ago but have decided there is a lot nicer than the cupra ones imo. I don't like the way they stick out. Preferred your old ones.

yeh not being biased but i prefered mine too. too easy to curb ibiza cupra ones and also just think the flat spokes are nicer in general.

get it fired on, surely seat should replace it if it was broken on arrival?
