"Aretha" Ibiza Mk2 GTi Cupra Sport 8v *Small Update 02/04/12*

[LMJ]

Little Update

Well since my seat bolster had more or less collapsed, I decided to rectify it by digging into my original 8v passenger side seat. As expected, the bolsters were mint. So I dis assembled both seats as follows;

Carefully prised off the fabric to reveal the foam and frame;

Removed fabric to reveal a fresh (10yr old) bolster (big improvement over the last!);

Before;

Old vs, Old?

New supportive bolster;

Anyway, went about lowering my car some more, dropped it another 25-30mm on the rear, and another 10-15mm up front;

Even on the 8v standard wheels, already sits nicer imo. Once the ronals are fitted, spaced another 5mm on the rear, and camber sorted up front. ;

Oh and got a little bored, and since my mate's done it - I thought "what the hell";
CUSTOM LEGO ALPINE WHITE VALVE CAPS Y0!

Sick! Much better (Told you should have gone lower )

Good job with the seats. Do mine please.


Hate the window deflectors though

Cheers lads. Arun - I know, they're on and off like my pants . But they serve their purpose in this rather humid / wet weather (with no air con)

i need a set of them lol where you get them from?

 

[LMJ]

Haven't a clue mate. eBay? Google it? Were on the car when bought.

ahh ok pal

looking good Llyr. got to do my passenger seat because when i broke that polo for the engine both passenger and drivers seat are ejector style so thought it would be a cheap little mod to make both mine ejector style. was the material easy enough to take off the frame?

the young lady who has bought brummy`s ibiza has taken them off as she doesnt like them so speak to her as they might be avalible??

 

[CraigW]

How good do the Alpine White Mk2's look when they are spotless?!

Car is looking awesome mate, and I like the wheels you have on but the Ronals will look great aswell!! Colour coded Ronals .

Think I need to cut my splitter holes/vent bits out aswell. It looks really good. And good work on the seats!!

someone promised me a set of these but not seen them yet SUJ!!!!

 

[LMJ]

I have SOO much lego! It's unreal! I literally have (you know the Tesco bags for life?) like 4 bags worth, ha!

Phil, now THAT's an idea! I could use the variable height driver's frame on the passenger side too! How hard would it be to swap over the lever to the other side, so they correspond?... hmm!

Oh yes I do, I had a set for you dude, if not I will have to see if I got any white ones left lol

Wouldn't it be on the wrong side the adjuster? lol

 

[LMJ]

That's what I mean Suj ! Would it be possible to swap it around I wonder, I'll have a look!

 

[LMJ]

Hmm, well if I could weld, it's be pretty easy to swap around I'd imagine. And fabricate the opposite of the lever. But just so the seat raises on the passenger side too, I dunno. Not much point

 

[ather`s]

might be easier to get the passenger ejector base as polo`s are like dog **** in breakers yards! and they are identical!
