Adam's 2003 Ibiza. FACELIFTED, Coilovers, BBS Split Rims!
- Thread starter Zlash_eX

Right guys, quick update.
Got the facelift front bumper on the car as of a few days ago and I went with the facelift FR grills for it. Looks like a different machine now, love it so much. My phone is broken at the minute so I'll try to get my girlfriends camera so that I can get some pictures up!
So, next mod will most likely be the coilovers getting on the car. After that I'm looking to buy some new alloys, so any reccomendations would be good, however I won't be buying them brand new because they cost way too much so I'm currently ebay surfing.
I also want a LCR front splitter to finish the front end of the car.
Then sometime within the year or next year I'd like to get a cat-back exhaust system
After all this the car will probably be finished aside from things here and there like stickers, although I'm sure as I get more done to it I will want more things.
Oh and of course, I want a new interior. FR or Cupra seats would do nicely. Another question though; if a set comes up for a good price should I buy all the seats, or should I buy two front seats and strip the back?

Finally after a couple of weeks here's a picture of the car with the new bumper. Got dad to take a few before we set off to go to uni. Will try to get him to email me the other couple of pics. Looks so much better now.
Only problem is that I don't have it at uni, so I can't ogle it
Before
After
Coilovers next year after I move out of the halls and bring my car to Leicester, hopefully get some alloys aswell.

I know, it's improved it tenfold. I agree. Might get the bit behind the plate done in black and ill eventually seek grills. While I'm doing the black plate section I might get my the lower part of the rear valance done in black aswell, where the exhaust is sorta style.
Car looks class mate! Love it! I cant believe your leaving us and going to uni, leaving your car behind :'( Looks really good though.. I have read all of your thread haha! From not doing ANY mods to it, apart from 'stickers', you have a new rear valance, new front bumper and a backbox... Lol! Thats top! All in all, your car looks mint.. I think it would suit a nice black roof after its been lowered and had some nice shoes bought for her.. Im thinking Leon Cupra R Alloys? Mmmm.. Yes please! That would look sick!! Student loan? All spent on your car hahaha!!
yeah you should mate, get some vinyl wrap if you want to easily add black bits and if you don't like it peel it off
keep up the good work ad
Thanks mate! Yeah might do that actually.
Thanks a lot lol. Not much has happened in terms of mods as I say, but I'm happy with her! Haven't even been gone a week and I already miss driving my beeza. Think I'm gonna give her a thorough cleaning and a polish when I get home next!
I was thinking the same thing to be honest. Will definitely lower the car next year. Might get the roof done in black too, as well as the rear valance where the exhaust is.
YES! Cupra R alloys are my dream. Saw some on ebay for £400+£40p&p. To be fair, that's not a bad deal for what they are, including tyres, in mint condition, but I just don't have the money. And trust me, if I could put my loan to what I wanted it to go towards, it'd be the car!
Updates!
A few changes have happened on the car since the last update and I finally have some pictures! Went to GTi Fest @ Santa Pod on the 16th October, was a decent show. Lots of nice cars there indeed. Anyway, borrowed my Dad's SLR for the day, got a few nice pics of the car!
My wingmirrors, bump strips and front and back badges are now colour coded. Also have some new stickers for her! Didn't get an updated shot of when I bought a 'You Like This' sticker, but that's just underneath the 'Eat Sleap VAG' sticker to fill that space. Need to order some newer SCN stickers also.
Anyway, picture time:
These first five pictures are my favourites, had 3 mates in the back of the car and it actually sat quite a lot lower than standard ride height, at the back anyway! Really want it slammed now...

Wow, didn't think it was that good! Thanks a lot for that though mate, has made me feel well chuffed! Lol the valance is strange, some love it and some hate it, but either way it's a bit different, and I got it for a good price.
I'm sure you'd be able to do the same or better to your beeza mate, if I've had all this done, anyone can, because I'm a caveman.

En route to GTi Fest!
Never seen what it looks like on the road myself, was very pleased with how she looks!

As already said mate, when I first seen the rear valance I wasn't too sure of it. But now it's on it does actually look quite good Big transformation in the car now compared to when you first got it!

yeah i read it was said before, just chucking my penny in, do you find that it looks a bit odd with different height levels, my Celica has everything except the front lip on and looks wierd. But it is just to low to drive with it on
