All about the attention to detail. Keep up the good work fella
 
Again I thought of something that could I do :think:
Ibiza 6J and 6L Fr has around fog lights those black plastic parts with holes for air.
I thought that I could do that on my bumper, so I cut out holes in it for FR look:rolleyes:

Very nice car and the painted bumper looks good!
I am also interested in painting the rear bumper so I have a few questions.
I see that the 'stripe' under the painted bumper has a different colour, is that the original colour? And the painted area, is that matt black? Do do you know the colour code?

Thanks! The red "stripe" color is original, on photos is difficult to see that. The painted black area is painted in matt black. I do not know the color code, but when the color dries painted surface is rough, is not smooth to the touch. In the paint shop they told me that it is a special color, but unfortunately I do not know exactly which.

Ah ok, no problem. But with the 'stripe' I mean the black part under the black painted number plate area. Is that the original colour or is that stripe painted too in the same black colour? It looks on the photo a little less dark.

Can't decide which colour I am going to use, the original less dark colour, or something like yours:p

That black stripe is painted like the rest of the bumper with the same color. It may seem that this is another color on photos, but it is the same. :cheers:

Thank you!
I have paid for the gear konb about a hundred euros, and the gaiter I got from a friend for about 15 euros. Basically there is little difference when I change gears, it feels little faster and gives you more sporty feeling.
 
one more question mate........ is the new gear knob higher (height) than the older one??
 
Hello,

I hope you don't mind but I have a few more questions about the painted diffuser and bumper.

1. Did you make the black bumper smooth, or does it still have the original structure?
2. Is there a difference in colour between the bumper and diffuser? The car respraying shop says that you will see the difference because the bumper is from plastic and the diffuser not.
3. When you drive, you will get small stones against the bumper. Do you see little spots where the paint is gone? The car respraying shop says that you will get those spots.

Thanks in advance;)
