New Owner

[MrP]

Hey yoouuuu guuuyyssss!

New owner here. Just placed an order for a new (stock) 2015 Ibiza FR Black edition. 3dr, 1.4 ACT, Nevada White, armrest, rear spoiler and some roof/bike rack for my Mtb's.

It's a bit of a run around so my MK1 Golf GTi Cabriolet Rivage can become a true summer weekend toy.

Not sure on the direction of the FR, the idea is a easy car to get from A-B but knowing what I'm like I'll have a fettle. Red calipers are first on the list along with LED's throughout, possibly painting the lip black on the front bumper.. Then who knows!

The only question for now, paint the spoiler body coloured or black to go with the trim.. Thoughts?

I'd paint the spoiler body colour for sure. I'm hoping to wrap my front splitter and behind the front reg plate soon. I played on photoshop one day and it looked amazing!

I went on body coloured in the end.

I was meant to be picking the car up this weekend but the cars not ready

I can't pick up till next weekend now so tempted to get the side skirts fitted whilst I wait. Didn't realise they were so cheap!

I just got skirts fitted to my car and they really do make a great difference, especially if the car is lowered at bit. I'm sure you're looking forward to getting the car!

any pictures?

I only got the skirts on last week and the weather has been poor to say the least but I'll try and get some on Tuesday as I'm away to England for a few days. I had them on my previous Ibiza Fr as well. Definitely recommend them

10000000% agree skirts make the car for me simple and effective I need more lows thow here is mine same with the rear spoiler and front lip ;p

oh make sure you upgrade your brakes to the 312mm set up much much much better than the stock brakes there so bad also the 312 is a cheap upgrade but brilliant

That goes really well on the Boc, my only concern is it won't play too well with the softer FR bumpers, especially the rear.

Are the 312's from the MK1 TT's etc? They were pretty pants when I had my Quattro Sport to be fair, I suppose the Ibiza is much lighter though.

Hello All! Finally picked up the Ibiza!

It won't let me post pictures until I have 15 posts, SO I better get spamming

I'm looking at fitting some LED's and I'm getting very confused with the amount of different bulbs across the range, double, single, facelift, etc etc

Can someone confirm the foglights? The Manual says H11 but i've read they are actually H8? Are they Canbus?

Sidelights, are the W5W and are these Canbus too?

I'm new here also just picked up my Ibiza on Tuesday! There is a list of all bulbs in the FAQ section I found the other day. Can't post links until 15 posts either but it's top stickied thread in the FAQ area.

Hope that helps!

Yeah, i've seen that and it's caused my confusion with so many different headlight types. But I can't find clarity on the Foglight bulbs and Canbus system either!

 

[MrP]

Yay!
I can post pictures..

First day I got the car:

Gave it a real good clean, glaze with Dodo Juice Lime a prime and a layer of Supernatural Hybrid:

I then gave it a second coat 24 hours later:

Off came the wheels for x3 coats of Poorboys Wheel Sealant:

Then started on the brakes:

Finished:

Bingo, any chance of getting a "how to" written up?

 

[MrP]

It's really simple.

Using Vagcom, takes about a minute to do.

I'll get a write up and pictures ASAP.
