Yes, it's 'Lunar Grey' - basically silver.
Your wheels are exactly the same as mine, and it looks like you have the low-profile tyres as well like me.
Thinking of getting it lowered now first, as it looks too high up compared to the 'sporty' look of the rest of it. Anyone know how this affects warranty as that is always my concern given that it's only 3 months old?

2 Options with lowering :

1. Either get the Seat lowering kit and keep all of your warranty but it will cost over £400 (fitted) and only lower the car 20mm if I remember correctky.

2. Get an aftermarket lowering kit (springs and shocks) aftermarket springs or coilovers, these will cost less (Springs = Around £110, Lowering kit = Around £250.00, Coilovers = Around £500) but you will lose warranty on the suspension components and any other parts that works with them (or so I was told).

hi all,
found this site when searching for parts/mods for my Ibiza SC (also in black)

got great ideas from your mods,

the back spoiler is very nice, will get one for mine too.

also the FR grille is great. need to check is i can find one here.

also thinking on the aero kit (original from seat), but had a bit of thoughts on the rear bumper.
seat.com/com/generator/su/com/newIbiza08SC/site/accessories/sport/main.html[/url]

the rear bumper have these things on the sides, how would it looks on a black car if these side things are already black?
i was thinking it wouldn't be noticeable at all.

any thoughts on this issue?

They are taking the piss with that tbh.

Find a decent local bodyshop, they should be able to repair it for about a third of that price.

Is the bumper really that bad? If so I have one in red and you could probably get it painted for around £80 (around my area anyway)

EDIT: Looked at the pics of the damage, id be running very far away from that garage. That is a joke.

I know mate, it's the company my local Stealers use for their body work

That price is ridiculous! you could get the other sporty version for that pretty much.

By the way Slick...love your banner in your sig! Car looks awesome.
Edit: Just realised its not even a boc. I love the black mouth you've done!

nice one, thanks for the info.
the black edition looks nice, dont like the front bumper and grille.
the original front bumper and the FR grille would look way better.
maybe I'll do the back and side skirts and top spoiler. got the sport exhaust already

thanks again :)

As Char said it's for the grille, every MK5 should have come with this grille (bar the Cupra/Boc of course!)

Update :

Needed to do a little modifying so went out and bought some Silvertec indicator bulbs, gone from this :

I need to get my badgless done this weekend, after getting the sealant sorted last week (and sitting there with my hands on it for 15 mins to stick lol) just waiting for the trim tool which techie is kindly sending to me.

Think i'll get it lowered after xmas then and spoiler sorted.
