iTB Ibiza Cupra 16v Track Toy - Engine Rebuild, Aero & More Page 73+

Well not much of an update but spent all of saturday catching a tan by wash both the cars and then giving the Ibiza a good polish and wax.... Know you shouldn't do that in the sun but doing bits of the panel at a time and rotating the car away from the sun all the time I managed to do it lol.

Here's a few photos.















Photo of both my car together

You can get them in a carbon fibre look but I'm not a fun of the "carbon fibre look" (apart from the factory decals). I think the black bonnet pins match the black centre caps and mirrors.

Right collected my car cover off Rogers yesterday here's a link to the one I got trailor fitted for the car:

Storm Force Cover by Car Zone

I know it's sad putting my track/toy under cover but before I had the car sprayed the passenger side and half the boot was more faded than the drivers side because the sun is always on that side of the car and because I don’t have a garage this is the next best thing for me to do!

I'm going to start looking into hiring a garage if I can find one within 10 miles or maybe a small unit... see what the prices are going to be.





Plus it starting little thieving eyes looking at the car now.

Not going to argue with you with that comment I'm waitng to see if the kids are going to check it' fire proof or not!


Know of anything around your way but more towards penygraig?

Don't say that now because I be taking it off now lol.... did read up about it and wasn't cheap for a cover so hopefully it'll be okay. Worse comes to worse they should only be light marks so should polish out

it isn't a cheap sparesworlds or ebay one and its pretty well made, have a look on the link and let me know what u think. A mate of mine got a half tidy one had no problem with it so far and thats after 3 years now.

But have a look and let me know fella!

the cover does have 4 layers so it isnt just the grit collector bit, I'm worried about the colour fading. I know it took 10 years to fade like that but i dont want to chance it, if i had a garage it would be in there but you can see where the car is kept in the photos and its always in the sun (when it is sunny).

I have polished and wax the car twice in the 4 weeks of havin it back. I know u gotta let the paint cure and it was in the bodyshop for 3 weeks after it was sprayed while they built it back up and waited for parts.

If you know of any websites that shows who's rentin garages or small units let me know. Think I might take a spin over the next few days to see whats to let.
