ScrewedSkull's 1.4 Ibiza Sport *OLLINGE skip to pg10 28.7.11*

So I bought my pride and joy about a year ago, my first Seat, and my first car that was all mine!!
I quickly found SCN after looking for some ICE advice, and you guys have been brilliant. I've since been lurking somwhat and thought it was finally time to post up something.
She got a wash and wax yesterday so here you goes.




I was a bit slow off the mark with mods and things (I'm a student, and money is a bit tight!) but I finally got started properly.

She was put on a new set of Koni springs about a month ago, I wanted her ever so slightly lower, as Ibiza's always seem to ride a little high, I'm fairly happy with the results, I think she hunkered down nicely now. Although I can see myself already wanting her lower, and I think my next big expenditure is going to be some coilies - a mate had a set fitted to his A3 and it's an "iScrape" jobby.

ICE-wise:
Treated myself to some very very nice new speakers and tweeters in the front, which sorta blew my budget, but there was a bit left for these badboys:

yeah, I've only got half a boot, but bang for buck they aren't half bad.
I have to admit I was a bit nervous about doing it myself, so the guys at bassjunkies in Birmingham have to be given all the credit, I'de seriously recommend them.

Next thing to do will be light tints, got myself some flyeyes on order, and of course a SCN sticker in my rear window.
Plans are also in the pipeline for the pretty standard lrc front splitter, and the possibility of a new exhaust. My mate with the A3 is desperately trying to get me to fork out for an induction kit. AND I’m having the internal battle of paint my alloys/leave ‘em OR get some cupra wheels.

STICKER TIME (Whoop)



Back from a rather messy few days holiday on the south coast - and of course now she needs a wash, I know
Flyeyes arrived whilst I was away and I've just spent half an hour doing my tailights...I'm not completely convinced, they look great from a distance, but up close it's all a bit ish, I'm gonna leave them for a few days and see how I get on :S
Any thoughts?

half done:

fully done:

close up:

lol. Wallington is about 7/8miles away from me. So maybe?

LOL. Walking that distance to a park seems a little excessive. You would have had to go over the M25.

Tbh It's fairly standard atm. Lowering isn't massive. So I guess it looks like most other Sports at the moment

All "speedbumps" in Surrey seem to cross over into the moutainous side. lol.
and splitter is on the list of things to do. and fair play, my suspension went from being "stiff" to "hard" i reckon.

Yup. I do. And it'll probably happen in the next week. I've got some time and £30 to spare

I got the springs from Awesome for about £100 - and then fitting cost me £150 cash at a little indy garage in Coventry. So I imagine that price would vary.
It's dropped by about 35mm front and back, and speed humps are not an issue with scraping - however I do have to go slower over them, purely because the ride is now rather stiff. lol.

RIGHT, I think that solves my indecison about the whole thing.
Ordering some for the front.
In the meantime, I've taken my chrome front grille off, and it's going BLACK

I was tempted by doing it red, but there are loads of red ones out there. I want to be a bit different. I might accent things in electric blue...

Worst photochop EVER, if my coursemates spotted this I think I'de be shot. I think I like blue though....


and I might have found the alloys for me, not cupra, but still pretty saweet..... (another HORRIFIC photochop)

bring on the insurance quote, lol.
