nev's mk3 Ibiza

Well only just noticed the rules and that i'd misread them, thought it was one thread per user, not one thread per car. So reposting my new Ibiza under this new thread.

So here it is my mk3 Ibiza 1.6 Sport - picked it up this month with 46k on the clock...











After a few weeks of owning i decided to use T-cut restore and wax 2 in 1. Was really happy with the results

Before




After








Also fitted my retro wiper blades, and tailored mats.

I then got round to painting the interior handles matt black, and the engine cover white.








Fitted HID's temp 6000k, the difference is incredible! (HID left, standard bulb right)




The white rear view mirror has always annoyed me, so got it wrapped matt black, have left the stubby bit for now, but quite like the different look it gives




After a clean up, fitted the engine cover, looks a bit out of place at the moment, but with further mods it should match nicely

Got bought a head unit and as given a gauge by a friend who doesnt want to use it, I decided to mount it under the steering wheel and use the cubby hole for the cupra R gauge pod as a later mod.

Night pic is a bit crap due to taking it on my phone






One of the gauges to go in below, need to choose one to go with it now

Just seen it mate, mustve missed it before. Does look good, i just went for the easy option and wanted to leave as much of the car alone. Plus like i said i dont really use the stereo that much, only for long journeys or something so i dont mind it being tucked away

Decided to take the rear view mirror out today and do it properly, spraying it matt black, will post a pic when its done

Mirror done, does look a lot better than before, and improves the overall look of the car i think





...need to get the cupra grilles off my old ibiza asap!!!

Hi thanks mate, no its the 1.6 sport petrol. Yeh i know couldn't believe the result!

Yeh you do just twist, but ive got to say it was so much stiffer than i thought. It twists 90degrees anti-clockwise. My only tip would be to get as best grip as you can and just ignore the window, putting it back on in easier than getting it off imo as well

Cheers mate, haha it wasnt a direct copy i promise. I still remember it as a nifty mod from the old days of being on here. Yeh it was a bit as im sure i remember tales of windscreens cracking!!!

Yeh there are so many plans for it mate, a few people wont agree with, but due to my situation at the moment pretty much everything large is on hold...

...but as a teaser, 16" white multis and probably springs not coilies. Getting hold of my 15mm spacers this week which i cant wait for!

Few updates...

Took my spacers off the old 1.4

Also got round to de-badging

Also picked up a couple of bits gives me something to work on!

Cheers, yeh I'm aware you can i just didn't want it there.

Haven't been on here for a while just lurking few updates anyways...

Purchased the Cupra R gauge pod from the stealers for around a tenner, probably the only thing they sell that isn't a rip off! Gauges are autogauge Oil temp and A/F ratio, but haven't had a chance to wire up yet



Picked up a set of black mg alloys with pretty much new rubber all round as I came to need a tyre change anyway. Fitted with 5mm spacers at the front, removed the VW centre caps so just need to get some SEAT ones to fill the gaps now.

Also gave it the once over pre harsh winter weather, hopefully it keeps the paintwork nice and tidy.
