Fannons Ibiza 1.6 16V Sport MK5

Hi All,

Around March this year I got made redundant from my previous employment (IT Engineer with Comet) after 4 years working there and got a shock from having a full time job to nothing! I also had company cars before so it was also a shock getting a car taken off me, but at the same time I was looking forward to picking a newish car and something that I wanted.

It took a little while but I finally have another full time job! And thought I would treat myself with a new car, so i bought this! It's a 2009 MK5 Seat Ibiza 1.6 16V Sport with 13500 miles on the clock. Usual equipment is the 17" alloys, climate control inside also and cruise control and a must in my book the AUX jack (no USB though). Anyway here are some pictures:











Future plans are:

Upgrade Sidelights & Headlight bulbs
Rear Exhaust Oval Trim
Fitted Car Mats
Alloys Resprayed Gun-Metal Grey Or Similar
Tint Rear Windows
Get My Private Plate On It - In Progress!

Hope you like it and I look forward to being part of the forum! I'll be adding pictures as my little mods get done!

Looks nice in that colour i must admit. Get them alloys antracite grey. And maybe a spoiler

Thats the colour I was meaning, will get it done professionally once I get money sorted! Where would I get a spoiler from? eBay? Seat?

Thanks for your comments

Just some little updates people!

I got some little modifications going on, nothing too dramatic at the moment until I start my new job in August, that's when the modding money comes in

Got some new sidelights, headlights and indicator bulbs. Makes a nice difference visually and especially when driving at night which ill mostly be doing! Also got a chrome exhaust tip which matches the car nicely and a richbrook tax disc holder instead of the arnold clark one, and also the private plate should be on within the next 2 weeks I've sent away the forms

Some pictures below:

Looking mighty good there mate. Those bulbs make all the diffrerence don't they?

Yeah totally I wasn't gonna bother but I'm glad I did. Within the next few weeks I'll be getting the private plate on and tint the windows!

Looking good that mate, the new mods give it a fresh clean look

Thanks VRS. If it wasn't for your guides I would have been scratching my head for a while changing bulbs and things!

Thinking of getting the 3 rear windows tinted slightly not too dark and a black vinyl roof wrap. How long can i expect the roof wrap to last? Anyone know?

Thanks!

Where did you get the tailpipe trim? is it a bolt on jobbie?

Picked it up from eBay mate, thing it was around £15 and yeah it has 2 clamps that secure onto the exit pipe from the exhaust.

It gives no noise, its just for the nice finish it makes a difference from just a black pipe stucking out the back!

Took some new pictures tonight using my DSLR! Enjoy!









EDITED:

Some updates recently. Got myself some official Seat Ibiza car mats as all I had was crappy arnold clark ones! And also got some brand new official Seat pedals from eBay for £30! Was very happy with these, and I have also pained the front calipers matt black!

Pictures below....

Yeah sure mate i'll get around to taking those pics you want tomorrow or something. My exhaust was straight at the back so no problems at all!

Subtle mods always make a good addition to most cars, looks good.

Are the pics on post 6 taken in east kilbride by any chance? Looks very like one of the streets i had surveyed on.

I know i'm not doing anything to mad to it, just little changes here and there! Boring mods compared to what others are doing on here haha

Close but it's not EK! I'm from just outside Airdrie so not too far away! Where abouts are you from yourself?
