Aimez's mk4 Tdi FR Ibiza

[Aimez]

Yeh at standard ride height like mine it would be okay I guess but got 4 still quite new tyres on so no change for me for a long while!
Well I don't know what hole I hit went over alot and was driving for a while then stopped then drove again and it felt odd then I realised. Prob got worse with me driving on it as I thought I was just imagining it. I don't know what road tax goes towards several different aspect of the roads like them slow down signs which cost hundreds of pounds and things like that.
They are patching up pot holes down here over months and months it has been on the local news and on the front of the local paper as people are so sick of the roads. It is cos of the ice and snow we had then suddenly getting warm made the roads crack.

And paying the jobless - and all the benefits you get these days. Child benefits, disabled benefits, job seekers benefits, college benefits. being too fat benefits, being too lazy benefits....

Our roads are just as bad down here Aimee. There are alot of people making claims against the highways and local councils about potholes and getting money towards repairs as a result. Car still looks stunning even with the steel wheel and the powder coaters did a really good job with your wheels so I may give them a go

 

[Aimez]

Well their customer service to me I am NOT happy with at all. I asked them to call if the wheel was not ready and they never did I went their the day they said and it wasn't ready no one called and I wasted an hour which was my lunch. Then they told me I needed a tyre then they told me I didn't and they had checked it over then it comes back with the most obvious faulty tyre on earth. I won't get any money back as already paid. The painting was great but communication very poor!

I hope you can put all this behind you soon Aimez, and start enjoying your car again.

 

[Aimez]

Yes so I should stop complaining really! Quite few people a the meet asked if I had fitted my Milltek and I had to explain that all this hassle has stopped me paying to get it fitted, roll on pay day!

your car looked really good on sunday aimee. i really want a set of wheels like that now in the same colour my mate said he would love a set on his a3 aswell. i dont think they would fit on mine though but the colour would look awesome.
was quite shocked at how shinny your spare was too lol.
where did you purchase your aerial?
ill back green godess up on the state of the roads down here if hailsham roadways have anything to do with repairs they normally turn into a bump rather than a pot hole which is nearly just as bad.

 

[Aimez]

why wouldn't they fit your car? Thanks makes it all worth it when people say nice things! Just found out will get my biggest bonus so far this year which will cover the wheel repair new tyre and window so as soon as I get that I can get the exhaust and cupra bumper fitted which is good as it is a waste sitting on my bedroom floor!
Hope we have an even better meet next time round where we can all stay and eat together.

Dont think they would fit over the AP calipers, Aimez.

 

[Aimez]

I can fit 312mm brakes under these wheels dunno what size APs are thou so dunno if that helps. I have the brakes sitting at home to fit when I am ready for a remap.

well done with the big bonus sounds like your luck might be changing a bit now then.
thought they wouldnt clear the brakes might be wrong though as i can sence your about to correct me lol.
you managed to find a cupra bumper then? your car will be looking even better soon by the sounds of it.
yea the meet was really good just the restaurant was too busy to house us all lol which is why i didnt stay to eat. i did expect there to be more than one ibiza cupra though

The AP calipers are much bigger then normal 312mm calipers. The Cupra wheels only just fit over them.

 

[Aimez]

ah oh well they won't fit then! I know shame we couldn't all stay as got to know people by sitting and chatting while waiting for food just so hard when doing new meets to see who will show.

I will buy a cupra bumper form the dealers as there are rarely any on ebay if ever. Across the road from where I work is a bodyshop called bumpers and they can order it from TPS which is a 2 mins walk away. Got a reasonable price from bumpers as they get work from my work alot and will get the bumper themselves at trade price so can't do much better than that.
Were you really the only ibiza cupra? Thought the mk3 I was next to was a cupra, I know nothing about mk3s thou?!

 

[cupra.al]

you definatly cant beat trade price theres nothing better.
i forgot about that ibiza think it was a mk2 though that was a really a nice car too.
so the only mk4 cupra lol.
i noticed when i was at the meet i really need a stubby aerial all them little aerials made mine look huge.

This is what I use, Al clicky.

 

[Aimez]

Yeh I put up a post about what aerials fit and people said civic ones and someone said they had one they didn't use and he posted it to me in an envelope with a bit of kitchen roll with his name on lol random SCN freebie!

 

[cupra.al]

thanks damien and aimee. i wasnt even concidering getting one of these aerials untill i saw how oversized mine is compared to everybodys stubby aerials that i got to see.

 

[Aimez]

or just saw the top bit off alot of people have done that but if you park next to us you can tell!lol

 

[nick_c_1986]

Just read your thread, awesome progress on what you've done to your car. Great improvement. Sorry to hear abou the bad luck with pikeys n motabike! I had a taxi use my leon as a brake over two years ago and still hasnt settled!

 

[Aimez]

Thanks alot, yeh I am hoping to get the paint corrected on the rear quarter panel and it had big obvious machine polish marks on it that look awful when the car is clean
