Aimez's mk4 Tdi FR Ibiza

[Aimez]

The colour on your vRS alloys looks awfully similar

I know after all that I messed about thinking about what colour to go for for months, oh well!

 

[Ad Lav]

I know a man, works in Scaynes Hill - will fit them for a few £££

4 wheel alignment, I can help there too...

Buy the coilovers, cupra bushes and R ARB them save up for them to be fitted all at once, saves it being taken apart again and again!

 

[Aimez]

Yeh that is the plan to get it all done at once. Same plan was with the wheels got the tyres and wheels done and fitted all at once.

You know a man sounds good, think I could do the ARB myself but not the coilovers! Don't really wanna pay a garage as they prob never fit them and will charge too much!
Was going to get my work colleague(I now work for a truck garage) to fit the bushes but he has now left!

Getting it all done at once is a good plan. Only need to get the alignment done the once (that is what I did the other day)
Car is looking good and will look even better lowered.

Drop me a PM when you're ready!

 

[Aimez]

Cool thanks Adam you come to the rescue yet again!
Will do not be for a few weeks thou gotta decide what coilovers to buy keep changing my mind and am definitely gonna pay extra for stainless after seeing pics of the state of some well looked after coilovers on here after the winter, scary! But I'm narrowing it down.

Thanks for all the nice comments people all input welcome!

 

[Ad Lav]

What have you narrowed it down too?

 

[Aimez]

Saw nams, as as we both agree his looks spot on, he has APs and know rash loved his FKs but wouldn't go for the silverline X like he did they are the most expensive FKs or maybe KWs but not sure which varient 1 or 2 (think 3 is for track cars!). What did you have can't remember? I've been nosing at people who have the same wheel as me so I can tell how the ones they have will look!

 

[Ad Lav]

Had same as Rashcupra. KW2's will be fine as the adjust on hard/soft settings... KW1's are just height adjustable.

AP's are made by KW so well made and worth the money, i'm getting some for the Fiesta soon

 

[Aimez]

Ah the fiesta you still enjoying it? Spent much on mods? I used to love my mk5 1.2 used to be on www.ukfiestanetwork.com!

Will have a look at prices a bit more to help me decide between KWs & FKs I think.

 

[GueZ]

nice

 

[Ad Lav]

Its lowered on Eibach springs at the moment and I have smoothed the reflectors on the rear bumper. Its a great handling car, bit slow sometimes compared to diesel/turbo power but hey ho!

 

[Aimez]

Sounds tame for you only two mods! Yeh well if you have a nice car and a house you have to be more careful I guess, maybe not as quick as the red beast but as you say hey ho that's life.

 

[driescuit]

what's the cost for the black wheels?

 

[Aimez]

They are anthracite not black to be exact Depends on the light what colour they are, they cost about £250 I think you can get this done cheaper for just spray paint rather than acid dip and powder coat but I wanted it done to last.



Latest news on the car is bought a non resonated Milltek cat back with oval tailpipe from Awesome the discount deal on is not exactly gonna come around again anytime soon. Was going to get coilovers but seen 2 threads on worn out and broken coilovers and people saying you have to strip and clean them 12 times a years has put me off at the mo.
I cannot even fit them myself let alone strip them down.
Also ordered a Whiteline ARB.

 

[MargheD]

^ Yes, I saw that thread too, just a couple of days too late though!
Now I'll just keep my fingers crossed for my coilovers.

£250 for that kind of result is money very well spent if I may say so, those wheels look great on your car, and they make the red calipers stand out even more.

 

[Aimez]

Thanks, hopefully will have bigger calipers soon too need to finally sort out the 312 brake sat in the garage for a year!

 

[alx_chung]

Kewl. A Non Res Cat Back on the Ibiza will sound pretty good. Bet you can't wait.

If i would get mine sanded, sand blasted (probable very wrong translated ) by a friend how's a prof sand blaster, the biggest cost would be the powder coating... ?

Do y think they're more vulnerable in you're modif.? cause they look so much better in you're color... and i would be the first in entire Belgium (advantage of a shitty farmfeeld that thinks they're a nation by collecting a shitload of taxes)

 

[Aimez]

Just realised you are form Belgium! Met a Belgian for the first time on Friday, truck driver from Holland came into my work needing a new mirror.

I do not know the price breakdown as I had the wheel refurbished and powder coated and tyres fitted all at one specialist place. But yes a friend sandblasting them will obviously save you money.

Not sure on you last translation? But are you saying they may be vulnerable and maybe vandalised/stolen? I do not live in the city and don't park my car on the street, I live in the countryside.
