"Aretha" Ibiza Mk2 GTi Cupra Sport 8v *Small Update 02/04/12*

[LMJ]

You know what Suj, I'm not too keen on it. I'm yet to see it in daylight though, so I'll post a quick shot of it tomorrow. For now, I'm undecided.

That rim is pretty sweet, trying to ignore the horrid tyre though

TBH I think it looked good without it...IMO if you got standard headlights back on and maybe a slight tint on them (to go with the black/white theme) then you are more or less done IMO (of course)

Evening all! Well I've spent MOST of the day applying this Gloss black vinyl to my roof. It took ages, as I've never done it before, I was extra cautious. Despite my best efforts, there's a 6" square of imperfection above the windscreen which you can't see in the photos below (Basically a collection of small bubbles etc). Anyway - to date, I have to admit this is the mod I've been most unsure about. At the moment, I'm not sure I like it.

(Apologies for an utterly crap photo!);

dont shout at me but i think if i was doing the roof black i would of done the wheels black too

Roof and wheels look awesome mate

Nah Kezz, I didn't want them in black. The wheels are too busy to be in black imo, too many spokes

Cheers mate! Still undecided about the roof!

Roof really does look good mate and I love the stance you have just now with the Ronals. I quite like the black headlights, something different and breaks everything up abit.

Think Im going to have to get my Ibiza beside yours at a show next year!

 

[LMJ]

Thanks mate, I don't really like it though, infact I might take it off soon

Woop! Awesome mate! Inters, must do it!

Mini Winter Update

All in aid for winter, I've started to clean / seal and replace anything that's dodgy / leaking in my car. Coolant pipe being on the top of the list, I went onto refitting a brand new one, (this one wasn't from the Stealers though, £75 indeed! )

Fitted, full flush to radiator, matrix and engine block etc;

It would've been rude to leave it there, so me being me, I went to clean my whole engine bay again, as it had gathered quite a bit of dirt / dust;

Interior was also shampoo'd, cleaned / vacuumed, degresed, re-dressed (although I'll dilute the dressing a bit more for next time, as I felt it was a tad on the shiny side!);
(Few days have passed since);

New red stitched gaiters;

Still a baby, but slowly clocking up the miles nevertheless!;

 

[ather`s]

nice one Llyr. love it!

 

[gtikezz]

great work as always mate

 

[gtikezz]

just noticed your roof liner mate , tell me more

 

[LMJ]

It was there at Inters Kezz . It's faux suede . I want to do my plastic grey trim too, in a different kinda material though (found in Mk5 / 6 Golf GTis), but finding an automotive fabric kinda distributor is a mission! And my engine's not as nice as yours
