Black Tdi Ibiza!

I was de badging the rear before like i've done with my other cars. The letters on the beeza are so much harder to get off though. Should i use sticky stuff remover? I usually just use hot water to get the adhesive off (N)

Get some dental floss and a hair drier - that'll work a treat.

How about a Seat Sport tax disc holder?

 

[Ac2709]

The tax disk holder is ok, i think i need to spend my money on honeycombe upper grilles first though
Can you get the honeycombe lower grille on a pre facelift bumper do you reckon? I'll have to have a look around.

 

[Ac2709]

Just looked actually and found a guide. Definitely need to get the 3 honeycombe grilles!

Give RM Fisher a ring on 01524 751250 and Darren or David in the parts dept will defo help you get the FR grills and all needed. They have been excellent for me and they really go the extra mile. I got my centre sun visor from there so they know about it. I believe some dealers have denied the visor exists!

 

[Ac2709]

I've emailed Sears to see how much they will cost from there, not heard anything yet so might give RM Fisher a call tomorrow. Reckon they will be roughly the same price?

remember this is the weekend so a response is unlikely. David @ Sere will prob respond asap on monday.

 

[Ac2709]

Yeah good point. I wasn't sure if i had sent it. Can't remember, think i must have though

Why not compare?...however you won't have to pay postage from Fishers and they'll get the bits in a day or two for you. Sere seem to have a great reputation on here so either way's going to work I'd say

 

[Ac2709]

Thanks mate. Will give them a call tomorrow about parts. Hope they will be a good price. They change the look straight away

 

[Ac2709]

Even though it was raining i had to get the badges off the back and take a view pictures.

The car is pretty dirty due to not being able to clean it in this British weather

Getting the badges off

Badges off

Going to spray this black when i work out how to get the grille off

Looks good mate

The front grill has two clips, you can see them when u open the bonnet, they you need to tug it towards you and it should pop off

 

[Ac2709]

Cheers mate. Had a look before and spotted the clips on the sides to the left and right of the S. However on the top there was two plug sort of things. Don't know how to get these off. Might just have to cut them off!

Hows yours getting on?

 

[Ac2709]

Today. Been cracking on with some Uni assignments, but decided i needed a little break for the car...

Got my new aerial in the post. Not as nice as i was expecting, however its smaller than the standard one...

Before

After

Also took my 'S' grille off. Going to get the grille and badge sprayed up black tonight so i'll hopefully have updates of that later...

 

[andy17]

got your priorities right having a break from uni work to play with the car

how did you get the two 'plugs' out from the grill in the end?

when i took them out on the old car i completely destroyed them with pliers lol

 

[Ac2709]

Just got a flat screw driver and made a lever. Then just popped them both out. They look like i can use them again when i fit it back in which is good
Sprayed the badge tonight at my college course (Y)
I'll get pictures up now

 

[Ac2709]

Coat of etch primer

During

I'll get photos of it on tomorrow guys

 

[Ac2709]

Picture of it on the car.
Needs a big clean tomorrow (if its nice...)

 

[Ac2709]

Guys. Slight problem. I was just changing my headlight bulb and as i was puling the metal spring clip off the hook that holds the bulb in place may have snapped off
Any ideas what i should do?? It's absolutely typical
