i have them. got them at last years GTI international from the volksbits stand

took me less than 10mins to fit too!!

i'm not sure why but some people have real problems fitting them. all i can think of is that some ibizas are different than others? :confused:

theres people with 1.4's, 1.6's like me, and cupras that have found them equally as easy to fit.

but then theres also a fair few that have found them impossible to fit and they have given up.

its a strange one

how do you manage to put your bonnet stay up?! my lifters hold the bonnet too high for the stay to be able to reach it, so i took it off. don't like bonnet stays anyway - they just get in the way i find!

mine are just polished

got them from volksbits for £15 at a show

i dont think unlcipping the lifters is what he does mate cos he said he puts the stay up ALSO.... i'm just curious thats all!

ah sorry, should have said, i simply push the bonnet stay under the bonnet Ubolt and it holds firmly in place incase of any sudden gust making it fall on my head!

strange, mine were from volks bits, £20, and i dont see if there all the same some fit and some dont! maybe if some cars have been in accidents the panel screws maybe in slightly different places? weird...
