very smart mate really like the rims on the mk4

 

[Ibiza 130 tdi]

The difference that front bumper makes is unreal! makes me want a cupra bumper!

Cupra to match at the back, then get the twin headlights as that's a give away it's not the real deal..

But I really like. Colour is nice, wheels are nice, bumper is good! Keep up the good work!

Hi guys, thankyou for your positive feedback.

The KEI Alloys I ordered online. The first time I saw them in the 'flesh' was at the garage while they were being fitted. TBH, I expected them to look darker (as in the pictures), but they have grown on me, also they suit the Ibiza very well.

Agree, the Cupra bumper really does transform the front of the facelift Ibiza!
Also, you can only do so much with the standard bumper, although it was looking quite sleek with the de-badged grille and splitter at the time (piccy 10 above).

I've seriously considered the rear Cupra bumper - but trying to find one is difficult (rarely they come up for sale on SCN or EBay). Buying new is an option but will works out very expensive when you add spraying and fitting...

For a similar price, I'm considering a set of Coilovers ??
The car sits nicely, but would be great to drop the car further at the rear.
Currently the back of the car sits higher than the front, due to the 'standard' Ibiza suspension geometry - Coilovers would rectify that.

Again, appreciate you comments, cheers.
Daniel.
