Different colour to be sure, won't see many of these.

I went to see it & I really like the limetta with black wheels, roof & spoiler. It's just nice to be different!
It was only the second or third time I saw it that I noticed a very slight variation in shade between the paint on the plastics & on the metalwork. It was nowhere near as noticeable as on the pics though. At least I hope not as I'm hopefully picking it up in Monday! Each to their own I guess..
 
The only think I think would look better is a 30mm drop in body height, for me it sits just a little too high & the arches aren't quite filled. I'm thinking of getting it done after a short while but will see how I feel after a bit. Anyone already had a Mk5 FR lowered? I'll have to have a forum search..
 
If you need someone to fit some suspension come see me :)

And yes, I was trying to get Clive to let me fit the suspension to it as it was his demo, he's left now though which is a shame as he was a top bloke.

I like the car, drives nice (I know someone who is mapping them now, awesome from what ive heard). Might as well have some fun with it, its always going to be a rare one.
 
It does drive nice, I didn't feel too much of a come-down from my lovely Leon K1 which was a nice surprise. She has to go for me to save some pennies for a house but I've always liked loud / strange colours & things that look a little different so was taken with the limetta green as soon as I saw it. Quite looking forward to it.
 
I quite liked it, skirts and a drop and it would be bob on.

Clive always used to park it with mine out the front, always got comments on them.
 
To have taken the mods that little bit further with the skirts & a drop would've made a big difference. I'll see how I get on with it as-is & maybe get it done in the near future. Will get it waxed (or even detailed, if such a thing doesn't dissolve the paint on a Seat..lol) & shove some more pics up later on.
Still going to break my heart to part with the K1 though..
 
Didnt think about it being a colour no one else really has. So definately be interesting to see the pics when you get it!

I detail mine all the time :)

And if you want painting done have a word with Paul at CRS just around the corner he did that one and mine, great work, nice bloke and real good prices.
 
Thanks for the tip off about the painting - may well need to get skirts if I can price the parts & paint up reasonably.
Also looking to get into detailing, been doing my homework over the past few weeks. Always wish I'd got into it with the orange K1 but never really knew it existed!
If there's anything you can recommend (or anyone to do it for me as work takes up a lot of time & I would love a detailed, "show" shine.) Anyway, I realise there's separate threads & even forums for detailing so I'll check those out.
I'll have to post some pics of the green machine when I've got her within the coming week.
 
A very good mate of mine is a top detailer in my book and as itsa side line very reasonable. He has a unit in Redditch iirc although has done mine at home before now, good idea to get him to do it, watch the process then it's easier to keep it up if you know what I mean, be happy to introduce you.

I reckon you could get skirts supplied and fitted for about £200 ish.

Well, I picked her up on Monday & I have to say that she's growing on me. Coming to a 140bhp Ibiza from a 240bhp K1 isn't easy but I've already warmed to her.
For a start I love the fact that the colour scheme is different & rare. Also she handles MUCH better than the K1/Cupra did and is much more fun around corners, towns & opens up well on the open road! More comfortable to be in too. All in all I'm very pleased so far.

Better pics to follow when I get her detailed & take some proper photos. Apologies for the crappy phone-photo for now!
