First Car Project - MK4 Ibiza

[dionbee93]

Hi guys, I've had my ibiza fully repainted in the standard colour and I've started modifying it.
I hope to have it ready for when I'm 17 next January.

I bought some wheels top put on it, and fitted brand new tyres to them:

I cleaned them inside and out, and gave them a good wax to keep the paint fresh and easier to clean next time.

I started by doing all the things that i hd thought of in the last few months.

1. Painted Calipers.
2.Fitted the LCR splitter.
3.Debadged the rear.
4.Fitted the wheels

Enjoy,

Ideas and tips appreciated.

Dion!

Lovely first car there, Dion

A debadged grill would finish the front end off nicely IMO.

 

[dionbee93]

Yep, I've been thinking about it, but I can't seem to find where sell them cheaply.

What colour was thr car before? I think White wheels would look good on that colour other then that lower it and maybe get the cupra of fr bumpers will be a tasty little motor when you turn 17

Hi mate, the car was the same colour before, I just resprayed it becasue there were a few dents and scratches all over the car.
I've had a price for a set of cupra bumper from my mate who works at the dealers and I can't afford them!

Already done!
They just didn't want to stay inplace, so I just took them off, I'm after a set of darler lights now to compliment the car's colour.

Thanks, although they look stupid on the back at the mo!
Needs lowered a bit IMO!

Car is going back into the bodyshop friday because there were a few bits that i wasn't happy with.
The car will have perfect paint then.

Dion!

 

[dionbee93]

Havent updated this in a while!

Got my car back from the bodyshop, polished and buffed up perfectly now.
Bought some cleaning stuff and after my GCSE's had finished, I set about giving it a good outside detail.
Started with wash etc, then polish and Waxed the whole car after that, looks like glass now!
And the water beading off in the rain is ACE!

My mission is now to get it through the MOT, needs a wheel bearing and a drivers side bush (common fault from what I've gathered!?)
Get it taxed and on the road for my dad who's borrowing/running it 'till I'm 17.

Any ideas/comments feel free to post! All will help me!

Thanks,

Dion!

Personally I wouldn't have painted the rear drums.

I think it looks a bit chavvy. All the boy racers round my way have enormous spindly alloys with brightly painted drum brakes sat in the middle.

Front callipers look nice though.

Thanks for the comment mate,
My plan was to do them black, but...
No black hammerite + Rusty rear drums = painting them yellow!

I think they look ok/better than before.

Thanks,

Dion!
