Goodbye 1.4

[deadeyejim]

Yesterday I traded in my trusty 05 plate 1.4 Ibiza Sport

But I came away with a brand new Ibiza FR TDi

Happy doesn't begin to describe me at the moment, finally I have some power.

Couple of quick piccies below.

Welcome to the Diesel dark side! nice looking car mate, i have the pre face lift model and to this day i am still very happy with it. Mine has been custom-coded and its great! You may not think you will want it remapped at the moment? but i am certain that within a year or two you will have it done!

Did you get a good deal on the car?

NIce one m8. You wont be dissapointed, that I can assure you!
Had an 2003 ibiza 1.4 SE before untill I traded it fot the FR TDi 2004 last year .

I still had finance running on the old car which was taken from the trade in value of the old car, but there was another 750 quid off the list price. In total car is costing me 10600.

Dont worry enjoy your new car

front and rear are the meanest around currently on any hot hatch/supermini but why on gods name didnt they put skirts on as standard????
From the side it looks very plain. I Think stocky put skirts on his and looked immense.

Bit of a jump in power? Looks lovely mate

Loved driving my FR - just wish it hadn't have had to go back to the stealer so many times - definately a Friday afternoon car mine......

 

[deadeyejim]

My 1.4 gave me quite a few problems, faulty speed sensor and fuel sender amongst them.

Hopefully the FR will be better behaved

I have to admit my 1.4 gave me a few problems.
Sometimes the engine management lights will come on and goes off after sometime by itself!
Was told by dealer its a common fault on the petrol.
Had the electric window mechanism busted...glad got that fixed under warrenty
Apart from that been a really good car

Forget the power, I'd want to drive around in it as SLOW as possible - so EVERYONE gets to see how MEAN the Front and Rear end look now!!!

Lovely car mate, that Red really does show off the facelift Front/Rear ends beautifully!

Red and Yellow are the best colours for the facelift IMO

Yet another member of the 1.2/1.4 to 1.9 Tdi gang..... I hope to see you guys soon!

 

[Ibiza 130 tdi]

Welcome to diesel! bet you notice poo loads of difference in power? I test drove a 1.4 sport before getting my 130 tdi. I was very disappointed tbh. aaronbromley is right, i havent had mine 4 months yet and want more power! lovely car. the red looks dead nice polished up. enjoy!

.....maybe one day, I'll be one too....!! Nice car to upgrade to. Love the looks of the facelift.

Had my 1.4SX a year now and it's just about to go in for it's first service under my ownership. I used to whinge quite a bit a bout the power but it's been surprising me lately, a couple of tankfuls of Shell VPower seems to act like spurs on the boots of a cowboy. It responds much better now and I'm sure it's not just the placebo effect as I haven't found myself cussing in frustration for a week or two now. Just hope the service doesn't destroy that!!

Still, I'd like an upgrade one day, can't see it being for a few years yet though..

looks great in red, it would deffo be my second choice.

 

[T. Spark]

The new bumpers do look very nice in red dont they!

Id be tempted to get some skirts to finish it off

 

[Nath.]

V nice
almost as nice as the yellow

 

[chillcupra]

Hmm, looks like it might not be my work after all, as I can see these ones... but I did check the thread a few days ago, so probs hasnt had otre-load.

Maybe a error on the forum loading link to images this morning?
