But maybe one for the future....
Wait and see. Rememeber: two mods to guess!Hmmm, this another edition of "Guess Gooner Mike's Mods"? (I could work for The Sun with titles like that)
"Mike in ebay cheapo mod shocker!" I like to keep you all guessing anyway... two mods to guess this time.sweet car! i love to follow your progress, that gives me an ideas for the future
why don't you paint the bump strips with the same color as you car?
Cheers mate! I am going to keep the rub strips black as they fit in with the "grey and black" colour scheme I am going for.
Do we want clues then folks? Two mods to guess.... One is definately going on the car as soon as it arrives. The other is sat in my garage and I'm undecided....
Rear light tint? Sun shades? Number plate surround? Wheel nut covers?...
I've no idea to be honest!

Car looks really smart, comes up very well when it was washed. I need to do mine now, been 2 weeks now!
How easy was the fog to remove, looks easy enough? I need to take mine out at some point.

Nope, not a diesel engine.
The fogs were mega-easy to remove. Just pop off the small bit of trim and undo two screws. Unconnect the cable and voila! I did it to get a bit more air directly to the SMIC and I think it looks pretty good too.Could be on to something there Altech...
Nope, but maybe a future mod....
Most guesses wrong cupra.al but.... YES, I have purchased some Heko wind deflectors from ebay. Will get some pics up as soon as I have received and fitted them!
Any guesses on the second mod then? They are currently sat in my garage....
So not a FMIC then, Mike?
I've got a load of parts waiting for me to fit to mine again
No FMIC yet... still looking for a cheap one to crop up on here though!
What are you fitting to yours then?
You got a boost gauge, Mike? Cant remember..
Mine might be up for sale soon
I do, same position as yours pal. Took my inspiration from yours.... Are you going for a new gauge or a new location too? Maybe a Nomad pillar holder?

Oi! What's wrong with a diesel engine
And I've been considering wind deflectors for a while now, but still unsure how about they'll look. Seen some chavs with them and they look awful. But seen some cars on here and they look great. So still undecided!
Is your other mod a bubble machine that blows bubbles out the exhaust (can you tell I was watching Pimp My Ride on some random channel in the early hours of this morning?
)
I have picked up some FK coilovers... Now, I have seen one or two bad things about them on here but they seem OK. The springs need a rub down and a lick of paint but the shocks seem to be fine. No leaks, rattles or suspect movement from them! The adjustable collars seem to be stuck but I have yet to "attack" them with any force. Not sure what to do; I could get them fitted as they are, but I have no idea how low they will be at the front on their current position.

What model FK's are they? I've got FK Konigsports fitted to mine. Ride comfort isn't the best but the drop they give is great.
A good soak in WD40 should free up the adjusters. If they're really stuck you could attach both 'C' spanners...get someone to hold one of them, then give the other spanner a whack with a hammer and that should knock it free
Not sure what FKs they are TBH... another cheapo ebay bargain I found! Will attack the adjusters next week. The Ibiza FR ride isn't the most comfy anyway, so not sure what to expect with these. Bought them mainly to get the arse down...
If your not going to attack the adjusters till next week then just give them a squirt of WD40 every few hours while your in the house, it should be enought to free them up mate
I bought some "shock and unlock" spray from Halfrauds the other day for the job. WD40 will do it too?
