Ibiza FR 1.8t 244bhp - Replica splits wheel refrub Pg.3

[geo7087]

Ok so i should have done this a while back but i failed a bit really.... Here is My Ibiza 6l Facelift FR

I bought the car kind of as a mistake, it was at a dealership ion Devon where i went to view a Type R... spotted this on the fore court and drove it...

shortly afterwards the paperwork was signed and i picked it up a few days later with a fresh MOT... a warranty... and a full valet (that included an air freshener that made my car smell like a *****s handbag...)

Here is the spec of some of the work, All work done via AmD Tuning in Essex.

Milltek Turbo back exhaust with sport cat.
Various Forge Boost Hoses
Seat Sport Intercooler (quite large)
Stage 1 Helix Clutch (rated to 400ft/lbs),
Stage 2 AmD Custom Remap,
Forge 007 Recirculation Valve,
K and N Induction (green panel and airbox included)
312mm Audi TT calipers, ATE discs and Ferrodo DS2500 pads with recently fitted OEM rear discs and ATE pads,
AP Coilovers,
Light smoke window tint all around (apart from windscreen),
Sound Deadening plus Thermal and Sound Insulation in rear quarters and boot.
4300 HID Kit.

Last RR printout shows 244bhp and 305ft/lbs

Since buying I've done the following

- Removed AMD tuning and Forge decals
- Fitted original "FR" badge to rear brand new from Seat
- Colour coded (Black Magic) Grilles
- Bonnet Bra (currently removed)
- Fitted my audio
- Smoked side repeaters
- Carbon Trimmed B Pillars, behind plate, rear diffuser, centre console, mirror caps
- LCR Splitter
- Red FMIC Hose

And here are some of the recent pictures of the car

I've ordered my choice of new wheels tonight and very much looking forward to them arriving, long term wise i want to make some big interior changes as its relatively standard, I'm planning to run the car rather low, tucking 17's.

Let me know what you think

My Old car, Decked on coilovers with 9j all round Schmidt Wheels, 1.8 16v

looks good mate any plans?

Yeh a few, mainly get new wheels on which I've just ordered, wanted to look into Miltek decat but can't find one anywhere. Apart from that want to look into interior re-trim, some paintwork and possible some smoothing.

Also going to remove the rear adjusters and drop the front

New wheels are here, centres caps have been ordered, carbon BBS versions. the wheels are 17 inch, 8j wide

Centres will be refurbished in colour next month

Can be... lol

I'm a bit OCD with cleaning though tbh, the cars been fully machined polished since i've owned it and recieved a 5-6 hour detail every weekend weather allowing.

Cheers to all for the nice comments, I've had the front arches rolled today to allow for clearance, going to adjust the coilovers either tomorrow or next week
