Ibiza Mk4, Glacier Blue, facelifted, diamond cut Mercedes 8 holes, mk5 golf gti seats

so i went out and bought an ibiza, its only a 1.4 sx but a nice little car. so here it is...

it came with a tow bar on which was annoying me for ages so it was time for it to go, took the bumper off (really easily) and then the impact bar and took it off.

...and so the modding began, started off my buying all the chrome stuff for the interior which smartens it up a lot. then i bought the chrome mirrors (i know people on here don't really like them but on this colour i don't think they look overly bad.)

...also bought the chrome grill kit but haven't got a picture of this yet.

then i de-badged the rear and de-wipered, i think this gives it a really smooth look!

i then went on the look for some new alloys as i wasn't really keen on the standard alloys. i bought these off a member on here for a good price and there like brand new!

annoyingly on the way home from picking these up some old man in a brand new merc decided to drive into the back of me at some traffic lights, so i ended up having a **** 1.2 corsa while it got fixed!

finally got the car back and fitted the new alloys

then i ordered some audi tt pedels and a metal footrest plate as it just looked boring before

decided to then paint the calipers

thats the lot for now, give me your views people!

Looking good mate, not to keen on the chrome mirror covers tbh. Splitter and lowered would set it off anything else planned?

 

[chief_kris]

cheers mate, i've kinda gone off them too now with the black alloys, in the process of spraying the originals black! splitter and lowered are my next jobs not sure what else at the moment.

 

[oneofthetwins]

think that would do it tbh ! would look the doggies bits when its lowered, and i was going to say that black wingmirrors would go well with the wheels

Looks really nice! Same colour as mine, so I guess I'm biased.

You say you've bought a chrome grill kit... don't fit the 2 side ones, I think they look cheap. I'd just fit the big middle one.

 

[chief_kris]

I love the colour!

I have fitted the 2 side ones I don't think they look too bad tbh but I suppose people have different tastes

there mate once you've bought it just send the guy a message saying you want one for an ibiza and wether you want it plain or he can put fr on it

 

[mjstokes85]

Nice, thanks for that. How hard are they to screw in then, do you have to make holes in the existing footrest? It also looks like the bits where there are rubber on the TT pedals is just like a hole on the footrest, is that right?

 

[chief_kris]

just remove the foot rest drill 3 holes and put it back in 10 minute job! and yes there just holes

 

[mjstokes85]

I didn't even know the footrest could be removed, does it just pull off? Is there anything underneath it?

 

[chief_kris]

theres a screw at the top, no just the carpet

 

[mjstokes85]

Ah right thanks, will have a look later!

 

[chief_kris]

[oneofthetwins]
