Would love some amg rims Ed, unsure how I could make it work though.....can you have material taken off the mounting face of the wheel to increase the ET?? :whistle:

Exhaust is a custom jobby, it may be coming off at some point as I prefer a more stealth approach.

Maxpower! Living the dream :happy: You cant steal my ideas kenny :p

Buy the alloys with no holes drilled in them and get them machined to fit the ibiza or buy adaptors.

"You cant steal my ideas kenny:p"

:lol:dont worry mate found a set i want just need to get the cash for them should be different to the usual options people go for.:funk:

I cant go to amg and ask for some with the correct p.c.d.......would be handy mind :happy:

Got my eye on a set of wheels at the moment, just need to make a cheaky offer (Probably get refused). These are the ones I have always wanted for it :)

Think venom motorsport or similar companys sell adaptors so wheels would be able to fit must be possible after all, found them on a mk5 golf. So worst case scenario being get some minor arch work:shrug:.

Mk5 golf has same pcd as a merc 5 x 112, so the wheels fit, ibiza has 5 x 100. Spacers can work if the ET is suitable, mercs usually have an ET similar to the ibizas so when you add on a 20mm spacer the wheel is going to stick out quite abit. Ideally if your going to use spacers the wheels need to be in the region of ET50.

Unsure what to do on the mods front, just some personal touches, try to be different from the usual mk4 style.........that aero rear wipers going in the bin :happy:

The offer on the rims was abit to cheeky :happy: 9' rears and 7' fronts are abit extreme on the old stagger anyhoot.

James...just a back box mate

Had a bit of a close shave yesterday, someone decided to indicate and not turn. Somehow he just skimmed my front leaving me with a big black mark and his with sod all, got home and it came off with a wipe....must have been tyre rubber!

So he didn't leave the scene with a black eye to match your black mark then? I did wonder why I hadn't seen you in MK2 section so much - traitor! Though I'm one to talk, with a Leon and all :eek:
