So after owning the car for nearly a year now, I thought it would be a good idea to get one of these going, and keep up to date with progress (Or lack of...) ;)

Mk5 Ibiza SC 1.4 Petrol
Speed blue
17'' Alloys in satin black

Well finally the day arrived. After waiting 9 weeks, I was able to pick up my speed blue SC from the dealer

Slight scratch on the roof, and a glue like mark on the passanger door card when I picked it up, but this was all sorted within a week, so no grumbles there.

When I picked it up from the dealer

Within an hour or so of having it, the first thing I did was change the grille, to an FR grille.

After the first decent clean

Then I decided to put in 501's and 264 Ultra bulbs after reading everyone else's views on improving the Ibiza. Such a difference.

Also changed the number plate light bulb, but it doesn't light it all up, so changed it back to standard

Happy with this!

After looking at loads of Mk5's with the spoiler, I needed one in my life, so ordered one off Sere motors

Got it sprayed up and fitted to the car

Parked up next to a Galia blue Cupra at a VAG meet in the summer

It stayed like this for a couple of months whilst I enjoyed it, but the the next step was to reduce the vast amount of arch gap! So purchased a lovely set of 35mm Apex springs from DPM.

Getting lowered

The finished product. Straight after, so has settled since.

And yesterday, I changed the washer jets from the pansy little 3 squirters to the mist ones. Will get a pic up soon :)

Good question......
I would like a small audio install, but the problems you would have from the standard head unit would put me off straight away, as I wouldn't want to change it.

As for anything else, i need idea's!

Looking good and best colour ;) check out my thread as ive just done a boot instal for my mk5 by installing a fake floor in the rear about 7 inches high so you still keep a fairly large boot but the sub has enough room to move. As you mentioned in your thread i just need a new headunit now.

Quick question,
how much rougher is the ride with the lowered springs?
i have the same wheels and im looking to buy the same springs but i really want to know how much it will affect my ride and handling.

cheers

Hi Jon, I am now the proud owner of the other blue cupra in one of your photos. Small world :)
