[JonnyH10]

No updates as such but I thought I'd put up a few pics

Bought this cool wee limited edition keyring by G23 Engineering on a Edition 38 group buy

Then show prep began for GTINI Castlewellan!

And a few pics on the way to & at the show...

Plans now are to get the front lowered more (which will involve buying a new adjuster for one of the coilovers and fitting that ), buy wider front adapters to help clear the suspension and give a better stance and I still have a Cupra spoiler sitting here...need to get that painted!

Cheers for looking!

 

[JonnyH10]

Small update...got these today thanks to DPM Performance

35mm FK adapters & a new spring perch/adjuster for one of my KW front coilovers

Hopefully get these fitted soon, and that'll allow me to lower the front all the way down and push the wheels further out of the front arches!

 

[Maboo]

wow mine are 20mm all round and they stick out a little bit...35mm is gonna be mental haha

 

[JonnyH10]

Not really, the wheels have a very high offset so need wide adapters to clear the suspension. I have 20mm on the front at the minute, and the wheels JUST clear the struts. Has to be about 1mm between them lol. So 35mm will give more room between them, and give a better stance.
Oh and the adapters on the rear are 45mm

 

[Maboo]

oh yeah I see where you're coming from.
its going to look so good with a slightly wider stance then
What a beast

 

[JonnyH10]

Haha I wouldn't say its a beast, all show and no go but its served me well
Thanks man!

 

[JonnyH10]

Well I got the front lowered all the way down and the adapters fitted!
Hit a problem when we took the drivers side coilover out to fit the new adjuster...the adjuster has the wrong thread, so wont fit the coilover. So I got the mechanic to clean the threads out and refit the old adjuster again until I can get sorted with the correct adjuster from KW.

Heres a picture of it lowered before I fitted the adapters...

Noticed that the drivers side goes a bit lower than the passenger side, as one is a basic-line and the other an inox-line coilover. Might have to raise the drivers side to match, and reduce the tyre rubbing on the bumper plastics/screw.

And then tonight I fitted the adapters...

Before

After

Will get some better pictures tomorrow after I give it a wash!

Looks loads better with the new spacers on, sits a lot better now rather than the wheels been tucked away in the arches

Thanks! Yea it does look better, but now the fun begins having to listen to it rubbing the arches/bumper mounts lol

Pros and cons of lows, I want mine lowered but just going for some h&r springs though as I don't want to buy a cheap set of coilovers, want some different wheels but can't find any I like the look of that's different to what everyone has, found a lovely set of BMW split rims but the off set is something like 20

 

[JonnyH10]

Thats true lol, just have to live with it when your lowered.
H&R springs should be good for comfort/handling, seem to be the best manufacturer out there.

Ah yea ET20 is too low when you need adapters on top of that. Depends on the width too though, but I'm guessing they are at least 7.5" if its BMW wheels.
Only option would be re-drilling the wheels to 5x100, thats if they are flat backed and have a centre cap that covers the bolt holes.

Few more pics

Now that is a fit Ibiza, one thing I'd do is get some smoked side repeaters, just put some on my Ibiza and it looks loads better than the chrome ones, got the back lights to tint with some film but need to buy some led bulbs so the lights are brighter

 

[JonnyH10]

Its already got smoked side repeaters lol! Might just be the pictures that make them look like standard chrome ones.
Cheers man!

The only led bulbs that work in the rear is the reverse and fog light btw t18

what the R symbol on the window?

 

[JonnyH10]

what the R symbol on the window?

Do you mean the red sticker on the rear window? Thats a seatcupra.net sticker

I think he means the restricted plate you had on when you started the thread.

 

[JonnyH10]

Ahh right. Yea in Northern Ireland when you pass your driving test you have to display a "R plate" for 1 year to show that you are restricted to 45mph.
