Knight85 's *MK4 Ibiza Tdi FR Luna Gray* Full mod list on page 1!

[knight85]

right...........awesome are sending me the facelift milltek backbox by the end of this week....even so...i really like what i have on there now, even if it is the pre-facelfift model....hopefully it should make the tail-pipe stick out just a bit more....then can flog the pre-facelift one....

any takerS?

aimez...yours arrived yet?

 

[Aimez]

No! Only yesterday fitted my ARB I bought a month ago as Whiteline sent the wrong U bolt and bolts! Then my car got a broken window and bent alloy not having much luck!
Hopefully will get it this week as Awesome have had them on back order they sold Milltek's entire stock! Think they said they were hoping for them in this week so sounds like they have if they have told you that

 

[knight85]

ok...nice one, well hopefully i can sell the pre-facelift back box on here for a few quid..i wonder how different the facelift one looks? if it is just a longer tail-pipe?

spacers are bought...and alloys getting refurbed later this month i hope...then its remap, tints and a RARB like yours, then i think im done

 

[Aimez]

Go back a page, Altech posted up a link pic the difference, I said I can't see the difference how will I know and he said to post a pic up when it arrives.

 

[knight85]

oh ok, just had a look...looks like the tail pipe is a bit longer, i presume to coincide with the faclift bumper.....making the tail-pipe stick out a bit?>

anywho, awesome are sending me the correct one and i will fit that and sell the one on there now, i can take photos of the difference between the two...from the side and from the top...this should help you dtermine it...

p.s. the exhaust sounds really nice when you go above 3000....been on holiday for 10days so was great to get back in the seat yesterday hahaha

would awesome not want it back? ar e they swapping it FOC or have you had to pay extra?

nope...they are sending it free of charge...and dont want the old backbox back.....as i live a good 200 miles i cant really drive there easily or take time of work to travel there for a fitting.

and as i paid someone to fit the current exhaust...im already out-of-pocket as will have to remove and replace..but as i said, if altech hadnt shown me the facelfit version i would not of noticed...i was pleased anyway...

i think its very amicable of awesome to do this, they realise they made an error with the shipping and have done their best to rectify it....and as i will basically have a brand new pre-facelift milltek backbox i should make the money back for getting it fitted..plus a little extra for the disruption etc....

thats pretty cool!! would have thoght awesome would have asked for it back to sell ob but fair play to you

yea fair one,

however, they did send wrong part, and i paid somehwere to remove and fit new exhaust, so would either have to drive to them to have it re-fitted (cost diesel and time off work) or pay someone else to remove and re-fit...therefore having them sending me the new one means i can recoup the money in selling it on...i hope!

anyway.....was pleased with awesome's customer service

so...this arb buy? im in!

 

[st10587]

ill add you to the list then haha

 

[knight85]

Exhaust looks so much better now you can see it! Still not fitted mind getting cupra bumper sorted next week then it can eventually go on.

How'd you rate the tyres fella? I'm gonna need some new ones - need more grip than the Toyo T1R's though....

 

[st10587]

exhaust is looking good, but is it not hanging a bit low and off to one side?

 

[knight85]
