Lewis's Ibiza GTI 16v - Dyno'd @ 150.8hp/187nm

[Lewis_B]

Some pictures of a few things done to the car recently. Ill get a picture of the rear aero wiper as soon as I put it on. Amazing how some of the simple 'clean' mods tidy up a fairly old car.

Aero Wipers

LED number plate bulbs

White/blue LED side lights

White xenon headlight bulbs

Thanks
Lewis

Nice car, shame its got single headlights like said.

Also them seats, being a W-reg, shouldn't it have half leathers? (sorry not nit-picking, just confused), wheels suit it nice.

What uni you at? I graduated from Cov Uni doing Automotive Engineering (Now work at JLR as CAD Support Engineer)

Thanks Yea as said before the last owner replaced them for some reason. Id imagine genuine 16v lights will be pretty rare. I'm a 2nd year at Coventry, studying Automotive Design. No idea about the leathers, although I plan on buying some for it eventually

Oh in Cov too, awesome for Design/Engineering.

Will keep eye out for car, keep eye out for my Bora (standard now) or my 200sx which will be insured next week.

As I am always around by Alma, friends live there (and I work at JLR in Cov)

*Edit: also go to dub meet in my sig (get onto edition38, there is a thread about)

Oooooo..... De-wipering the rear window?!

 

[Lewis_B]

Oooooo..... De-wipering the rear window?!

Lol not that, I have a aero wiper on there now will get pics some time. Kinda like having it as removing it doesnt change it all that much compared to say a saxo. Meh anyway. Ill put a teaser pic up soon. Not that interesting probably but there you go

[Lewis_B]

Just out of interest how hard is it to dewiper? Pain in the ass on the saxo so it kinda put me off.

Sat in my room awaiting procedure

Random pic at work today

Pic from last week after a clean.

Maywell have some 25mm spacers for the rear to go on, Ive got a gay VAG sticker for the front and I'm still trying to sort out my stubby aerial.

Cheers

 

[Lewis_B]

Big update today for ya'll. Re-trimmed the headlining in suede, sprayed the interior pillars black, added some 20mm spacers to the rear, put my aero wiper on the rear. :A:

Stripping down starts

Headlining out

Ready to re-trim
