Thought I'd put finally put some pics of my car up, made a few small touches but spend most of my time keeping it mint. Plans for the future are for alot more power, just deciding what route to go down at the moment

Anyway, bought it in October last year, all standard bar tints and supersprint backbox. Have since added -

6000k HID's
LCR Splitter
Coilovers
20mm Hubcentric rear spacers
Painted standard wheels white
Full respray due to fading
Open induction kit
Forge Split-R DV
S2000 Aerial
Private plate
Numberplate surrounds

Thats about it I think....

Pics -

Thanks mate :)

Just used some G101 degreaser on the engine bay with a brush, then hosed it all off, quick and easy really

Thanks for the comments everyone :)

karls_cupra - thanks mate yes Im running hubcentric spacers on the rear, 20mm but these are causing a bit of rubbing at the moment as Ive lowered it another 10-15mm since taking these pictures. Im after some 10mm spacers to replace them now

looks immaculate!! what wax do you use on it?

Cheers I do try to keep it clean! After the respray it had the Autoglym lifeshine treatment, I use AG super resin to polish it, and Dodo Juice banana armour to wax it

just ordered some off ebay, £27.99, free delivery, ideal :D

Yeah not far from you mate, think I've seen your Ibiza on SSS recently. Enjoy the Dodo Juice, it smells awesome :p

Where did you get the plate surrounds from?

Bought them from a mate, think he originally got them from Dubmeister

UPDATE!!

Fitted the uni FMIC, and a turbosmart dual-port DV, and relocated it to coldside, really impressed with the sound of it! Also got a SEAT Sport strut-brace

Got some red tinting spray from ebay and decided to do something with the standard rear lights, seeing as there are no decent aftermarket sets available. I masked off the everything apart from the reverse and indicator parts, and applied the tinting spray. Very impressed with the result, nice and shiney, you can't tell they've been sprayed

Have a 3" downpipe/decat and centre section being made up at the moment which should be finished shortly and fitted by the end of the week :)

Went to a rolling road day and ran the car, but was disapointed with the result... 10 minutes before my run I took the car for a drive to warm it up, and a coilpack decided to fail. Luckilly I had a spare one in the boot so we changed it there and then

Was running again but as you can imagine still smelling of fuel and a bit lumpy. Ran the car anyway and it made 170bhp, was hoping more toward 190 having stage 1 AmD map. Going to try again now the FMIC is fitted, and when the new exhaust is on
