MattWood's Mk4 Ibiza TDi FR - SOLD - Now Civic Type R Championship White Edition

[Mattwood]

Here it is! i've had it 2 months now and thought i should get some pics up. it's completely standard (for the time being) although im not overly sure what i want to do with it yet (im a real noob when it comes to the whole modding lark).

Any comments/suggestions welcomed.

and my first little 'mod' (if you like)

looks like a god base, theres a few mods you could do like debadge the rear of the car, stubby ariel spaces for the rear wheels and try and get hold of some cheap facelift bumpers. ive got some for mine and they make a huge difference to the looks of the car.

Looks good and clean!

Things i would do personally straight away! And these are very cheap

Debadge the rear =Free
Fit Polo Aero Rear Wiper= About 25 quid

 

[Mattwood]

thanks for the input fellas - facelift bumpers are a must i think.....just gotta wait till ive got some money now also planning a remap, again once i have money. debadging may happen this week/weekend and i definately want aero wipers (they look rather smart)

 

[ossie-marc]

looks realy nice
ye i think facelift bumbers are a really gd idea
and debadging the bk would make it look alot clener
really nice though

Reminds me of my car as standard! Welcome to FR ownership. Have a look at my thread for mod ideas if you like... none of them particularly expensive and mosty of them DIY jobbies!

 

[Mattwood]

Cheers ossie-marc!...debadging is on the weekend's agenda, whether it'll get done or not is another matter as i unfortunately have a busy weekend, so not much time to spend doing the car

Gooner Mike:- I've been trawling though your thread, and your car is bang on! i really like it - given me a bit of gusto to get on and do something!

Thanks

Nice motor, might be worth seeing if you can get the side strips colour coded as well.

MattWood's Mk4 Ibiza TDi FR - *Small Updates*

well, after months of procrastiating and spending my time and money on other things, i finally got started with the car

Gave it a good wash on monday, and debadged the rear (with the exception of the 'TDI' badge. I'm proud to have a TDI )

From This:

To This:

I also ended up needing new front wipers, so bought a set of aero blades (polo rear wiper coming this weekend, if money allows)

Just Fitted a Citroen stubby aerial this morning, but as im at work, ill upload the pictures later tonight.

Thanks For Looking!

So, as this is the last car forum I was a part of....

I negected this thread immensely and never really go on with updates. But the main points are;

Had a remap - was wicked
refurbed the alloys with spray tins - looked boss
Sold it in 2011.

Went to something rear wheel drive summer toy, no abs, no traction control, no power steering, no roof, semi slick tyres;



Which I still have an love.

Then in December 2014 I felt the urge to have a car again, so I do!



It's a little bit different and certainly nowhere near the 50+ mpg the Ibiza used to get, but its bundles and bundles of fun!!

Cheers
