Mk1 Ibiza System Porsche

[aaronipswich]

What size would you go for ??
How about a set of Porsche phone dial wheels or some d90s to stay with that Porsche theme

I think 16's would be too big for the car really. plus the cost and ballache of converting 4x98 to 5x130. I had thought about some P slots off the mk2 gti's

It sits quite well on 5spoke, which suprised me

Heres some of the photoshops from rarerims website

MK1 Golf P-Slots are what you want

 

[aaronipswich]

Try the p slots on it as well
I kinda like number 2 & 3 I think dark wheels will ruin it white or red look good

 

[old 'uns]

No. 3, lowered, paint the handles & bumpers White...job done

 

[Pervy_Paul]

Yeh white was my intial plan, but the compomotive TH's would be worth 5 times more than the car! lol

If anyone wants to photoshop the P slots on then feel free, Im pretty useless with photoshop

I think having the bumpers white will be too much whiteness tbh

I'll stick a spare bit of vinyl on and see how it looks

 

[aaronipswich]

What about ronal turbos then ??

 

[Pervy_Paul]

Yeh I'd looked at turbo's but they'd need powercoating white, which again puts the costs up. Id be amazed if the Mk1 is worth £300, even totally mint.

I've found replica Rota GT3's for £295 brand new, in either white or red. P slots can come in pretty cheap, just not sure about going down the oem vw route, when technically this things a bloody Fiat lol

Thanks for the feedback guys, Finally wrapped the last panel today. All looking pretty decent.

Also had a free sample of some wrap my supplier just got in. Didnt ask for it, but I thought it would be a shame to waste it. So I set about wrapping the original badges

I'd already done the 1.2 badge, but a quick pic of the Seat badge before dunring and after stylee

Thats the back end back together. Getting a bung for the rear wiper hole. Cant see the point in re-fitting it when it wont get used anyway

Bumpers half off, but 1 bolt is well and truely seized and I've got a broken thumb at the min so that will be staying put for a while!

I saw this on RR - looks better than they did new!

 

[drka-drka]

Woooh this thing is so cool, would put many the 60 plate cars on here to shame

 

[Pervy_Paul]

Thanks guys, had a few people slag it off on another forum, which doesnt bother me, Its not my ideal retro car but it was free, and needed saving from the crusher.

I took the back wheel off at the weekend, to see what I can do about lowering the back end. Was amazed how clean it was down there.

Quick wipe with a damp microfibre and it looked like this (yep thats all original even the drum)

 

[Pervy_Paul]

Well I got the bumper off this morning, yet again I was amazed how clean it was behind there.

Quick wipe with a cloth and it looked like this

Decided while it was off that I may aswell bang a big of underseal on there to prevent any future rust from appearing

Thinking I might satin black the bumpers while they're off, wont do them white cus I think it just looks too much.

I'll be doing the same to the front when I get time, Maybe get her down to the garage and get a fresh MOT on, but that might wait untill next springtime.

 

[JordanMk3]

White bumpers would look decent mate do ittt

 

[Pervy_Paul]

I think all white is just a bit much.

 

[cupra.al]

I think all white is just a bit much.

agree.

 

[drka-drka]

Yup too much white

 

[Pervy_Paul]

The retroness continues

Just won these on ebay

Need a bit of work to bring them upto scratch, but hopefully they'll look half decent on the ibiza for a while. Only cost £72 aswell
