MK4 Ibiza 1.4 SE on BBS Rx's

[Maboo]

At last I can start my very own RR!!

This is my '02 Seat Ibiza SE 1.4 16v which is pretty bog-standard atm. I bought it a year ago for a bargain price with 79k miles.

As a 1.4 I can't get much power from the engine, so I'm leaving it alone for now.
Focussing on cosmetics and handling for my future mods as I can transfer them onto my next car if its VAG (which it most likely will be as I've already started eyeing up audi's )

Current Spec:

- 1.4 16v with 84k miles
- Climate Control
- 3dr
- 15" alloy wheels

Future upgrades:

- New Wheels!
- Wheel Spacers
- Induction Kit
- HIDs 6000k H7r
- Paint the front brake callipers (red?)
- Front Strut Brace?
- Facelift or Cupra/FR front bumper
- Pressed Plates
- De-badge rear
- Lamin-x rear lights
- Silvertec indicator bulbs (front)
- Vinyl or spray front 'S' badge
- LCR Front Splitter
- VW Polo Rear Wiper
- Wheel Refurb
- Lower this tractor at the back maybe..

a lot of mods in very little time as i'm a uni student
&& being a student means very little money

Why can't I upload/link pictures from flickr?

No, you need 15 posts which you have.

On Flickr, go to the pic you want to upload, click on Share, then "Grab the HTML/BBCode", select the BBCode option, select a size, finally copy and paste the code into here!

new radio, but halfords gave me the wrong one as i wanted the red one, not blue

 

[Maboo]

So i found out that the BBS's were off a mercedes and had the pcd 5x112

I ordered some adapters from Germany which came within 4 days! even though it said 11-22 haha win.

They are effectively 20mm spacers too! woohoo

Yes i know my hubs are rusty as but I cba right now

I also sprayed some copper spray in-between the hub and the adaptor to stop them from molding/corroding etc

 

[Maboo]

The guys at my local garage let me borrow their tools (torque wrench, jack etc) as they know me so i bought them some beer in return

I really like the stance at the front, but its a bit of a tractor at the rear still

Washed and polished today although i appear to have missed a tiny bit! d'oh!

Nice base mate. I had BBS RX's on mine too, still have them in fact but they'll be sold by the weekend.

 

[Maboo]

Thanks mate

oh nice!
What would you recommend I do for mods?

 

[Maboo]

Quick update:


- Ordered some brake calliper paint in red
- Ordered K&N cone filter induction kit
- Swapped my Kenwood Stereo for the red version so it goes with my dash etc

Depends on your budget...but I think facelift FR or Cupra bumpers really improve the look of MK4 Ibiza's! And lowering springs or coilovers if your insurance allows.

well....i haven't noted the wheels on the insurance

but yeh deffo getting the facelift or Cupra front bumper

I was looking at the milltek/cupra backbox like yours but can't find just the backbox without the whole system and its expensive
