MK4 Ibiza Sport 1.4

Standard at the moment but i have plans for the future. New body kit and wheels on the cards i think.

Will a LCR splitter fit that front bumper?

[lil3520]

that wheel needs looking at.

 

[holmesy55]

yea mate, lcr splitter will fit with a bit of modification. Have a wee search. Loads of stuff on it.

Seems like a good base to work from. If you dont want to get shafted for insurance there are a few mods you can do that wont affect it.

LCR splitter, fr grills, debadge rear, aero wipers. Just small subtle things that will make it look that wee bit nicer.

Nice clean car mate.

A set of 20mm rear spacers aswell to push the wheel out in the arch wold be nice.

But as said above, plenty of things you can do on a budget.

 

[Barghy]

got the same car but in red

 

[Death Proof]

Thinking about refurbing the wheels? and ideas on prices for all 4?

 

[Barghy]

hmm probably similar price to get new alloys i could imagine...? correct me if im wrong

 

[Death Proof]

yeh, just thinking about the re-sale price. I'm going to do the small subtle things first. I'll have a years ncb in november (fingers crossed) then i'll start doing the bigger mods.

 

[Death Proof]

Seat TomTom........ sad i know but just a bit of fun....

 

[Death Proof]

OK.... first job on the list, i need to remove the rust and then paint (without taking them off)

What colour, Black or Red???
(sorry about the poor quality)

 

[Andywest2k1]

how you going to get the rust off and paint matey as im also looking at doing this?

Nice car aswell mate. Change the rear wiper, makes the back end look sooooo much beta!

 

[BJM]

Gie them a quick once over with a wire brush then a few coats of hammerite - Red if it was my choice!

What about the rear drums? Im not wanting t paint them red or anything, just get rid of the rust.

 

[Death Proof]

Tools iv used and cost.
Halfords
Wire brush £1.99
Paint prep wipes £1.99
Mammerite Smooth Black 250ml £5.99

B&Q
Bottle of Turps £1.48
Touch-up brush £1.48 Total cost £12.93

Time: About 3 hours

I wish i got some Axle stands £12.99 from halfords. I dont recomend working on the car with the standard jack for such a long time. Nurofen Plus for the back pain!

Before

After

Wipe down with a paint prep wipe. Then the First coat of paint

(Still wet! After putting the wheel back on i realized i should have painted closer to the holes)

2nd coat on tomorrow + a propper digital camera to take the pics.

 

[lukekbrown]

You should of painted the drums and callipers silver. Don't show out too much and look quite nice.

 

[Death Proof]

Iv put the wheel back on and it looks loads better than before. i'll have the 2nd coat on and i'll take another pic with the wheel on tomorrow or friday.

 

[bertrum]

Jon, did you paint the front calipers aswell? Get a pic up cause I was thinking of black myself... or maybe white

 

[MK8]

Keep us updated with the completed pics, want to paint my drums as they are rusty aswell. but i want the colour that will hide them the most, so cant decide between black or silver
