my 2001 alhambra SE

[ibiza95]

ok so needed a bigger car as i have 2 sons, this may have been a little over kill but i like it, its spacious and great on the derv

as said its a 2001 SE has all the extras, sports seats, cruise control, climate control, captain seats headlight washers etc, it has 155k on the clock high i know but still drives smooth as few niggly bits to do ( me being picky) rear switch covers, rear arches showing signs that they will need a rub and spray soon and a few other little touch ups managed to get it for £1900 with half a tank of diesel in it, kids love it

Looking good

They look really cool pimped up a little, there's one I see locally with some uber cool looking alloys on it and tinted windows, looks way cool. I'd have one modded no bother, more poke too as well as looks.

cheers guys, ermm i may mod it a little but i think it looks great as it is, thinking of some merc rims as most i see local to me seem to have rs4 alloys or the slat type golf alloys so want to be a little different, a remap is on the agender after a full service, interior wise i want to put a double DIN dvd head unit in and a flip down screen in the roof for the rear passengers

Yeh totally, I don't mean go over board but some subtle things really make them look even better.

lol i know what you ment mate, i just ment im not sure what i want to do yet, thought about buuying those stainless side bars but cant find anywhere that sells them or any big enough pics so i can decide wether i like them or not

no updates as such for the car as it seems perfect to me i love it, getting roughly 100 miles out of a quarter of a tank so cheaper to run than my vento ( obviously )

had a mini valet done just as it was a little dirty

thnking of fitting an FK badgeless grill but want to make sure on quality of fit 1st as i had an fk grill for my vento and the fit was pants,

future shopping list over the next year:

have the bodywork freshened up
double DIN dvd/ satnav headunit,
roof mount dvd/screen
17"/18" wheels maybe merc or audi reps
remap
free flowing stainless exhaust ( no huge exit rear box tho )

thats it for now im a volkswagen lover and although they are in respect no different im glad to have a seat back

ok so i got a bit fed up of my alhambra looking like all the others around where i live so bought some team heko wind deflectors and an fk badgeless grill

and also some 18" alloys from my friends T4 van, just waiting to have the alloys acid dipped and powder coated then some fresh rubber and they shall be fitted

i will look into suspension in the new year to bring her down a little but not too much
