I agree, i really wanted mine in green caus it looked awesome, looks so much better in person too. I could have got green but i would have had to wait a few months for it, i bought my car beginning of august too so i could have also had it on a 62 plate lol im too impatient tho so red it was! ... Kinda jealous at the fact that my girlfriends mate has one in green on a 62 plate with 17" alloys... F***er haha

haha i agree with you pauly... i must admit i wasnt overly keep on my track grey car but i really have come to enjoy is especially with the mods ive done




im happy with it and wouldnt wanna change it

I said that bout my last one but when you keep ploughing money into it for repairs there becomes a point where enough is enough. Ill be changing mine every 2-3 years from now on

Pcp finance for the win! Haha thats the way im doing it anyway give the car back after 3 years and get a new one! I must admit ive been on the seat website on the car configurator and the new cupra looks perfect...shame the price isnt too attractive! 18500 starting.. I can pick up a second hand focus rs in lime green for that price lol

To be honest admiral always came up cheapest for me untill I turned 25. It's amazing the difference on where you live too. I can insure a lot of things for peanuts now lol.

How much the spoiler set you back? I keep looking on fleabay but never find anything.. must be searching for wrong thing :p

Also bit of a noob question.. I love the vinyl wrap on front and rear, is it easy to do? Any tips on not screwing it up and getting it stuck to my face?

The good thing about vinyl is if you screw up, you'll start all over again.
Spray & heat gun are your friends.



OP I wonder how the spoiler would look totally in black, I was wondering what color combo to do with mine. I just bought it, but ended up painting it white but I'll be vinyl wrapping my roof soon.
Let's see them pics!

Cheers,

I've seen a white Ibiza facelift near me today with a completely black spoiler and it looks odd :/ I'm not fond of it but its what each person and the op likes :) I quite like where its a black roof then part of the spoiler is black leaving the points the colour of the car, think there's a few cars on here like that as that's what I'm aiming for eventually :D

But Dean nice work on the Ibiza keep it up looking forward to more updates :). How does it look with the fr badges left in there colour and not black does it still suit it?
And does you boot release S badge rub with the wrap being on it?
