My 2012 ibiza fr build thread

[seatleon2012]

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

Same here I couldn't wait to get it and the one they had there was a 1.6tdi so was no good. There's always that colour next lol

 

[seatleon2012]

lol... i dont wanna buy another car after being tied down to another finance or getting a loan out to get a new car. i wanna keep this car and basically run it into the ground till it wont go no more..

 

[deanz cupra tdi]

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

 

[seatleon2012]

yeah i see what u mean mate... the car hasnt given me any problems at the moment i may deide to uprate everything im looking into getting about 180hp out of my 1.6 but it would cost me just over a grand

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

 

[seatleon2012]

i do like a nice green focus rs... to me none of the other colours suit it but the green

I duno like i do like it in the dark blue with black alloys! Only thing is my insurance will be too high as im only 20! Haha been driving 3 years tho so insurance dropping every year quote of 500 for my renewal on my fr. Considering i paid 900 first year !!

thats not too bad i passed my test and was driving since 8/9/10 so im hoping my insurance will be abit lower mine is about 950 quid all in on a multicar policy..when my renewal comes through if it is still high i may shop around on comparsion websites because i did a quote on a 1.6tdi leon ecomotive.. ame out 630 quid for a year i was likeb.l.o.o.d.y hell

 

[deanz cupra tdi]

£257 a year

 

[seatleon2012]

£257 a year

you lucky F......how did you wangle that one lol.....is it cause your years no claims..or because your age or..

 

[deanz cupra tdi]

2 years no claims but I'm a 26 ha ha

 

[seatleon2012]

i suppose your age....is it 25 when the quotes come down alot as im only just 23 and will be coming up to my 3rd years no claims....im on admiral multicar do u know or suggest any insurance companies that would be cheap but really good

 

[reece1591]

all about where you live aswell with insurance quotes mate from uni lived up north and he could insure a dc3 integra tyre r for 800 fully comp at 20 and i was paying 1500 on a saxo lol

 

[deanz cupra tdi]

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.

 

[seatleon2012]

thats good then i hope my quote this year is less than 800...if not illl have to shop around

 

[deanz cupra tdi]

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

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

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?
