just wanted to put up my current car and it's progress

collected the car in June after trading in my old 1.4 Copa SE mk5

some pics of my old ibiza





Managed to get a good deal, it was an ex showroom model and got a good saving

It only had 600 miles on the clock, came in Tributu gold with opitional 17" alloys (targus i believe)







After about a week I put my subwoofer in the boot using a custom board I had built



didn't want anything stupid in terms of bass just something to compliment the current audio set up,

I then installed a sunstrip due to the fact the gap in the visors kept on letting though early morning sun



Followed by painting the calipers red



Afterwards carbon wrapped the front numberplate area




Followed by the lower bumber and tint to the front fogs



Afterwards, after hearing over the years about supposed problems with carbon buildup on direct injection engines I installed a catch can along with a k&n panel filter ( note I realized after I had plumbed into the wrong pcv and have since rectified this)



Next was a boost gauge installed using the forge adaptor



then I had a Break to go on holiday



As soon as I was back I started tinting the rear lights and changing the "R" On the badges to yellow, along with pressed metal plates and number plates surrounds and tinted indicators








Since the last pictures all I have done was fit 5mm spacers to the rear

After winter I am planning to Plastidip the alloys and get a light tint put on the rear windows, then i will Think about getting it lowered

Many thanks for reading and any feed back is welcome
 
time for a bit of an update,

not much extra has been added from the last time

got all the rear windows tinted, plastidipped the alloys, rear badges and chrome grill surround, added wind deflectors as you can see in the pics











then after having the inlet pipe snap on the turbo



got an inlet off a 1.2 tsi leon which is smaller and doesn't have the bend as a quick fix solution

since then have decided to keep it on the turbo and changed the intake for a cone filter



and thats as far as the project has gotten for now as got a few other cars that need repairing

any feedback welcome

thanks for reading
 
Carry on bud lol, yes it's just like spray painting, make sure you buy the proper plastidip though as the cheap stuff can damage the paint underneath and be a pain to remove which i learnt last week when i went to remove it due to part ex the car

Just recently signed up, love the colour and the changes so far.
Quick question, is it easy to tint the rear lights? Assuming you did it.
Tint spray or film?
 
Welcome to the club. No longer have the Ibiza as moved to a mk3 Leon fr but they are easy to tint. I use tint film. The easiest way I found to do it is to remove the lights, then apply the film whilst using a hair dryer to shape it.
 
Yozza, Got the pics up, would love some ideas from you as I loved your Gold FR!
