My Mk4 Ibiza Cupra...56K beware!

[gazjones]

i like the red and black but i really do like the wheels as they are also i think that some things are best kept standard. if you kerb them and they need refurbing then maybe change them

 

[iancupra]

Would look better all black, Stealth mode

 

[Sisson]

Them black and red ones look awesome...

But car will need lowering to pull it off completely

i know what your saying gaz, am doing well so far though, havent kurbed the wheels since i got them ... prob just jinxed myself

i am wanting to do something different with the wheels instead of just spraying them one colour. Need to find somewhere now that does wheels to try and find out a price

a problem that i will have if i do it, is when the wheels are off being sprayed, i will most likely have to put my car up on bricks as i cant find a spare set of wheels to put on and cant even use steelies due to the size of the front brakes!! will work on that one when i get there!

Finally got round to spraying my nomad a-pillar pod that i brought back in october last year!! wanted it sprayed black so it looked more factory fitted, and it blended into the car, now just gotta find someone to fit it for me!!

a nice little surprise i had when i went to collect it, the paint he used had a bit of red metal flake in it, shines up really nice in the light. goes well with the red bits in the interior to

 

[gazjones]

looks good why didnt you go with a mat black carbon finish to match the rest of the interior? but nice job and red flake looks good

Very nice

i had just asked him to spray it black for me as i thought it would be close to the colour of the dash, etc. still looks good though, looks better than the creamy colour it comes in when you first get it

Which of these wheels do people prefer on my car??

or.......

i personally prefer the top ones, the multi spoke dish ones, but have been told by a few people that the oz ultraleggeras look good aswell! am all confused!!

 

[revo]

i prefer the second!

 

[tris]

Top 1 for me Jay

 

[Cupra_Jay]

there is a local wheel shop about 5 mins from me where i have seen an e30 bmw with the top wheels on, but i think they where 16's and in a dark silver, looked alright. might see if they sell them, and if i can get 1 or 2 to hold up against my car to see what they look like

 

[Cupra_Jay]

fitted my a pillar pod and boost gauge this afternoon. isnt wired up as i dont know how to do that! here are the pics....

looks really nice and you can see the red glitter on it when the sun hits it still. now to buy the other gauge and then get it all wired and fitted properly!!

Looks good mate

I need something better than the screw in mine, can easily be moved up and down/pulled out. What have you used?

If you run the wires where the pillar hits the dash, these will come out near the fuse box. From there depends upon what the wires are being used for eg power, itermitent 12v etc.

have used a massive screw in mine, is slightly bigger than the hole in the pillar pod as i need to screw it into that to get it to go through. then used a hammer to tap it into the hole whre the plug came from. is still a very little bit of movement, but nothing that bothers me

yeah, have run the wires down the inside of the dash and left them behind the little box thats below the steering wheel so i can get to them. just got to work out how they can be run to the other side of the car and out through the grommet behind the glove box. unless there is another way of running the wires into the engine bay.......

The modding finally begins.........

[Cupra_Jay]

isnt much louder than the standard one, but im happy with it! just got my green panel filter now to fit when that turns up...but need to take off my strut brace first as i cant get into the airbox as it sits right on top of it

[Cupra_Jay]
