There used to be quite a few SHL and RHL's in kiwi round this area,but many seem to have fallen by the wayside. Still got my RHL that was supplied new from Chesterfield though.

Awesome looking car, looks to be in great condition. What brand of coil overs did you order? I have seen those hot tuning ones on ebay but dont know what they are like.

Excellent guys, they sound the business and are priced really well. Once I get my car up to scratch with all the stuff it needs these will be the first mod. BTW are pod filters a good mod on the Ibiza? Or is there another intake setup to use?

Cruiser87 Your car looks sweet as, the one I bought is a 99 Gti in alpine white too. What does yours have in the front spoiler fog light area?

The coilovers you are talking about come as Ta Technix, which alot of us on here are using and all say they same, they are great value for money.

Its Craig btw, it looks better on the pics than it actually is, the front needs a respray as its covered in stone-chips etc but that will be recified next year hopefully.

I wish mine was a gti but Im happy with it. I dont have anything where the foglights should be, just a black plastic cover to cover up the holes.

Well the 8 valve is my daily run around and the 16 valve is going to be my project over the winter to turn into a track car. If I have the funds after Christmas I am going to stip out the interior, put a role cage in, bucket seats with harness's, lower her slightly. She has allready got a full de-cat stainless exhaust system, induction kit and apparatnly has been chipped so is one serioulsy fast car. I'm not sure whether to put the tiger stripe interior and red seat belts into the 8 valve or give them to someone on here.
