My Unusual Ibiza Project

[Logan 5]

**** NEW PICS UPLOADED ****


How Do People?

Let me know what you think of this . . . . .

Ive had my Ibiza for Five years and mainly used it as a cheap run about to save my Cupra R / Altea FR getting messed up.

Ive recently decided to freshen up the look with it starting to look a little aged.

Now with a new change in circumstances Im looking at changing it to a Two seater with a conversion in the rear section.. wait for it !! For a dog.

Going to have a custom made cage that fits in the rear which is in effect going to turn my 1.4 Ibiza into a car-derived van.

Since these photos Ive tinted the rear windows and Im looking at painting the Brake Calipers Red. (I'll upload some pics soon)

Im sure this project with divide opinion. Im open to all your comments

UPDATE,

Thanks to your feedback, now also looking at fitting some nice hids too and maybe losing the red rear lights for clear ones

Keep the suggestions coming

Looks nice and tidy,also good to see you have a SCN sticker on there

 

[Logan 5]

Ive had SCN stickers on my Seat's for the last Five years, it just never occurred to me to join up on here too.

Ive just tinted out the windows which meant I had to remove the SCN stickers but worry not I've ordered some new ones to replace them.

Ive just run out of idea's now. Going to paint the Brake Calipers Red when Halfords pull their fingers out and get some more paint in stock but other than that Ive nowt planned.

All idea's and suggestions welcome

 

[turbo009]

what about changing your wheels? and fit some hids if already don't have any that is

 

[Logan 5]

Mmm I've flirted with idea of changing the wheels. i know they are the old style Cupra ones but ive never seen them on an Ibiza (maybe for good reason) and they are immaculate with brand new tyres on all corners. What you suggesting? change to the new Cupra / FR style?

Im going to show my lack of knowledge here . . what are hids?

 

[turbo009]

hids are high intensity discharge xenon lights - can buy them from £40 upwards of bay

If your tyres are all decent then can't blame you for wanting to keep your wheels.

Some new fr style ones would look good

 

[Logan 5]

An upgrade on the lights would be awesome . . .

Just trying to get my pics uploaded directly onto the thread without using a link

 

[turbo009]

if you go for some hids the most popular ones are 6000k i have them on mine, and there pure white with a few tints of blue from a distance, they look awesome at night all lit up down some lanes.

 

[Logan 5]

How much did those cost?

Have you got a pic?

 

[turbo009]

think mine cost around £40 from diane shop from off ebay
I will see if i have a picture of mine

 

[turbo009]

not a brilliant picture but gives you some idea. Will have to get a night time picture sometime i keep meaning to do that

 

[turbo009]

just found a couple more quality not brill i know

 

[Logan 5]

Quality, will look better than my urine yellow ones i currently have

 

[turbo009]

some aero flat blade wipers would look good too

 

[Logan 5]

Cool, I'll look into those as well.

Havent been able to do the Brake Calipers yet as Halfords are always out of stock of the red paint.

 

[Ibiza Dan]

Try using hamerite smooth red (or whatever colour you want) to do the brakes.
Used to work for halfrauds many moons ago and there stuff is piss thin and you need atleast two coats for it to look good.
Hamerite is much better in my opinion.

Cheers thanks.

Ive also got a Red Altea FR. I wanted to paint those too but not sure about painting them Red as it will match the car. Thought about Black but then they wont stick out. Any ideas?
