doubt it with the sh*t weather we're getting atm.
well saturday was pretty warm down here, apparently the hottest so far. will wait and see!!
I've had my air con on both yesterday and today, currently basking in sunshine and its 17oC in sunny NI lol
Yeh Saturday was nice, not actually very sunny here but stil warm. But lets be honest, we've barely had spring yet, nevermind summer!

Just bought these for £205 delivered! Also shampoo'd my carpets and seats, and also have a new set of rear light covers on the way for a paltry £12.50 posted.
Now on the lookout for Cupra Grilles and trying to decide what suspension to buy, I'm split between H&R Cups or some budget coilovers. Any Suggestionw would be great.

those alloys gonna fit? Unsure how theyll look on an ibiza tbh but well see.
Get coilovers, springs will just ruin the ride, and your shocks.
Get these!

Personally I think 15's are too small! Not sure about cupra grills cheaply or anything, but i stumbled across this the other day...

Where did you get your rear light covers from? Any pics? didn't know there was such a thing for our cars!
yeh I'm interested in knowing what these rear light covers are all about? Interesting choice in wheels... Theyre not really guna stand out, plus ur guna have big profile tyres!

yeah i think 15s are a tad too small! ive got 16s and i think they r a tad small. if i get a cupra il be takin off the 16s for a nice set of 17s.

The only pics i have are the one i took wen i bought it from the front and the pics of the damage i done hittin the lorry, i'll take some and post them up, when i work out how to post them!!
When I say rear light covers, I just mean the plastic bits and not the lens holders.
Yeah I'm sure the alloys will fit, the center bore is 57.0, stud pattern 4x100 and the offset is 45 but I'm putting 20mm spacers on too.
I got both of them off Ebay.
H&R Cup kits are a spring and shock kit, not just springs.
I reckon the 15's will be fine once it's lowered, and the tyres aren't that high profile, 175 65 iirc, which keeps the rolling radius about the same...

So you mean like a rear light mask? You got the link for that so could see what it looks like?
Also, H&R cup kits are usually quite expensive are they not? I'd go for a decent cheap set of coilovers.
I suppose 15s could look ok if you really lowered it, euro style! I prefer good old big fat alloys though, i have 17s on mine, really want 18s but i know that it's just not gonna happen!
Not a mask as such, just the coloured plastic that covers the bulbs. Ill take a picture when they arrive so you can all see what I mean.
I was figuring the Cup kit would give a better ride than coilovers due to the higher quality...don't really want a nasty ride!

Found the link, its the full set without the bulbs and holders.

Ah, so it's basically just the standard rear lights then! ha not what i think we all thought you were on about!
And yes a cup kit would give a better ride... but... i personally think it's only worth it if you're planning to keep the car for a long long long time! I've not personally done anything with my suspension yet, but am thinking of just better shocks and springs should be enough!
I had a toyota yaris (before i wrote it off
) and all i did with that was put lower springs on and the ride was great, infact it was better than my mates polo who put coilovers on his!!!
Don't know how long I will be keeping it for because i'm moving to Barbados in September and unsure whether to take it with me or buy a new car out there due to the much lower insurance....
Still, I'll probably buy it anyway, theres a guy in the classifieds section selling a Koni hsock and sprink kit for a cupra but dont know if this would fit mine?
