Make sure your ibiza definately has the H4 headlights though, as some are H7, can be found out by checking if main beam uses a seperate bulb (this is H7) if same bulb operates dipped and high it is an H4!

Looks better. Your sidewall has a big slit in it. I'd get that checked out.

going to get a new set of tyres when i get my refurb done - recomendations for good all year tyres? got summer tyres at the moment and they are shocking in the wet! (obviously not built for a british summer)

also birthday present from my mum & step dad - i got a week to IBIZA ha ha

 

[Chris_a_73]

I have Yokohama Parada Spec 2's. Pretty good from my experience.

They are really good in the dry, okay in the wet (much better than budget tyres) and seem to last a while. I had a new set on when I got my cupra alloys and they're still going strong after 15-16 months and roughly 8k miles.

Price??

My FR's have Nankang's and are pretty bad, when pushing it but for normal driving are OK

 

[Chris_a_73]

I got my Yokohamas for £70 / corner. Definitely worth it

 

[marksy93]

so after a week of being on holiday in IBIZA came back to a lovely package from postman pat -

guess what's going to be this colour

need to paint my rear drums again so shall do them all at the same time, + needing to organize the refurb however still after a set of 4 new (or nearly new) tyres as my rear 2 are near the legal limit + the front 2 are crap in the wet + one has a slow puncture

 

[Chris_a_73]

Oo yay

Never got round to doing my drums... I prepped them for it but ran out of time and never bothered again.

Off to UWE in 3 days so the car will have to wait

 

[bunisjamin]

I painted mine black, looks alot better then orange. What are you going to paint green?

I painted mine black, looks alot better then orange. What are you going to paint green?

I would guess callipers?
And I'm sure I saw a picture of green bolts covers??

 

[marksy93]

so the update is -

painted the rear drums black & put another coat on last night as the 1st coat i did about a week ago was a bit thin and could still see some of the rusty/horrible drum underneath - however the 2nd coat has covered them really well

painted the front calipers bright green with 2 coats (one last night & one today) so just letting it dry now, the 1st coat covered really well however another coat was needed

next plans are - alloy refurb (black alloys) which shall set the calipers & drums off really well! also a new set of tyres & also starting work on the rear end, im just really struggling to find a cupra rear end , also needing a facelift or fabia rear wiper along with a new set of darker (sport) rear lights as my get really bad condensation and i feel the darker red ones look great!

also possibly getting vRS suspension that has been lowered either 35mm or 50mm (cant remember) when my mate gets his new coilover kit

pics shall be up once the wheels are back on

 

[bunisjamin]

I would recommend some people on ebay breaking ibiza, give them an email, the worst they can say is no. i would agree my rear lights, the facelift ones, do look a lot nicer then the pre facelift.

I don't know how the condensation would differ, I still get it every so often, try not to notice so it doesn't annoy me.
