the ibiza that got me hooked

[mick-fr]

Haha, yeah rears are really easy. I took it all apart again to put the adjusters back in, then will be taking them out again soon. Fronts are more difficult due to the driveshafts, more so the drivers side! Drop links arent a worry, just take them off the old strut and re-attach to the new one.

just bought the centre grill (with chrome) so shall wait for that to turn up, need to get the wing sorted & the new bonnet painted & the new bumper painted when the bank balance allows!!

The list i have got is (please add anything you think i have forgotten) -

FR Bumper
Honeycomb Grills (Bottom, Top L&R, Foglight L&R)
Bonnet
Number Plate

Do i need screws etc or can i 'nick em' off the old one?

 

[Chris_a_73]

Make a thread on the Sere Motors section of the Dealers on SCN.

David is really really good and is able to supply cheap parts, and I am sure will be able to answer your questions.

Make sure you get the facelift honeycomb grilles

Could see about getting Dubmeister metal pressed plates?

 

[marksy93]

will do chris & arent metal pressed plates illegal??

 

[killieboy123]

will do chris & arent metal pressed plates illegal??

Not the ones from dubmeiter. They're fully reflective, right font and spacing etc. Think that's the only place that do legal ones.

 

[marksy93]

ah right ok thanks, did you fit your front bumper (fr) or did you get it fitted??

 

[bunisjamin]

Hi, read your RR, nice first car, its my first Seat, 2nd car tho.

i like the interior with the silver vents, i'm thinking of that more, also there is silver dial kits on ebay, thought i would mention that to you. easy search of flebay, " seat ibiza dials" obv make sure you get the right ones.

[Chris_a_73]

I reckon soon you'll be driving carefully

 

[marksy93]

I reckon soon you'll be driving carefully

aluminium dial surrounds

It was standard when I got it. Hoping to get the cupra one in the near future but well see.

 

[marksy93]

ah ok, well had a look today at the front bumper on mine (to see if i could take it off and look what damage has been done underneath) but then realised that i didnt have enough time

felt like a few clips behind the bumper nearest the wheels but wasnt sure as the good ol' Haynes manual didnt say anything about any clips

 

[Blanco92]

No clips mate, just screws.

There are some screws under the arches, near the top edge if that helps?

When I had the bumper off mine I found some mis-matching screws...

 

[marksy93]

how easy is it to change the standard 'knob' climate control to the LCD display climate control from an FR?

 

[mick-fr]

I'd imagine that would be pretty hard mate, two totally different setups.

 

[rf860]

how easy is it to change the standard 'knob' climate control to the LCD display climate control from an FR?

probably not worth it, there is too many sensors, motors etc you would need to install, it would cost half the value of your car ha ha

 

[marksy93]

thought so, wasnt expecting it to be easy...wish it was though sent the ol bezza off today for the wing to get fixed. Got a message from a user on here today saying he can get me a bonnet & sprayed the right colour for 100quid just looking out for an FR front bumper now
