the ibiza that got me hooked

Looking really good, much better than the odd wheel trims ha ha. I'd refurb them gun metal grey.

 

[Chris_a_73]

thinking black maybe with bright green front calipers and black drums on the rear..

That would be awesome!! I'll get a photoshop done tonight!

 

[ALEXZ360]

Love the pictures!! Would love to put the brakes jelly bean!! think you should try and do a picture with the black alloys, bright green brakes and rear black drums

 

[Chris_a_73]

Well basically done that, apart from the calipers are slightly darker green. Would be easy enough to do on MS paint or something. Ive got tonnes of revision for this week, already spent 2 hours on those pics so can't afford to waste more

 

[marksy93]

Get some revision done lad!!

 

[Chris_a_73]

Side to side pic, good improvement from standard

 

[marksy93]

Thinking of either bright green or bright orange Calipers - I'm liking the nut colour though might think about doing that

 

[rf860]

Orange i say with orange wheel bolt stud covers if you want to go down that route. Make sure the drums are matt black though..

 

[marksy93]

why matt black?? & im liking the bright green in the pictures done by chris - need to see the orange nuts - def need a refurb though, shall put close up pics when its not raining!

 

[Cupra_Dan_TDI]

after...

what bulbs/led's did you use, because ive got some led ones and they dont work on the reading lights !

 

[rf860]

matt black = not so noticable drums, meaning it looks more like a fast car as drums are associated with slow cars.

 

[Chris_a_73]

This was very quick, as I couldn't be done with doing a whole job again, it just gives a rough idea.

 

[marksy93]

prefer the green

& cant remember the bulbs i used, i know the centre one is a error free something or other

went in a skoda vRS with 179bhp tonight - bloody hell!! cant believe they put the PD130 engines in the bezzas - then again they are the same chassis etc

 

[Chris_a_73]

Im guessing fabia? Just a stage 1 remap? Was it fast?

 

[marksy93]

Yup, yup and bloody hell yup

Been quoted £260 for all wheels to be refurbed in black - Inc balancing after & taking the tires on and off etc

 

[Chris_a_73]

So you're looking at £65/corner. A bit pricey, but if it includes tyres on/off and balancing and fitting, that's okay.

I just checked my local refurbisher. It's £60 each for 17" standard alloys, 7 days time and dropped off. £70 each to be done within 3 days.

 

[Veyron]

It's £30 a wheel by me but that doesn't include a spray. I'd be tempted to try myself
