Tom's Red Ibiza 1.2

[TomArnold]

Here we go guys, had the car for a year and due to being an apprentice on poor money, not a lot has been done yet.

Bought the car when it was 4 years old and it had done just 20,000.

It's only a 1.2 but has served me well so far, I've clocked up 10 thousand miles, it has been the length of the country with no problems. (Touch wood)

Gave it a service myself as I didn't have full service history anyway.

As I have said it started bog standard and I have added a few bits, now I have had a pay rise, she will have a few more treats!!

Pics to follow...

do you know how i can sort this mate?

 

[rf860]

if you use photobucket or the like just make sure that the links for the images are copied properly and that the image code are before and after the url.

 

[TomArnold]

Okay, I'll try again. Do you know how I just put the photo's in without you having to click a link? Or is that how you do it?

I still can't do it, I did as you advised but to no use

Woohooo, got it working... above is how it started.

First thing would be some nice alloys

 

[TomArnold]

Here is how it stands at the minute...

Honeycomb upper grills, black number plate surround and colour coded wing mirrors (by my own fair hands).

Treated myself after a long awaited pay rise to a second hand Kenwood all in one jobby. Got it for a bargain of £195

And a little cosmetic mod for the interior, carbon fibre vinyl wrapped the gear gaitor surround. Cheap, quick, relatively easy and effective.

Soon I am thinking of spraying my mirrors gloss black and getting my door handles colour coded. Not sure on the mirrors, opinions would be appreciated.

Also, to add onto the last post, I have wrapped my front "s" although I am considering removing the wrap.

Do you think I should go for the number plate surround and front lower lip in gloss black and also spray the grills gloss black.

Yeah makes a huge difference to the car

 

[TomArnold]

Yeah cheers guys, I have been watching eBay for the right set to come up so I can refurb them myself and spray them Antracite. When they do pop up i'll be on them like a rash!!

The alloys I got cost me £80 in total got a refurb on my rr only took a week and also feels better when you can say I did that

 

[TomArnold]

Yeah I saw your RR, I want to do a similar thing to you...

 

[damon6uk]

Just keep a eye out some will pop up

 

[rf860]

[TomArnold]
