[Adam R]

oh bugger yea forgot about that.... that sucks biggun

 

[V15NEV]

i know... hopefully they will do a good job - they are doin it for free so thats ok... just very annoying though... i'll put some pics of the damage up..

 

[V15NEV]

Ok so here are some pictures of the damage that occured when i took the ibiza for some new exhaust clips... Due to how low it was they scraped the bottom valance on the ramp... they are gonna fix it for free though which is ok...

Hence i have now raised the suspension a wee bit.

Nasty, at least they're fixing it for free.

But it should never have happened in the first place.

A lot of places seem to break stuff. I took mine to a garage to get a new aircon condensor fitted and they broke my foglight wire clips taking off the bumper.

 

[V15NEV]

They just dont care as much as we do...

 

[tarzan]

were you got the mirrores from???nice care

 

[V15NEV]

mirrors were from ebay - £25.00

Cheers

 

[Riko]

Yeah lookin shweet dude! Hopefully t-cut will help the colour match with the valance?

 

[V15NEV]

I've been meaning to ask you, on your sideskirts, you dont seem to have jacking point covers. I was looking at a set on ebay that didnt have jacking point covers, does this cause much trouble. And are they easy to fit?

I got a quote for genuine ones, and it wasnt actually too bad, £130 for the skirts but then it was £40 for the 4 jacking point covers which put it way out of my price range.

Hence why im thinking of going down the aftermarket route.

they have cut outs under the skirt which allow access to the jacking points... i've had no problems and recently i've had it up and down like a yo-yo...
