[Riko]

Thanks mate. Yeah I don't usually like black wheels but think it looks quite mean on the cupras. The guy got them refurbed only 2 weeks ago so they're immaculate! So's the interior. Exterior only has a few scratches here and there but going to get them polished up.

Thank you. Not sure if he is...I'm pretty sure he isn't though because I haven't seen it on here.

 

[MrWill]

Right.......First mod of mine was de-badging, did it yesterday and here's some pics:

Before

After

Only thing is is that I noticed a blemish just a minute ago where the 'IBIZA' was and I don't kno how to sort it out Polish won't do anything its like it's affected the colour and not the actual metal. Its a oval about 3 inches wide and 1.5 inches high. Not noticeable in the pictures but it is in the flesh.

What can I do?

 

[Ibiza125]

The paint around it will have faded more than the paint underneath the badge

 

[MrWill]

yeah I know but its only on one side And its not the shape of the badge its a bit bigger and a circular shape. Is there anythin i can do to make it less notceable?

Asking the wrong guy sorry. Try putting a post in the detailling section

Nice car you got there mate, recoated standard wheels going really well against the silver there. Very tidy.

 

[MrWill]

Thanks spud

 

[tarzan]

and some lowering and it`s perfect

 

[MrWill]

Yeah the next thing I'll do will be lowering....thinking of shocks and springs cuz i dont think I need coilovers for it, a 30-40mm drop will be fine. Also want some spacers...where's the best place to get them?

 

[wilz]

Get some g3 and g10 on the paint and polish away not too heavy with the g3 though,

Then chose a wax / sealent of your choice.
Black wheels suit it well

 

[MrWill]

Next 'mod' was to get my vac lines done just in case, as well as it looking better

Took me ages to get the clips off Got there in the end and then was straight forward

 

[tarzan]

looks great mate but why didden`t you do the n249 bypass when you changed the vac lines?

 

[MrWill]

Um I know it sounds stupid but what is the N249 bypass? I'm new to all this stuff!!

Just looked at the search for the N249 bypass......I'm a bit confused :S Can anyone use my engine pic to point out what I gotta do?

 

[wilz]

Search n249 and n112 removal ion the mk3 section a load of guides.

 

[MrWill]

Well.....finally did the N249 bypass......here's the pics.......

Before:

After:

Hope I've done it right? Took me ages to get my head around it cuz some of the threads over-complicate the thing way too much......
