Who owns this one then...

[roderrs]

i seen this in plymouth a few months back never seen it around before. the body kit does make it look awful but i liked the look of the front mount didnt realise it had such an impressive spec.

 

[gavthelad]

i think the body kit would be the last of my worries really, thats easily changed back to standard........knock him down on price, buy it, get in, warm it up and stick your toe down.....not much will keep up with one.

 

[davecash]

I'd rather have the satisfaction of building a near standard car up to my own spec rather than 'fixing' someone's bodge job on the bodywork though. It's like an abused child, it'll never be the same again.

lol

so spending £200 on a standard second hand body kit in the same colour wouldnt tempt you? Its hardly stressful as its only bolt on stuff, its not like the whole cars been smoothed into itself.....

 

[AdamHarling]

yea.. but you gotta get all the stuff thats on there off first (arches etc).. which will leave marks...

Like davecash said.. never gunna be perfect again.

It's not actually that trick, it's lacking quite a few bits when you start digging deeper. As for Golf+ I'm surprised they haven't featured an Ibiza with interior modifications yet, or are there not that many done? Might have to fire a few e-mails out once mines done if their featuring car's like the above!!

One nice thing is the intercooler pipeworking, really need to find a mandrel bending company!!

 

[mattbolt]

the guy is called Andy and lives in plymouth. I turned up to a rr day a while back and his was on after mine

Made mine look like fast and as powerfull as a bloody 1.2 corsa. Bit embarrisin in front of all my m8s. lol

The guy who owned the garage didn't want to put it on the rollers as he knew already how powerful it was.

Shame its all just on the front wheels.

(Car says IHI on the back)

true this is andys car running a jabba ihi turbo @around 340-360 brake ive rode in this car and i can tell you ive never been in any thing so quick its blisteringly fast and well worth the money he`s asking its even had a new clutch pedal cos i fitted it

 

[gavthelad]

i think if you knocked him down on price a few hundred quid its a good buy considering what it costs to get ihi.

 

[acidstrato]

i bet you could find someone with a cupra that would want that body kit anyway, straight swap, car looks great as a sleeper again

if not, you could sell it and i reckon you could prob sell it for more than a simple cupra kit would cost

Cracker... apart from the bumper....

Why's the pice dropped from £11k in a matter of weeks - are you on commission wazo...??

na mate i think that was an over optimistic price thinking 5-6k for the car then 5k for the work done i dont think you wil get it for much less than he is asking now tho admitidly i dont like the back bumper either but as for the rest of the so called kit its nice

 

[carlisle pete]

i can tell you my cupra owes me nearly 13k!!! including buyin it ofcourse!! running same stage 3 IHI. seems like a cheap car to me! bumpers and wheels r easily changed!

your car might owe you 13k but youd be lucky to get that for it 10k max if your really lucky

 

[carlisle pete]

i no dude i dont expect to get my money back i done it because i wanted stage 3 IHI cupra!!! i just thought it looks like a cheap car for the power of it etc. mine only runnin 323bhp and 328lb/ft at the minute due to fmic problems etc! but still IHI's r awesome!

 

[wazo]

no worries mate and yes they are awsome for any one who has never been in or had one i think the guy needs the money to start a business so thats why he needs to sell but like i said i dont think he will budge too far on the price hes asking now it is well worth the money he is asking and at that price i dont think it will be available for too long

 

[jj10]

Oh.... Id've had a closer look at THAT price... but i've got a few things in the pipeline now....

 

[gavthelad]

i still think its a reasonable price to ask for........if it was your own car and you had spent 11-13k on it, im sure you'd want to sell it for as much as you could get for it.

Its bound to sell and like acid said, the existing body kit will be wanted by someone certainly......and in all fairness, although im not particularly keen on aftermarket bodykits, its not the worst one ive seen.

 

[carlisle pete]

il back that one up gav! good car good money.. as i said befor kits and wheels can easily be changed
