Just bought these for £205 delivered! Also shampoo'd my carpets and seats, and also have a new set of rear light covers on the way for a paltry £12.50 posted.

Now on the lookout for Cupra Grilles and trying to decide what suspension to buy, I'm split between H&R Cups or some budget coilovers. Any Suggestionw would be great.

those alloys gonna fit? Unsure how theyll look on an ibiza tbh but well see.
Get coilovers, springs will just ruin the ride, and your shocks.

Get these!

Personally I think 15's are too small! Not sure about cupra grills cheaply or anything, but i stumbled across this the other day...

When I say rear light covers, I just mean the plastic bits and not the lens holders.
Yeah I'm sure the alloys will fit, the center bore is 57.0, stud pattern 4x100 and the offset is 45 but I'm putting 20mm spacers on too.
I got both of them off Ebay.
H&R Cup kits are a spring and shock kit, not just springs.
I reckon the 15's will be fine once it's lowered, and the tyres aren't that high profile, 175 65 iirc, which keeps the rolling radius about the same...

So you mean like a rear light mask? You got the link for that so could see what it looks like?
Also, H&R cup kits are usually quite expensive are they not? I'd go for a decent cheap set of coilovers.
I suppose 15s could look ok if you really lowered it, euro style! I prefer good old big fat alloys though, i have 17s on mine, really want 18s but i know that it's just not gonna happen! :cry:

Not a mask as such, just the coloured plastic that covers the bulbs. Ill take a picture when they arrive so you can all see what I mean.
I was figuring the Cup kit would give a better ride than coilovers due to the higher quality...don't really want a nasty ride!

Ah, so it's basically just the standard rear lights then! ha not what i think we all thought you were on about!

And yes a cup kit would give a better ride... but... i personally think it's only worth it if you're planning to keep the car for a long long long time! I've not personally done anything with my suspension yet, but am thinking of just better shocks and springs should be enough!

I had a toyota yaris (before i wrote it off :shrug: ) and all i did with that was put lower springs on and the ride was great, infact it was better than my mates polo who put coilovers on his!!!

Don't know how long I will be keeping it for because i'm moving to Barbados in September and unsure whether to take it with me or buy a new car out there due to the much lower insurance....
Still, I'll probably buy it anyway, theres a guy in the classifieds section selling a Koni hsock and sprink kit for a cupra but dont know if this would fit mine?
