them sideskirts ain't that expensive, they bloody cost £72+VAT from stealers (thats per side, he said "so thats like £100+ with clips/jacking point covers" i nearly swore and threw something at him lol), but i got both+clips/jacking point covers for £25 :D and £5 delivery from newcastle (where my mates mom has a courier service :D), but rowley auto's is just by the Ricoh Arena in Coventry if anyones interested (good little VAG spares place)

you did a good job crezz on the front splitter, but i like the contrast the black has on these ibiza's, i've kept mine black all around (copper ibiza), when it's all the same colour i personally think it just looks bland! everyone to their own!
lovely scenery as well ;)

got spacers but need them to be machined a little..if i were to keep it on there id go for the all out job and smooth the pimples off then spray up and will look better as it will lose the funny texture....could get it looking good but was done in a couple of hours! haha

Just out of interested how did you go about the spray. I have faded black skirts/splitter and wanted to spray um black but think it might look wierd with a shine. i take it you didnt use primer or rub down, looks really good qaulity. thinking of doing everything on the car one weekend. The topaz just a manufacturers colour match spray tin

yeah gotta use primer and needs to be for plastics..unless you just want it like back to black, if so just buy bumper spray as it works well...yeah just went halfords and got a rattle can as before it was an awesome match but not so good this time.
