Blanco92's Ibiza Mk4 1.2 - RIP.

[Blanco92]

Thanks Veyron. You won't regret doing the Cupra spoiler, from the side and even more in particular when you get further away you really can see the difference.

Anyway, FR grilles and fog lights time.

BEFORE

AFTER

Really happy with the difference, but onwards and upwards, bought new side mouldings from SEAT ready to paint. Will get the door handles done at the same time, but the alloys are going to have to wait a bit longer.

 

[Finan]

was that hard done putting the fogs in and wiring up?
looking good

 

[Blanco92]

Just putting them in was easy mate. I've not wired them up yet but will be doing in the near future. I've got a headlight switch with front fog function and all the bits to make a loom ready, just need to crack on with it!

 

[stezo2k]

I'm loving that cupra spoiler, looks fantastic mate really like it

foglights look great too, did they set you back much?

 

[Blanco92]

Thanks Stezo. The fog lights cost me £30 for the pair used. So no, didn't set me back too much really.

 

[Blanco92]

Wondering why I bothered fitting the FR grilles and fog lights, since I've fitted them I've been reversed into and had a firework thrown underneath my car (which then exploded)... people keep attacking my Ibiza!

 

[andy17]

Car is looking sweeeeet. Not to much damage caused i hope..

Whoever threw the firework at it needs one throwing at them...

Jesus mate, hope the cars ok

Don't worry though mate, i'm sure we've all had it. I've had a stone thrown at mine and a bottle, I had my say though bloody chavs. They're probably only jealous

Looking to get a new bumper mate? If not it may be worth getting the FR bottom grills like and painting the beams like Kidinspace, a lot cheaper than buying/painting a new bumper

^^ Does that ibiza have clear front indicator bulbs? They look mint!

 

[Chris_a_73]

Think it's just a deceptive photo mate.. If you wanted clear "indicator" bulbs then you'd surely need a new headlight? As it has a orange plastic cover, not bulb? I may be wrong though.

Doubt it mate but it does look good

 

[Veyron]

I think the front ones don't have an orange colour but the backs do? I'm sure someone put chrome ones in on here?

 

[Blanco92]

You can fit Silvertec chrome finished indicator bulbs on the front, the lenses are clear, it's only the bulb that is orange. I'll be getting a pair shortly as I've just taken delivery of a passenger headlamp (already got a driver's one) for my twin reflector headlight conversion. Also going to be fitting a HID kit to it.

The rear ones are tinted though, nowt to be done there.

Jesus mate, hope the cars ok

Definitely looks like we've all had it before, a bottle? I hope it wasn't some massive glass bottle.

I do actually have the bottom FR grilles fitted, it's a bit hard to see though in the photo. I've also painted those slat things behind the grille black... didn't want the car looking like it has some massive teeth or something!

If you know any 99p bumpers in the North West I'm interested, Stezo.

 

[Ic3man88]

i like new fr grilles and foglights so much, i buy same parts my own cordoba in this winter

Great looking car, some bigger rims and little bit lower

Thankfully not mate, was plastic. If it was glass I probably would of hit someone. Love my car too much

Ah sweet mate, I suppose being dark is hard to see matey, I do think getting the struts painted looks awesome though

Nah sadly not matey sorry, just got there at the right time I think keep your eyes out on ebay though, you never know

 

[Veyron]

I saw a facelift rear bumper £30 from wolverhampton, dan't got car at time though because it was uninsured and it had sold before i got chance Real;ly gutted, should've paid someone to drive me there

 

[knight]

Thanks for the comments guys.

The car's centre console is in bits now, have given the painter the centre console plastics and the side mouldings to paint today, will be giving him the door handles tomorrow.

At some point the wheels will be refurbed and painted in a darker colour, I won't be changing them though.
