Krash's 1.4 Sportrider

[Krash]

not much of a story so far but here goes
pics from the dealer

then fitted a set of prism led sidelights

tempted to change them to amber ones to look like us-spec marker lights ?

other plans are
take the stealer/sportrider stickers off
plans are led interior/boot and plate lights
night breakers up front
subtle lows so wheels sit in the arch's rather then under them
then we'll see where it goes from there

 

[Krash]

tinted my fogs for free =]

 

[Krash]

replaced some more bulbs to leds

Interior

Boot (excuse the work shoes and grass)

Plate lights

 

[Krash]

So got pulled by the plod this morning, to tell me my plate lights were out, so waited for daylight and had a look

Connectors are made from monkey metal and been crushed by the holder so buy cheap buy twice and all that
So after a quick trip to halfords decided on these after being impressed with how my sidelights were holding up

Looks nice matey, I'll keep my eye out for you.
When are you thinking of applying these subtle lows?

Not sure at the moment just bought a new dslr so i'l have to wait for the funds to settle again but hopefully shouldn't be too long.

Thanks alot.

gorgeous colour for the ibiza.

and i don't usually like yellow fogs but they really suit it.

thats coming along very nicely, how about Cupra splitter ?, i'm jealous you have the rear bumper I want !. Cannot find it anywhere, believe its the cupra model and fr 2007 + models that do them, may be wrong though

its on the list as it looks bare without one
the bumpers are the main reason i got it but i still want an aero one on the front like yours

should have some heko wind deflectors soon then its off to have the exhaust done with something to better fill the bumper gap, also noticed the laminx'd fogs have started pealing so going take the film off then have them painted with stained glass paint

Nice and yeh wind deflectors make a bid difference IMO, ah so stained glass paint will do the trick ? Where can I get it mate ? . And id go with the oval tip exhaust but thats just me lol, also how you finding the 1.4 performance wise ?

any craft shop should sell it or just search on ebay, yeah itle have an oval tip like a cupra, performance wise its ok i came from a 55bhp polo so its a heap loads quicker then that with slightly better mpg so win win although already wanting more power and wish id got a tdi

Ah thanks and true, I wanted the 1.8t but insurance
Would of cost two arms and two legs, just wait till
I'm 21 I suppose, also are yOu interested in lowering springs mate ?

 

[Krash]

yh insurance was my concern nearly doubled when i changed it to this but now i have 1yncb its more then halved going from £204 pm to £93
lows are also in the works but next few months are heavy on the pay packet so only little mods till there out the way, dont want to be too low unless its bagged, though as had the polo on coilies and went through 3 subframes in a year

 

[Krash]

treated myself to a set (h7/h3) of Ultra 5000k bulbs

[Krash]

very impressed lots of usable light and give off a pretty much perfect white

 

[Krash]

looked into a bolt on tip for the exhaust, just over £35, then rang ppt exhausts in louth, will make me a custom ss oval tip for £45-£50, so its booked in on 28th

super easy job just pries the plastic cover off and swap the bulbs
i got mine from ebay for a few quid for 2, recommend can-bus ones tho as these never completely go out just dim when the doors are shut, just search 42mm festoon led
