Wel as some of you might know I had to break my last ibiza, But as they say good things comes out of bad
So I had some money saved up and sold pretty much all of my car in bits straight away
I was looking at a few ibiza but not many were what I wanted for the price I wanted to pay (which wasnt much) then I saw a onvi yellow one so of me and the missis went to birmingham
to look at this

Managed to get it for the bargain price of £1900 with plenty of MOT and tax and brand new tyres

Drove back and didnt miss a beat as were my missis a3's exhaust fell of along the motor way oops:whistle:
Any way got both cars home finally after being pulled by the traffic police as I was coming down the A38 (they thought I was some boy racer of to RTTS but I just wanted to get home)

The spec of car when I brought it was:
Stage 1 map (unknown who by)
Sebring cat back exhaust
Usaul bypasses done (but with engine light on)
KW coilovers
Air filter in wing
Porsce D90s with a little stretch on tyres
All arches have been rolled out and its been lowered loads with no scrubbing issues even 4 up
De-wipered rear window
Tinted rear side window
Bonnet Bra
Cupra R gauge holder with boost gauge(that isnt connected)
Probally more but cant think right now

The car is real clean other than a few things which need sorting which are:
Rear arches have little rust were arches have been rolled - now sorted
Roof, Tailgate and rear bumper are faded - now sorted
Traction control light is on due to needing a sensor
Engine light is on due to not having the bypasses done correctly
Drivers side interoir door handle is snapped - now sorted
Wheels needed the lip re-painting
Parcel shelf has got 6x9 holes cut into it - sorted new one

Im pretty much gonna go to work straight away on this car as I really feel that I have unfinished business with the ibiza cupra now
So mods I have done already are
Had the rear window proffesionly tinted
Got a new parcel shelf
Sorted the engine light now
Re-painted the lip on the D90s
Dice dust caps for my VW look
Painted calipers yellow
Undersealed all four arches
Gave the car a full valet and good waxing to

Mods iv got waiting to go on are
Forge T.I.P (red)
Hard intercooler pipes (ill be buying intercooler tonight along with all the silicone and clamps I need to re-route it)
Gonna buy new centre caps for wheels in a minute to
Iv got new interior handles to be fitted
Gonne get the roof and tail gate sprayed in couple weeks along with interior door trims and front and back bumpstrips

Plans for the near future
Change look of engine bay with all red pipes
Hybrid ko3 with all the trimmings
Shallow sumps (as mine catches on speed bumps)
Then who knows well enough reading heres a few pics
