After Dailying the ibiza for a while , I decided I wanted to be driving something I could take to shows so I got his, so far I have replaced the wings, the bonnet (which has worse paint than the original but no rust), both drivers side doors, put in black leather interior, clear indicators, lowered and put the wheels on with adaptors and a few other things, a lot more to come though, I also replaced the back box with pipe but will most likely be revisiting the exhaust as a whole because I ripped it off the hangars going into kfc today. This was what it looked like when I got it This is it now

Yeah they do But I had these wheels on my ibiza so I just bought adaptors instead of changing wheels Theres a small rip on the drivers seat, and I'm gonna buy a daft steering wheel because this one is knackered, Still waiting for someone to buy the ibiza at the minute though.

went up to 17's because I prefer how they look in diameter, I wish the backs were wider so I might get spacers, I will probably paint the mirrors in the same colour as we painted the wheels because we mixed a fair bit of paint. I will most likely change the tyres when Ive got money. The wheels are 17 x 8 1/2 fomb's

My Ibiza should finally be selling on Saturday so Ill be putting the money from that into making this less curse word, I'm gonna go down tyre sizes because I really hate how giant they are at the minute, I will be getting spacers, probably 20 at the back 15 at the front depending on the tyres being narrow enough, and I will most likely be going lower because it still looks a bit boring in my opinion now its on bigger wheels

That looks awesome, I'm particularly jealous of that black leather interior How did you lower it out of interest? I've got a 520i Touring as well and need to lose some arch gap lol

I've got a 520i Touring as well and need to lose some arch gap lol Just cut springs, Its working fine for me so far the suspension still has travel in it at the moment and it handles fine, its 3 out the front and 2 out the back but I might take another half a coil or maybe one more out all around. It might be 2 and a half out the back I cant remember for sure

Well the guy didnt turn up for the ibiza so I cant afford to make the 17's fit how I want or get them balanced so I put the Klutches back on and I do prefer It on these to be honest, although I wish the front was closer to the wheel, anyway it drives good again now and it doesnt feel high anymore, still gotta wait for the ibiza to sell on its normal wheels now so I can do more progress on this, the next thing I have to buy is a sub because there is no bass at all, but after that more cosmetics will come, I really want to do a steering wheel and tints next.
