Basically i bought an ibiza tdi 130, bought it totally boggo standard.
only had it 2 months or so, so far the cars had.....
Nice fresh sachs OE clutch and dual mass fly.
Evolution Chips Remap, Allard EGR blank, K&N panel Filter, Cupra front lower arm bushes, some nice solid ones, FK AK street coilies with shorter frop links, 6k HID's, some H&R hub adaptors 20mm all round, but thinking of 25's for the rear! and Some freshly furb'd BBS RC's, 7.5 inch wide fronts, 8.5 rears, runing 195/40/17's front and 205/40/17 rears.
Need to take the front helper springs out this week and drop the front more and wind the rear down too.
Loving it so far though!! Next up will be a nice big front mount and an exhaust. then after christmas some cupra R bumpers, seat sport skirts, paint and a re-trim with a nice double din headunit and some other nice touches.
Stanadard wheels back on for december though and wind the coilies up for some track time at oulton park
will be loads more pics as am going along, all comments are welcome cheers!
quick shitty quality blackberry today after getting it LOW!

Looks good, but if your doung it for the euro look your current bumpers look better as the facelift fr/cupra bumpers are quite aggresive looking for the euro look

i've got 195/40's front and 205/40's rear. whats your arch to floor gap antnee?
this is as physically low as possible at the minute, with smaller tyres on the front could posibly go about 10mm lower i think. but at the minute that bracket where the bumper bolts on is ruining the tyres!

Same happened on the corsa, ended up with a nice slice all around the tyre off a bolt in the arch.
What tyres you got for the track day mate?

mines 22.5 inches front and around the same on the rear.
7.5j front ET21 (by the time the adaptors on)
8.5j rearET21 by the time the adaptors on.
so tbh considering the offsets and width of the rims mine is on its still st lower than yours which makes the above statement a bit soft.
have wound the front up now to around 22.8 inch until i have a good nosey at how to get rid of that bracket this weekend.
going the seatcupra meet at wesome antnee??
Car is now de-catted the pikey way as it will be getting a nie pipewerx turbo back next year,
Cupra R rear bumper is purchased and i find out about a cupra R front on monday too, just some seat sport skirts to find now. then some paint after christmas.
jack av got some maxxis MAZ1's on my 16's al jsut use them for the time being if its damp over there i wont be going crazy as i dont wanna bin it all that much

Another Ibiza owner
Fr facelift bumper is the same as the Cupra one (although looks like youve sorted a rear bumper)
200bhp can be easily achieved, only the price of the clutch is stopping me getting more power as not really wanting to spend around £900 uprating the clutch and new flywheel at same time

Is your front poking with tyre stretching to just inside the arch? My 7.5J ET32 were nearly level with the arch and scrubbed like hell!
Nah not going to the SCN meet, I'm banned off there, so best not going to a meet where Zboyd is organising/going to.
Also there is no Cupra R The facelift FR, Sportrider and Cupra all shared same rear bumper, the Cupra has a different front to the facelifts though
