Shep's MK3 Ibiza Cupra

I thought i would get involved a little....sooo heres my daily drive!





Its had a few bits n pieces done to her such as.....
Jamex coilovers (got a feeling they arent the best!?)
Remapped
Front mount
Decat and straight through zorst system
Forge Split-R dump valve
Horrible wheels (i cant stand them!!)
HIDs 8000k





It isnt perfect, the LCR splitter has seen better days, needs changing or ditching completely!
The front bumper needs attetion due the chap before me made a right hack job of the FMIC!
Plus to add insult to the front bumper, the poor ol tow eye cover is little bit poop!



Dont get me started on the wheels, utter hate for these things!! And whoever thought the CUPRA sticker was cool, needs a slap!!



Same story on all MK3 Ibizas here, the door handles are dump, the paint always scratches off....sooo the previous owner painted them black and i think hes actually made it worse!!
I order to make these look any better i think carbon wrapping is in order!



Now i know what your think about this....WHAT THE HELL IS THAT!!! Its some horrible security device the last owner fitted, i need to take the time to whip this out! Looks abit of a mission to be fair!!



Also need rid of this most annoying airbag light, popped up after i whipped out the passenger seat!
Drives me insane!!



Well thats my little daily drive, i do love it, puts a huge smile on face at times!
I do have plans in the pipeline for it but im afraid this years holiday takes priority first, new wheels, FMIC and other bits n bobs will come shortly afterwards!!

The wheels aren't that bad mate could do with being better fitment prahaps, as they seem to hide in the arches a long way on the rear especially. And i did wonder what that thing was for near the gear stick when i had it at mine

To me, the wheels scream corsa, saxo, punto lol, need something a little more euro style i think! Thing is with that gearstick doflap, it doesnt allow the centre console trim to fit properly!

I can get rid of your airbag light if you wish fella. Be a case of plugging it in for you.

Or you can just pop round mine and i'll do it for free.
I live in Adelaide Close, near Olympic Tyres. Gimme a shout and pop round one afternoon.

Nice looking Cupra too.
I do like this shape of Ibiza. Probably my favourite Seat shape.
Get those handles wrapped!

Yeah, I live pretty much next to them (other side of the long driveway next to their house).
My old man's got a TVR too so knows their Dad quite well.
One of their mates had a black Lupo GTI?

It was a B5.5 TDI Passat (as big as the Hindenburg) but now have an E36 328 Coupe.
Hopefully I'll have this longer than my other cars..

Give me a shout when you want that airbag light reset mate.
I'll also check it for any other fault codes.
Shouldn't take more than 15mins!

Not really much progress lately. Got the LCR splitter off tonight, due to the sorry state it was in!
Whilst chopping the splitter off, i had a proper look at the intercooler pipe work....OH MY SH*T job going on there, needs reworking soon i think.

Got to grab some vacuum piping this weekend for the N249 valve bypass and thanks to Enivirophone and Ebay sales i can order a WOT box too

Currently prepping my spare inlet manifold for some paint, im after that matt wrinkle stuff if anyone knows where i can get it from in a rattle can??
Looking forward to some things to do on the car
