  • Seat Ibiza 6K

    Hello guys,

    Let me first introduce myself. My name is Pascal and I'm from the Netherlands. I'm 20 years old and I'm still at college. When I had my driving license for three weeks, I decided to buy my first car. When I saw this one, I wanted it too much. The car was pretty cheap and in a good shape, so for me it was a begin of a fun project. The progress is not that fast, because I'm a poor student with not that much spare time
    This was the car when I bought it:


    Pretty boring, but a good start of something nice.
    I've installed the following things:
    - TA Technix Coilovers
    - 16 inch Borbet A Wheels with 195/40/16 Hankooks
    - Smoked rear lights
    - Yellow headlights with orange signal lights
    - Fog lights
    - 2x 10 inch magnat subwoofers
    - Excallibur amp

    When it was lowered:



    Not bad but,,, still a long long way to go

    Then I bought some cheap rims:
    Borbet type A
    16'' 7,5j ET35
    They looked really awfull when I bought them. The owner started the sand them, but needed money so he sold the rims. A nice opportunity for me to start a wheel project.
    This was the best looking of the 4:



    I couln't decide what color to make them, so I did some fotoshopping.


    I had in mind to polish the edges, but when i started sanding, it just was too much work. So I decided to paint them white. I think thats looks the best at green.



    Affortunately, at one night, a friend of mine couldn't watch out, and rammed my car. His car wasn't dammaged a bit, and my car was ravaged. After three months I got a little bit money, just enough to got it repainted and then....
    We had a fire at home... Our Carport burnt down, with my car in it.
    I was there just in time, to safe my car from totally burning down.
    This is the result:



    2 days after that, I found a door at a scrapyard that almost had the right color


    I decided to not put the wheels under untill it was repainted. The wheels were just lying in at home, waiting to get under the car. I just could'nt wait. Here a pic of a little stretch:


    In the meanwhile I thought I should make my fog lights yellow:


    And finally,,, it got back from the painter!


    I was home for half an hour, and the wheels were put under ready to shineee!!





    Things I want to do:
    - Lower the car more
    - Window tinting
    - side skirts
    - Other exhaust
    - Racing seats
    - US Lights
    - Seat Logos painted white


    This is it for now. I'm getting on to the lowering next week I hope.
    If you've got some tips or ideas, bring it on!

        It looks nice and clean so far. At first I didn't like the Borbet but now that they're white I dig them. Keep it on! Subbed.

          We've been working on the Ibiza the weekend. I've been working on the starting rust on the left rear fender and painting it.


          Yesterday I've been working on the coilovers with a friend of mine.
          Me removing the coilovers:




          We removed the small springs to get lowered bit. The front came down about 4cm and the rear about 6. Pretty nice job and a good result I think.

            I like it! Finally a Dutchman that puts orange indicators on his car instead of white ones.

                    I've recently got a leak in my braking system. The results; my wheel on the right front is ruined by the braking fluid... Now I decided to use plastidip on the rims. Because the plastidip white is matt, I want to use one of the effects. Should I go for Glossifier or Pearlizer? I think the pearlizer would be cool, because you dont see it that often. Let me know your thoughts!
