[sjordanGTI]

Hi guys,

I'm just putting together a list of parts I should put to my GTi, I want to get the most out of this brilliant car.

I am still on my Probationary Licence, so engine modifications are not an option at this point in time.

Here is what I have on my list so far:

Brembo Brakes - $1200
Brembo SEAT | Euro Car Parts UK

Lightweight Flywheel -

Headlights Angel Eyes - ?
Anyone know of any decent headlights? I can't seem to find any!

Projector Fog Lights - $49
Auto Platonium :: Lighting :: Projector Fog/Driving Lights

Rims

Springs - $75
Seat Buy suspension from Eibach including adjustable suspension and automotive coil springs.

GTI Badge - $15

What do you guys think? Is there anything else I should look into or change?

Nice list...

Hi highly recommend the springs for sure. I just got these fitted to my Ibiza... you cant go wrong at that price.

Rims... See if you can contact Lewis (Username LWR) on this site if you are interested in some Euro style wheels. I got my Remotecs from him. Brilliant.

You might want to confirm the AUD$ amounts of the brakes and the badge those site are listing the price in GBP (Pounds). You will ned to multiply those amounts by roughly 1.6 and add shipping.

yeh, those brakes are gonna set you back $2000 + shipping, so you will be looking at approx $2500.

Why not just upgrade to a set of drilled/slotted rotors, paint up your callipers and put some decent pads in (Hawks, EBC, etc). This option will cost a fraction of the Brembo setup but will still look pretty sweet and stop better than the standard setup. You can then use the savings to fund the other options on your list.

Also the exhaust is in GBP, so this will be $610 + shipping.

The springs are out of stock! Not really surprised at that price!

Rims... See if you can contact Lewis (Username LWR) on this site if you are interested in some Euro style wheels. I got my Remotecs from him. Brilliant.

Not by any chance you can post a picture of those rims on your ibiza assuming you drive one?

I did find I nice set of headlights, I jumped on photoshop and played about. This is what I came up with.



I agree with the brakes.

Inovit Rapid Black Red Alloy Wheels - $1,584.97 inc. Delivery

I assume that price is over $1000 before the delivery charge, therefore you may get stung for Import Duty (5%) and GST (%10). This would mean extra $225 would be payable at Customs. I would try and keep the total price before delivery to less than a grand.

Good looking wheel though, and would suit the Ibiza. Personally, I'm not a fan of the red stripe around the edge.

Just use early Vr6 calipers and Cupra disks and bolt on 280 mm brakes easy as.

Not by any chance you have disk and vr6 calipers in stock?

Just an update, I picked up a high flow exhaust kit, $400 fitted!

Welcome mate. Good to see you are keen to mod your Ibiza.

- Id suggest doing the basic first: good service, polish wax, vaccum and a stereo.

Then save your $$$ for some coilovers, having coilovers means you can adjust the height very easily and they are good for improved handling.

Wheels id suggest noting going any bigger than 17" as it will dramitically change the way the cars handles. 15" or 16" wheels are the best IMO for the Ibiza/Mk3 platform. Then dont forget to spend some $$$$ on a good set of tyres. Remember to also get a wheel allingment at the same time.
