Hi, this is my 2006 Seat Ibiza Cupra 20VT! Picked it up just over a week ago from Southampton.. My last car was also one of these but in Emocion red. Desperately wanted a black one though so i traded the other one in for this one which has 13,000 less miles on it and is in perfect condition!

The previous owner was very generous in leaving alot of nice kit behind in the car when he sold it, namely a set of JL VR650-CSi components in the front and a complete wiring kit for an amp, all stinger cabling so i was pretty pleased with that to say the least lol. Normally i would have been a bit suspect about the car having no front speaker sound when i got it but i intended to change the speakers to some of my own anyway and add an amp too so i wasnt bothered.. was just a bonus really as i now have a set to sell!

So far I've changed a few things... best one yet being the xenon headlights! They dont even come as an option on the Cupra but i picked up all the necessary kit including genuine Seat xenon headlamp clusters for a really good price! Had to take the bumper off to remove and refit the headlamp clusters but this is pretty simple, tho i did manage to lose a bolt for a night.. found it the following morning lol

I've also added a strut brace which was very simple and a boost gauge which wasnt! Involved skinning my knuckles but thats nothing new with an Ibiza, this being my third! Fitting the piping for this was very difficult. I used a bent coathanger to feed the pipe onto and then push thru a grommet in the firewall to get into the cabin. Once this was done i connected the electrics so that the gauge dimmed with my instrument dimmer.

For ICE, i've so far changed the headunit to an Alpine cda-9854r from my old car. I currently have 2 sets of rockford fosgate components to fit, 1 pair of T162S and 1 P162S. Will be removing the JL's and re-wiring the speakers to mount crossovers in the boot. Just need to get an amp and im good to go! Looking to get a Rockford T600-4 very soon ;)

Few more mods to come soon, 15mm spacers for the rear wheels, glove box light, euro style spanish plates, and VW Passat W8 interior light.. thats all for now, will be looking to increase performance next year!

Thanks for looking!
