View Full Version : My new mk2 beezer 2.0 16v Gti Cupra Sport
after wanting a mk3 beezer 20vT for ages and not finding the right one - i decided to go ahead and get a mk2 Cupra Sport and when i finally sell my bolf i can clear some of my debt and treat my new cupra to a few things.
So shes a 97 2.0 16v Gti Cupra Sport - i was a little confused as to the difference between the gti and cupra sport but after searching loads of threads on here i found out the cupra sport is the same but lighter - hence i have no sunroof, no air con and supposedly 30% lighter sound proofing. (i spent a whole afternoon at work last week finding that out)
hope you all like her - im really pleased with her anyways :D
apologies for the autotrader pics - as soon as i have cleaned her i wil post up some nice shots
she is unmolested at the mo ;) as soon as i sell my other car she will be treated to coilovers and some deep dishes and then go from there - dont want to do too much to her, just clean her up, remove the bump strips, colour code the sideskirts and front and rear diffusers etc - so she is clean and simple.
going to change the front mesh on the grill this week to black mesh as i think the silver looks slightly chavvy.

looks good
word of warning if you're thinking about taking the side bump/rub strips off.... don't !! I tried it on my 8v, and it peeled the laquer off in a couple of places :(
the doors come off ok, just double sided sticky tape, but it's the rear quarters that are a PITA, as they're stuck on with some type of 'resin' that's really hard, and chips off taking the laquer with it!!
very nice ... glad you got a decent beastie after all your searching :)

im going to do it - i will take it to the bodyshop to do it - dont mind what it costs - im female - if i decide im going to do something i will - regrdless of hassle - i will leave it till i get the diffusers sprayed so that its not an expensive job to do on top - cheers tho!

as soon as i get the new v5 through - then make a trip to the DVLA Local office in reading - then have to wait ages til the paperwork comes through!
effort!
but im happy just to have the car now! waited long enough!
Very nice :D
Regarding the name and the spec etc. it dosnt usually mean anything, its all about what mood pedro was in that day ;)

hey that does look good like the white wheels
the white wheels are what she came out of the factory with and they will be replaced by keskins as soon as the bolf is sold :p
Please put a slatted grille in it, the OE ones aren't much!
no i have black mesh kicking about at home stil havent got round to replacing it - you just wont notice it then - the silver looks horrible! i mentioned its the first thing im going to do
Yeah and I was disagreeing with your choice.
Saxo owners mesh their grilles...do you want people to mistake your car for one?
it needs dropping more than sasha cohen

Ooooh didn't see this thread.
Car's looking very nice. You should keep the white wheels tho as the Cupra Sport was kinda related to the Rallying side of SEAT.
No doubt you will go and moleste it anyhow :D
Look forward to seeing it in the flesh sometime.

i thought it originally came with black mesh?

i know! its the first thing im doing when i sell the bolf!
i thought it originally came with black mesh?
:no: just that most of them did in the late 90's by owners(myself included)looks naff now though imho,i often wondered if badgless polo ones would nearly fit.
now?i'd try and get some honeycombe placcy in there to bring it up to date.
lower centre piece off a cupra R would be more than enough, ;)

i will keep them for winter wheels but i think it will look sexy on keskins :D
a few of my mates have said they like the white wheels - they dont believe me when i say they are standard wheels.
they are nice but i have a plan and i know exactly what this car will look like when im done - nothing that cant be reversed easily either - i went a bit too OTT with the bolf but mk4 golfs are so common and i had to do something a bit mad - but i was young and naive and have learnt my lesson on overmodifying!
badgeless slatted grilles are available
i had an FK one a while back before i got the morrettes

i got black plastic honeycombe to go on it - thats what i call black mesh
The OE one is like mine, the GTI16v badge should be clipped in the right corner. See Czechboy's car, for example. I have an 8v badge on mine because thats all I could get my hands on.

why do you call it a bolf BTW?
why do you call it a bolf BTW?
Golf with a Bora front = Bolf
Bora with a Golf front = Gora
its a name that started on uk-mkivs.net - i just adopted the name when i did my conversion

thanks for that
no probs - better you use it than it sits in my room on display
Hey there, nice car! Looks like its in really good condition and its nice to see that the original wheel's haven't got too much scarring from brake dust, either.
I've managed to get myself a Cupra Sport also, though the colour is a bit larier!! I'll post up some pictures once i've collected in tomorrow.
Cheers and keep us updated when you start modding (no 'if' there - I know it'll happen..)
