My new mk2 beezer 2.0 16v Gti Cupra Sport

[e5sta]

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
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!

Regarding the name and the spec etc. it dosnt usually mean anything, its all about what mood pedro was in that day

Very nice!! Love the colour!

Good choice with the Mk2 too!

 

[e5sta]

new pics of her clean!

 

[gazjones]

hey that does look good like the white wheels

 

[e5sta]

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

 

[Tom B]

Please put a slatted grille in it, the OE ones aren't much!

 

[e5sta]

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

 

[Tom B]

Yeah and I was disagreeing with your choice.

Saxo owners mesh their grilles...do you want people to mistake your car for one?
