Cupra/cupra R

[rcurnow]

Hi, i am about to buy what i thought was a cupra r, but thanks to these forums it has been spotted that they never made a 2000 x reg cupra r, so the car is just a cupra. What is the difference between the two apart from the power?

 

[rcurnow]

also do both cars carry the cupra r badges on the back?

 

[h17och]

red stitching on the steering wheel, gear lever gaiter and hand brake

seat sport seats (not got cupra writing all over)

red seat belts

'R' badges front and back, different wrinting on the back (the ibiza bit)

2 extra gauges

brembos

16" super T's with seat sport on

bilstein suspension

wider stance

they are also numbered

think thats about it

+Carbon Fibre Engine/Manifold Covers

+Osram Diadem Indicators

+Cool Blue (pure white) sidelights

there were very few cupras R in mk3... its quire rare and therefore very attractive car! h17och already listed you the differences.

plus the 180bhp vs 156
saw that he said apart from the power but for a sticky needs to be added
