Hi All,
Thought I best start a 'Build/Upgrade' Thread now that I am beginning to 'play' with the old girl
In Summary
June 2008
Purchased a Magic Black 57 plate 2.0TSFI FR with the DSG.
Enjoyed every minute of it but after about 10 months and having seen the K1's on the Seat Website and wondering what the extra 40bhp on a Cupra might be like decided to look for one.
April 09
A road trip to EngageGear in Huddesfield mid April 09 saw me trade-in the FR and come away with an emocion red Cupra K1 on an 08 plate with the 18" black 'Orion' Alloys and bluetooth kit added at manufacture, about 9K miles on the clock.
Good Price and cheaper than the more desireable 'White' ones. Also a good time to buy given the K1 was coming to the end of it's production run and prices were beginning to increse in the second hand market. You could see as much a £2K difference for similar models!
I have to confess the white ones probably look better (when clean!) but to be honest wanted to be a little different hence the choice of red
First Picture(s) April 2009 after a clean
Some 'swirly' marks and holographics on the bonnet but I have 'cut' them back and removed since
