From LC to LCR to K1

they have a maha RR

Well she's going in for her first MOT, booked in for 9am this morning.

Well she pased with flying colours, not even a mention on the LED sidelights although superior to OEM bulbs, can still fail an MOT because they don't emit a white light.
Any way finally got a chance to look underneath for the first time since I bought her, and yes she's only 3 years old, looks like new underneath. May well wax oil, before the winter grit is used.

I think it looks a lot less cluttered now!

Sorry mate, I'm in Leicesterhire. Should be a bodyshop / sign shop in your area who should be able to do it for you.

Looked to cluttered for me, and for those who are looking at the K1 badge, it may possible be how the SEAT dealer in Leicester located them. As I have seen two other K1's in Leicester with the badge in the same location.

i like it as it is tbh but everyone has differant taste so as long as you like it mate thats all that matters

To be honest mate, and touching wood (ahem). It actually seems cheaper, compared to both the LC and LCR.
I've got to get her booked in for the 20k service, but don't know whether to go to a main dealer (SEAT / Skoda / VW), or an independant as it's out of warranty any way.

I would definately recommend a K1, the normal Cupra is sooooo boring looking. (Que all the K1 haters). Anyway atleast the K1 stands out, and is pound for pound a lot cheaper to get BHP out of.


You could always go down the route of putting the Aero kit on, as there is no difference other than the kit between Cupra and K1.

Thanks,

Mark.

sounds good, looks like i better start saving i am hoping to have it in around 2yrs (sounds like ages but thats my aim)

Atleast you'll have time to plan the mods you'll want to do, and in that time the prices will only go down.
There's a meet in Derby Wednesday night, and there will be atleast 5 of us meeting in Loughborough including another K1, if your up for it mate.
