bought my mk3 ibiza cupra

[rae1001]

hi, i thought i would just leave this thread on here for people to see
i travelled from aberdeen to dover on saturday to pick up my mk3 ibiza cupra which i found on ebay. i had never seen the car before but the description was so detailed and the guy was willing to give any information possible which i was asking for including pics etc
i got to dover and spoke to the guy and found out that all the work the car has had done was done by himself and that many parts were even built by himself
he told me the car is running around 300bhp with uprated internals and much more work done.
i dont know if anyone on here knows Alex Paton from dover? but i would like to give a shout to him for the work done to the car. he has done an amazing job, it is very very fast and all seems to be done to a great standard. i have come across a few small problems but nothing unexpected from an ibiza running that power

so basically, thank you alex for such a great car at such a good price!! you really have done a great job with it!!

ill get one or two up soon, tbh it doesnt look very exciting, the turbo is at the top instead of tucked in behind and i have an intercooler pipe in place of my windscreen washer bottle

 

[yellonvi-R]

Thats what we wanna see lol the turbo

 

[rae1001]

 

[yellonvi-R]
