Mods You’ve Done - Big or Small?

[Oldham SEAT & CUPRA]

We think the CUPRA x Forza car looks insane!

The rebellious spirit of CUPRA is making waves both virtually and on the streets.

But let’s bring it back to reality...

We know many of you don’t stop at the stock look. Have you modded your SEAT or CUPRA in real life? Whether it’s a small change or a full-blown transformation — we want to see it!

Drop your photos and share your upgrades below:

Spoilers? Wheels? Tint? Badges? Wraps?

Every mod counts — big or small. Photos = bonus points

Cool idea, I'm stock at the moment

 

[Seriously?]

What?
Not even a SEATCUPRA.NET sticker in the back window?

hah, well yes ok there is one of those, and interior felt lining, and SEATCUPRA.NET branded number plates...

1 x SCN sticker + 2 x SCN numberplates = extra 15bhp (minimum)

Indeed!

Haha, currently enjoying the Formentor stock but do have a list with future plans to change.

I’d love to upgrade the exhaust to aRemus exhaust for a little bit of sound, add Forge air intake + dump valve.

some sweet KW springs for the lowering as Formentor is tad bit too high! Adding H&R sway bar for enhanced driving experience!

once worn out, perhaps some EBC brake and pads. I did recently replace my stock tires to Pilot Sport 4 (which drives so much better already!)

maybe the (copper?) carbon mirror caps. For now with my next (which will be my first with the Formentor) maintenance I’m adding a Racingline bobine and NGK spark plugs.

Would have to create a build thread for all the changes I have made to my 280 but suffice to say it's modified

My fav is this along with Revo dogbone mount and Engine / gearbox mounts.

Audi aluminium front sub frame, baffled sump, super pro control arm sets the car up for the track

Best small mod was updating radio station logo to Cupra and page 2 was 280.

From Audi S Line alloys, Venom Hybrid Turbo to Jag XKR functional vents plus a looong list of more mods...My Ibiza Bocanegra is far from Stock, picked it up over 8 years ago with just a Big Brake Upgrade to it's name.....now a regular around the north west's circuit's

Fun fact... I took it to Seat Oldham (park rd) when I first got it for a software update & MOT

If it was 2017/2018 it was probably me who did it.

Just checked my invoice, done by Chris Jones in 2019

Big Chris, what a guy. Did you ever meet him? We basically did a job swap, he moved to Seat and I went to VW. Now it's gone full circle and Seat/Cupra has come to me

That's some build you've got, tuned by Rick at Unicorn too? I bet it goes like a skud missile. The Boccas were lairy in standard form

I didn't unfortunately, Just dropped off, picked up when ready.
Thanks, Yes it's a handful after Rick's put his magic to it.
Quick question....Are you able to update individual control units with a software update or will the complete set be updated?

Yes, on Seat you can update individual modules but the updates are heavily reliant on specific SVM codes.

Not sure what those are? My OBDEleven app always shows that there's a "latest software version" on all modules, Obviously I don't want to flash the ECM & TCM as their both tuned, Would flashing everything but those throw errors for compatibility between those 2 and the rest?

VWG allocates a number to each control module, they refer to them as "diagnostic addresses".

For example:

01 Engine Control Module
02 Gearbox Control Module
03 Brake Control Module

You get the picture.

On VW and Skoda cars, you can select each address by the number and update it.

On Seats and Audis you need an action or SVM (software version management) code to initiate the update.The codes are usually 4-12 digit, alphanumeric, they tend to be found in service bulletins and help with specific complaints.

You shouldn't have any issues running different software levels across modules.

Ahh, Get you, Might get it booked in with yourselves to have this done

 

[James_R]

Your best bet would be to compile a list of what you require and what software versions you currently have. I can check what updates are available then.

Sent you a pm with the details mate, Thanks
