Lovely mate looks the bomb, i take it you had that bmw then?

 

[BrettBlade]

Love the car! How did you come across the OEM headlights? Also, what are those lights, where are they from and how much are they?! They're stunning!

 

[brwmogazos]

Excellent mate!

Did you see any difference with the lower OMP bar?

I was about to buy one, theyre very cheap anyways and i was told that due to our lower arm bridge being big by factory, the lower OMP bar will make no difference whatsoever.

So i would like to know from somebody whos already got one if it made any difference...

Thanks

Where I've gotten the OEM xenon headlight ? Is the original equipment from Seat.

You doesn't feel any diference with the lower OMP bar. Is just a reinforcement for the lower arms. If do you want a improvement, do you have to install a thicker stabilizer bar (Cupra sizes 20 milimeters Ø)

out of interest, what year was the biza cupra tdi engine out of?? Mines blown up and I need a new one, my car is a 2004 and Im told a 2006 engine wont fit

 

[BaezoN]

You probably have a BPX (engine code). And the restyling 2006 had the BUK. The engine is the same, but have a little changes for contamination.

 

[trillers]

Do you know if the BUK engine can easily be put in a BPX?? or would I need an ECU as well

 

[periko]

Que guapo jajajaja

The engine supports, turbo, etc... is all the same. But you will have to be careful with the eletronic. It will be better if do you mount ECU too. And check all the wiring and connectors.

Que guapo jajajaja

LOL no sabia que estabas tambien por aqui

 

[kaversion]

Sweet ride how did you manage to get your rear lights like that or are they new units?

[BaezoN]

Are the original black tail lights from SEAT SPORT.

Part numer for left hand drive (Spain) 6L0 052 250 N

Some pictures from yesterday, on a trackday.

I could not finish the trackday...

And now... starts the SWAP to 1.8 20VT 180 BBU !!!

 

[brwmogazos]

Well done buddy.

My drilled brembos started cracking too so to avoid ending up like yours i upgraded my brakes and got new discs lol...no more drilled for me...

It seems you run out of brake pads therefore cracked the discs?


In the pic above i really like you towing eye. That red thing you got coming out from the bumper.

Can you give me some info where you bought yours from?
Did you have to do any modding to the towing eye or the bumper to get it to fit?

Thanks

 

[BaezoN]

This tow hook, is the OEM tow hook from iBiza Cupra MK4. But painted in red.

You have a Cupra. You will found your OEM tow hook with the car tools in your car trunk.

Do you have to remove the small cover. And screw the tow hook turning left (reverse clock hands).

The hole on cover is hand made

pd. sorry for my english xD

 

[brwmogazos]

I see !

Thanks for the info buddy.


Yes in close up it looks the same.

From your pics it looks like an after market say OMP...


V nice...will look into it

No probs for your English. i am not English either

Finally the BBU engine was arrive. Needs some restoration because it comes from a crashed iBiza. Has less than 20K miles.

After the august holidays I will update with news about the swap
