Nice. You'll obviously miss the power, but you must have your reasons. The boc looks sweet especially in that colour. What spec did you go for? Uprated brakes?

Hi Cupra yk1 superb choice matey, Did your dealer give you a delivery date? Mine due october allegedly:rolleyes:
 
was that from wills and ellis what deal did u get might have to have a look at your k1 if they get it in
 
i can't wait to get mine ordered, although i wasn't aware they could be ordered yet? i went to my dealer and they said they would let me know when i could come in...although maybe they're waiting until they actually get one. I'm wanting a candy white one too :D As above... what sort of deal did you manage to get on one?
 
ordered in candy white with bi-xenons Convenience Pack and bluetooth should be november for delivery. And yes wills and ellis.

I seen a video on youtube. It was a drag race between the new cupra and a mk2 leon fr. The cupra actually bet it. Its on one of the threads here....

I think I know which video you mean, I'm not sure that's an FR (although it has an FR front bumper, the back bumper certainly isn't) :shrug:

I think you'll miss the K1 in the long run, but I'm still to be convinced by the new Cupra/ Bocanegra though so I'm biased :lol:
 
Ah yeah but simple remap and you'll have 210bhp and a power to weight ratio of 177.72bhp.
The new Mk2 Leon Cupra is 237 and has a power to weight ratio of 169.82

Thats using a weight of 1172 for the Ibiza and 1418 for the Leon. These could be wrong, feel free to correct them and re work it.

So in theory with a remap it'll be a little faster (that is until you remap the Leon :D).

I know thats what i'll be doing, little stylish rocket.

I think they will be a real head turner in white!!

cupra YK1 you do realise that the black projects in the picture aren't actually what come on the car. They are the optional Xeons with daytime LED's. I've not actually seen what the standard ones look like as all the pre release ones have been a high specification. Have you seen any pics of the standard ones? Think i'm gonna go for the plunge and get the xeons.

Think the Leon Cupra weighs about 1375kg and most RR at around 260PS, using those figures it gets to 189hp/ton, but that's pretty optimistic
 
Well it will be ordered tomorrow and it will go on build week 41 so should be here around nov time :D Lovely spec you have ordered will be nice to see it in real life once its here :D
 
ibiza is a light little foofer. Just imagine how it would go if it had the 2.0litre k04 lump in it.
 
i cant wait i have enjoyed my K1 both with a remap and without but fancy a change now due to a change in my circumstances. think it will still be pretty nippy with a remap so i think in the long run i will be happy.
 
will keep me eye out for ya, have you seen the yellow on on the grass out front at wills and ellis wonder what model that is looks smart
 
I just ordered a Candy Bocanegra the other day and I have to say coming from an a3 3.2 manual I'm very excited for the change of driving experience (and economy) and I dare say the ibiza could even be a lot more fun to drive

Change is good!!
