if its a 05 - does it have the cupra r kit fitted from factory?

All pd150's do,its only the 110 & pd130 that are pre facelift

Edit i think its the 05 that has the cupra r kit,i know the FR+ does,most of the pd150 has cupra facelift bumpers

That's nice then.
They usually are advertised for a lot when low mileage.
Seems a decent price
 
05 is the fr tdi

Cupra bumpers
Silver wing mirrors
And the nicest 17's imo

Heres mine

The fr+ are 55 plates comes with cupra r bumpers and cupra r style 17's... Basically a phoney lcr as it was a run out model... Prefer the fr myself
 
My 04 plate has the full cupra r spec kit along with full leather and cruise control, the cupra tdi fetch decent money and the pd engines go on forever.
 
those fr+ tdi's are nice, im so tempted to get another one and spec it up despite what i said about petrols!
 
I am getting mine perfect

Not modding up for speed but just getting it so it handles nice and stops. Then i might go for a gtb turbo conversion

So far i have

Kw v1 coilovers with new mounts

On the way

Neuspeed 28mm rarb
Front dogbone with powerflex bushes (red rear)
Octavia vrs front arb with droplinks and superpro bushes

In the future
Fully polybushed wishbones
312mm and 256mm brake conversion

:)
 
/\ it must have been added by either yourself or a previous owner :)

The bumpers are all standard on the + spec and the cruise control also looks standard as there nothing obvious to say its been fitted after. Leather may have been fitted after but again looks like factory as everthing is electric.

You do not have the fr+ as you have an 04 plate

So your cupra r bumpers have been added by someone else

It went


Cupra tdi (pre 05 plate)
(05 plate) Fr tdi (gets different wheels + silver wing mirrors + fr badging)
(55plate on) Fr+ got cupra r bumpers and cupra r 17's

And i have just read another thread you posted in

You added the cupra r bumpers to your 04 plate! So stop talking complete drivel

The ONLY tdi to come with cupra r bumpers as standard is the fr+ which was available from 2005 on a 55 onwards

The older cupra and fr comes with cupra bumpers
 
Indeed it was fr+ on 55 plate as last of the line to shift stock and came with 17" versions of the cupra r wheels
 
The fr was only a one year model...

Generally on 05 plate as the picture above... There are some crossovers however (late registartions etc)

The fr+ came in on 55plate and 06

Still had silver wing mirrors but got

All red fr badges
Cupra r 17's
Cupra r front and rear bumpers
