Cordoba Cupra - The Netherlands - RubenD

[RubenD]

During the last year I have also bought a Coilover kit from AP (actually DTS, but that just is a rebranded AP kit with a discount ):

I know, the wheels still need a repaint!

An no: I wont lower it any further than this


Also installed 20mm spacers add the back:

A black stubby:

Deleted the secondairy air motor:

I also had to replace the backbox, it was rotten, so I bought a stainless steel backbox, grinded the **** out of that and welded it back together so it would work with my car:

That looks so good <3 I have drooled mk3 cupras/coupes sinse i got my four door cordoba and i have to say that this is best looking I've seen.

 

[RubenD]

Hi all!

Thanks a lot for the kind words.

 

[Juhuts]

Any new pics of this beauty? ;p Had condsideret 17" rims too, and when i got a look again this im sure that ill have to get too 17" rims

 

[RubenD]

As the matter of fact: I do!

A month and a halve ago the backbox was redone. It is now fully welded with stainless steel (TIG).
I also decided to go for the Mk4 Golf V6 twin tips. I really like to look of them!

I decided to give the car a good cleaning two weeks ago, when I was finished I snapped some photo's:

If you would like to see more photo's look here: http://www.volksforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=58659 (it's in Dutch)

And 17" only looks good when your running or Coils or Air:

Woohoo! a vario lol

 

[RubenD]

Yes, on 17" Porsche Carrera 2 rims!

 

[Juhuts]

Damn that looks clean Those new muffler tips look very good! Those made the rear look very clean now. Wishing still that my cordy was cupra
That vario looks good too Yeas. That is true, but luckily i´ve driven about a year now with coilovers so i got that covered

 

[Seatmann]

Yes, on 17" Porsche Carrera 2 rims!

Yeh but I've got 15inch rims and they aint off no porsche lol

He looks like he's got side skirts, do you think he made them up or bought them?

 

[CupraElliott]

Looks so cool, it's an Ibiza but with a boot! Wish we had them here.

 

[Seatmann]

Surely you could get an ibiza cupra and just swap some of the bits accross and modify the rest.

 

[RubenD]

The skirts are original Seat Ibiza/Cordoba/Vario Items.

The Cupra version is color coded, as you can see on my car. Other cars usually have the textured version. Other then the color coding they are the exact same items. Since the wheelbase of the Ibiza, Cordoba and the Vario are the same (95% sure 'bout that) the are ease to bolt on!

My brother has a Cordoba Sport 1.6 16V and he has them as well:

He even has the sportseats (which are actually Mk3 Golf VR6/GTI sport seats with added side airbags), his are fabric. Mine are halve Leather...

 

[Seatmann]

Ah I just assumed the vario had a longer wheel base, I might have to look into them, I'll put them on my never ending list lol

Those skirts are bit expensive :/ From local Volkswagen dealer wich i asked about them was the answer: 160€ each side. They look good but still bit expensive That´s wht i´ve looked them from junkyards & sparepart cars etc

I still hate my self when i sleeped over a deal with one cupra interior 200€ was price for those cupras half leather seats (front & rear) :/

 

[Seatmann]

Bummer, I just got some seats from a crappy polo for now, the originals have seen better days so I had to do something, I'm spending to much on mechanicals and not really getting the body sorted but hopefully I will soon. Need a couple of front wings and some bits and pieces.

 

[ndbrgr]

Very nice. I noticed on your other forum you mentioned wanting to turn the aerial matte instead of glossy. The Citroen aerials fit perfect and look oem as they are rubber.

 

[RubenD]

Ok, good to know that, what is the length of the Citroen item? And could you show me a picture of it?
