doubtful as you have to give your reg no to the insurance company and this will show up as a cupra r
lol, no mate you couldn't. It shows up as a Cupra-R on the registration document so when they ask you're reg they'll know it's an R

I dont think so as it would show the model on the Registration Document
Why would you do that? They need to know exactly what you drive to be able to legally cover you?

No they are different! I was going to buy a Cupra R just before i got my second Cupra and the Insurance would have been £300 more a year
When I insured my 'R' the difference between the quotes for both was sod all! Cheapest car to insure yet! lol..
The reg will flag up an R
Even if you could do this and you had an accident, it would null and void the insurance.......

In response to the one no im not stupid enough to do this but I was discussing this with a mate last night who reakoned you could because they look the same. But I pointed out the whole document thing to which he replied, "well a few lies oopps ive lost my documents can I have some more then reg it as a cupra." This is all on the basis of importing it to Guernsey.
Anyway this was all bought up, because there is a Cupra R for sale on autotrade and I was getting insurance quotes and they were fairly high.

Theres actualy 2 insurance groups between them, cupra is 15 and the R is 17. Just do it properly and dont run the risk of gettin arse raped if you crash.
Well your mates, silly, a eastcoast or westcoast saxo looks the same as a VTS! That wouldn't work!
The fact remains is that its an R and not just a Cupra......similar car but very different when it comes to insurance......not just the 180bhp and brembos, but the fact that its a rare car....
Take it Guernsey cars are still registered with DVLA????? Losing documents.......you can't just re register it as a cupra.....they don't just forget because the V5 paper has went a-stray
