Hey, i can get my hands on some cupra front seats, i am just wondering if ther are any better than the FR ones or the same just with cupra on them?
 
its just the seat covers that are different. the actual seats in the FR, cupra and sports are all the same.
 
Did they change the seats when they did the facelift models? My seats in my 56reg Cupra are soo... much more comfy and more bolstered than my 52reg TDI Sport.

as far as im aware all the seats facelift or prefacelift are the same just different covers. it could be wear which has caused the difference
 
ye i am pretty sure he has got the lot! you want me to contact him for you? wat you after!

The FR's are far better anyway! lol! although mine is pretty much a cupra now just without the heavy insurance premiums lol!
 
Black headlining and the A B C and all black plastic pillars basically and sun visors and grab handles, can't find them any where every time I find a 'cupra fr breaking' on ebay the seller is an idiot and says oh they are the same thing and when I ask what colour the headlining is they say cream!
 
na this bloke is tidy, he has got an 55 plate tdi cupra breaking! i am having the brakes of it! you want his number? can PM him! he is in Leeds i think!
 
Leeds hmm not exactly local I live in Sussex near Brighton,I am not driving there to get headlining and I doubt he will post why I was looking on ebay. If he could send it then yes. Is he not selling any bits on ebay then?
 
the car was on ebay, but i think the listing timed out on monday i think! i got his number if u want to phone him and see. up to you?

it is a bit of a drive but it depends how much you want them! i didn kno that the interior is different in the cupra's to the FR's, just thought it was the seats and steering wheel!

do the cupra's have a disc changer or the same head unit as the FR?
 
Dunno bout that there is a seat disc changer you can buy thou, yeh it is black basically not cream. Thanks but I don't think I will I have got to pay for coilovers and bushes to be fitted so can't afford to drive to Leeds and don't have time at the mo. Slightly different trim level on some models yeh and on the facelift FR there are more differences too.
 
thats fair enough! yeh coilies are well worth it, i find the handling of my car before uprating it was terrible, simple seat sport strut brace and coilies = like a different car! i am finding the back end light and sketchy at the moment too, may get some larger spacers and some anti roll bars!

Hybrid turbo first tho! - bring the the 21st of november!!!!

:) :) :)
 
i kno! think its hitting the 2.5K mark but my turbo is wrecked so time for an upgrade. i have got wider wheels (Audi TT) ones on at the mo, has made the stance wider.

ye going to purchase an ARB after x mas i think! treat myself to a diff at the same time - money permitting obviously! track days here we come!
 
rear ARB from whitline will help with that, spacers meh personally the car feels non different think people kid themselves when they think they help with handling!
You lucky boy bet that is gonna cost you before xmas!

see, I reckon the effect of the so-called RARB is way over-hyped whereas after fitting the rear spacers the car felt more planted in faster bends :shrug:
 
all mods are over hyped I think the rear ARB helped a fair bit but I am not going to say anything stronger than that. I think it depends of what other suspension mods you have with it, think people who do not have coilovers noticed it helped more for them. I put spacers on after the ARB and not got coilovers on quite yet.
