Diferences between a Tdi Cupra and a Tdi FR (both 150's)?!?

[andyj]

Hi guys,

Looks like I might be venturing into the world of the Leon soon Company car time !!

Now, I've seen several TDi's for sale recently, including Cupra's and FR's..... what's the differences between them !?? If any !!!

Cheers,
Andy

i'l probably get corrected on some of this but from what i can see, also looking for a cupra tdi, the fr series was the later spec models which had different wheels, bumpers (poss.) and mirrors, don;t think there was much else different. sure someone will be able to give you more info. though.

The only difference is cosmetic. Mechanicaly there the same. Leon fr looks better imo.

The only difference between the Cupra and FR is the wheels. The FR+ has the R bodykit but both the cupra and FR have the 03 kit.

I still get confused as to the diff and I have a TDi cupra.....

I prefer the FR wheels tho but I like having a cupra badge on the back too...

u lucky git andy! very very envious.

i thought the cupra comes with a cd changer but the FR doesnt?

Hmm, I've just taken this step - bought a Cupra TDI, as I thought the FR looked a bit too 'boy racer'. What 'the_prophet' says fits with what I saw (it was a late FR).

The Cupra has a CD changer, but doesn't (in my case) have a Cupra badge on the rear, just Leon TDI...

the fr has silver mirrors, a slighter lighter grey interior, single cd player instead of the 6 disc changer, different style wheel, wich i think doesnt look as good and fr on the wings

I think you mean the FR+ not the FR... The FR looks the same but with a different wheel style...

Very confusing TBH, seat change model names more frequently than any other brand I know...

Got a superb CUPRA original stick on badge for fifteen quid off ebay,and a black shark fin aerial which looks ace but receptions pretty poor.Eagerly awaiting arrival of a set of seat cupra printed number plates too. A good place to look for bits and pieces.

IIRC Cupra badges are only about £8 from the stealers. Might be worth buying a job lot and sticking them on flea-bay?

They don't even look good on BMW's; so if it looks pony and doesn't work, what's the point?

i have just bought a FR+ with the Cupra kit just looks like the cupra, i think it looks better than the normal FR!

you mean FR+?

the FR is just an my03 kit (like mine in my avatar but mines a petrol)

 

[paul26982]

i know m8, i picked the cupra over the fr

No you mean you picked the cupra over the FR+... The FR has the same kit as yours with different wheels

 

[paul26982]

know i picked the cupra over the fr, i dont like the fr wheels and mirrors, not the fr plus, but still dont like the fr plus tho

Christ!
