• Hey Guest👍👎 We're looking for reviews of your local CUPRA or SEAT Dealership - it's quick and easy to do: Leave a review now
Things are clear now (until somebody else posts lol), think i need to find a 150 i like, whether it be the tdi trim or FR trim.
 
i have a cupra , the only difference to the FR is different shape alloys (cupra aka mine has the starfish style, )

and the FR has silver mirrors , i personally like my cupra , as id rather the colour coded mirrors

both are exacty the same on the tin,
 
Oh and don't forget the main difference between them.....

Black ones are better! :whistle:

That right there is PERFECT ! Now i am entirely clear as to what im looking at when im looking at all these adverts. Many thanks dude, you have helped a noobie :p (i did look around the forum but there wasnt a post as bold as that stating the differences)
 
No worries mate. It's sometimes easier to explain things with pictures, especially since you are an ex-biker and new to 'the game'. I know if I was looking for two wheels, i'd be confused by anything less than visual aids. I see bikes I like but when I try to describe them to my biker friends, they have no idea what I am going on about.

You'll learn soon enough though. As you can see by everyones previous posts, this place is a wealth of knowledge and to be honest, 95% of what I know about my car has been thanks to this forum and it's members.
 
the pd 130 comes with standard bumpers same as the 1.4, 1.6 1.8 non turbo, etc, has a smaller turbo (KKK) than the 150 and has a small side mount intercooler, also comes with 16 inch wheels

the pd150 all come with same turbo. garrett (GT1749VB) and all have a FMIC as standard. The cupra tdi and fr tdi come with cupra bumpers, where as the fr+ tdi comes with cupra r bumpers and 17 inch cupra r alloys.

all three 150 models have different wheels, fr and + both have silver wingwirrors aswell

FR+ Does look the nicest !

Nothing a TDI with cupra r bumpers, and 17" cupra r alloys wouldnt sort tho ;) (oh and some silver mirrors). Pretty sure it would look just like an FR+ then ? (seeing as theres nothing diff under the bonet), im guessing the FR+ has a diff interior to the TDI and FR then ?
 
Woohoo, i knew it was a stupid question but i wouldnt of found out as easy without you guys (and your pictures). :)

Did i also read somewhere about the 150's having diff exhausts throughout the range (tdi, fr, fr+) ?

Figures of around 120bhp at the rear wheel, top speed 180 GPS speed 162 i think, not being big headed but would leave most cars on the road, thats due to the fact it weighs feck all and has a nice amount of power :)

interior is the same on the fr+ and fr as one of the links showed the same interior as my fr

exterior its just bumpers and alloys which alter, the exhaust is the same on all of them i think well twin pipe anyway
 
So i am right in thinking the bumper of the FR+ would fit straight onto the TDI&FR ? as with the wheels ?
