why does mine say GTI on seats then? (don't really care what it is, but just interested )

My old GTi 16v (as described in the log book) came with AC, SR and the 'Cupra' stitched tiger stripe seats, interior, etc! Quite a contrast to the Bengal Yellow paint work!

They obviously came out the factory in the most random combinations

Ive had 3 gti cupra sports now an all of them have had the half leather red n black tiger stripe interior an the carbon effect cupra gear knob but no sunroof or aircon (just how u like it)
But i do know there abit mix n match . Good old Seat aye

i was once told or i read that, the cupra sport is a cupra but with non of the luxuries (ie: air con / sunroof etc) and less sound deadening which makes it lighter and thus a 'sport'

No-one has a definite answer to that. If you have a search for the subject previously then all the cars are different. Some have bits and some dont.

Im sure the conclusion that someone said was that the car got whatever was sitting on the shelf when Pedro was putting it together.

I haven't read this because I know it's going to be the same old story so give me some lottery numbers because you will have a better chance of winning the lottery than actually knowing what model your GTi/GTi Cupra Sport/Cupra Sport Ibiza is!

i think a phone call to my local pedros dealership might shed light on the situation??

Depends how good your local dealership are. But tbh I doubt they will because there are loads of different combinations of each, like I said it was whatever was lying on the shelf the day pedro built your car.

so there's another waste of time & effort

does it really matter anyway when you've got it up for sale?

I'll ask my brother next time I speak to him. He bought his (now mine) new.

Pretty sure it ended up being a factory order, but that might just have been for the colour at that time.

I know he didn't want the glass roof or the aircon cos it had track use planned for a few years down the line, and he didn't see the point of shelling for glass only to rip it out and weld a plate in...

What I don't know without asking is if this influenced his choice of model or his attention to an options list.

Cloth seats with GTi stitching in mine, by the way...

I kinda agree with old'uns though. Unless you're trying to win a concours event, surely tidy and how you like it is more important than what it left the line with?

 

[gtikezz]

well ive decided mine is just a simple ibiza gti sunroof / aircon / ( not sure why it has both but hey i dont mind )

 

[Caffienated]

just as a random thought, mine says it's a Cupra Sport GTi on the boot lid and the v5... Although some unkind people say the boot badge looks like it came from halfords...

I always thought the 'plain' gti was the 1.8 dohc motor that put out a bit more than the AGG but not as much as the ABF... 130bhp maybe? Might be wrong.

So long as you like the car, you maintain it per the engine and running gear that's there and your insurance are happy it's covered, it's not really that big a deal what the exact model title was...
