how the new cupra should look

[Chris mk2]

bigger alloys
lower
Bocanegra style front

 

[chris285]

agreed, hence when i order mine i will ask if they can do the black front end for me

 

[Nath.]

Nice pic but at the end of the day it's just a pic and would not be drivable as it's more like a cartoon being that low

Dont see why the front end wont be doable when it arrives

Think I'd get the front end done in a matt sort of vinyl, protect the paint etc

Vinyl would be better as it can be removed come resale if the new buyer so wishes.

That does look meaner!

I wonder if the MK5 wheels will be compatible with a MK4?

yes they are, same fitment.

 

[G!zmond0]

Actually it's not that different.Just bigger rims and probably brakes.
Just a powerful tdi and I AM IN

is it me, or the first thing I thought of (as much as I hate to say it) is VXR ish......

Thats the spirit, so we can expect to see an M1 Autos special front end????

 

[chris285]

there's always one

i will admit the car has similarities but its not like the vxr

thats the first thing i thought looks like the vxr

 

[jamiebennett81]

thats the first thing i thought looks like the vxr

it's the side profile and the way the lines flow along the car that made me think of it

I like it! But its still a 1.4 at the end of the day

They should do a special edition 2.0t

whats the need for it to be a 2.0 though? IMO a smaller supercharged engine is definatley the way to go with mini hot hatches. no need to have so much displacement just a small but highpowered fast revving fun engine is perfectly suited.

That was the big problem with the 2.0 fiesta ST, too big an engine and non turbo'd

exactly, look at the engine bay and is there room to fit a 2.0T is the better question

if they can produce a 1.4 putting out the power and economy it does, why do you need one with a 2.0T. If you want that buy a leon its as simple as that

 

[Poverty]

Because a 2.0TFSI will piss all over that buzzy 1.4 TSI. More power, torque, lower emissions and the capability of greater MPG on motorways. A 2.0T would fit also.

The fiesta's main problem was that the engine was 50hp underpowered, other than that it was a great car.
