To be honest, im not that arsed how it looks - im bothered about whats underneath, the suspension/brakes/engine differences are what im looking for answers to?

I know the turning circle on the R ( 19's) is larger than the Cupra ( on 18's) .

That's unfortunately right.

Cupra owner here, it's true, there's very little to distinguish the Cupra from a standard 1.4 at first glance. I like that though, a bland looking shopping hatchback with over 300bhp (in mine anyway) is great fun and very few people expect it to be capable of the performance it has.

I'm fully away of the differences but to about 99% of drivers you'll meet on the road, the Cupra is just another basic hatchback to look at. I never really noticed the differences until I had owned it a few months.

Ive got a cupra also and i can tell what im looking at lol. I know what your saying, my point was more at the fisherman just because they have the R and think there superior when its just cosmetic and seats. Maps the same mods the same wasnt worth the extra 5k plus over a cupra for those seats and exhaust not for me anyway hate leather seats.

Personally i didn't like the seats in a Cupra R, and the white display on the dash. It wasn't the extra cost either that put me off buying a Cupra R.
I just preferred the look of a K1. Plus after a remap the power is identical. Comes down to personal choice really.

Yeah seats arnt that nice imo. Only reason i didnt buy a k1 was all the replica dervs about lol.

Yeah proper gash!

 

[yellonvi-R]

Big difference between not liking something and saying there gash tbh.
