You're better off selling your 1.4 and buying a cupra.

On top of your brake upgrade, you should uprate the suspension. Even then, you'll be missing the other nice bits, such as the better interior.

I bet that swapping your car for a cupra will be cheaper when you take into account the cost of parts, the cost to put them in and the additional insurance costs you will occur when you do the various upgrades.

In any case, if you're talking about the older golf engines (i.e. the 2.0 8v, 16v, 1.8 16v), they're the same as in the cupras anyway.
