Yeh had the same time to wait last year but it made me enjoy driving it for the first time so much more. Especially when I will be driving it over 1000 miles in a couple of days in France...

Sweet! You really do like silver ay... both look good together! I'd put the cc bumpstrips on if it were mine! Well you've had every mk3 apart from the diseasels Josh!

 

[cus]

chuffed for you mate! you get a cupra.. and i sell mine tomorrow!

get swapping those bumper strips over looks well looked after! think i've seen it on pistonheads!

 

[turbo009]

[markmeus]

Yeh I love the silver. Also love the red and blue but this came up first at a price I couldn't refuse

chuffed for you mate! you get a cupra.. and i sell mine tomorrow!

get swapping those bumper strips over looks well looked after! think i've seen it on pistonheads!

Cheers bud. Yeh think I will change the bump strips over as it looks so much better with them! And your right it was/is on pistonheads

Nice Cupra! You've gone right up the range... and I've still got my 1.4 lol

Yeh, I have a summer job which is well paying so spending the money before I get it as you do..! Might as well with the student free interest overdraft!!

does look well, it's nice to see that there are still some bog standard ones about (even though it won't be for long )

Well I think I am going to keep it relatively standard for a while yet anyway. Saying that I will get bored of it before long!

Nice one! I start a 1 year placement in July which pays pretty well, so will probably change the Beeza at some stage in the next year. Having said that it runs well, looks ok and being a 1.4 keeps me out of trouble lol! Just getting a bit bored of it now.

 

[adja240986]

looking really nice mate. should go with 190bhp.

 

[abhardwaj1990]

Wow nice car!!! How much is your insurance on that!? I didn't think you could get insured on a cupra or gti till 21 lol

 

[Ibiza125]

Some new stuff, well most of it from the old car but here are the updates on the Cupra:

Added my SeatSport upper-front sturtbrace with stainless bolts to acompany it, as well as Forge strut top covers. Also added the Forge oil cap cover and expansion tank cover.
All it needs now is a very good clean, and the bypasses

Engine bay was given a vac line overhaul, well at least all the lines I could see. Couldn't be bothered doing the bypasses yet but they will most likely be done once I can get my head round them!

Blank Ronals on Think the grey side strips look good with the black so I am keeping them on.
Rear 15mm spacers are yet to be put on but will be when I have the wheels off during its service to get tyres swapped about.
Also took the short aerial off my old car.

In the process of swapping my single nomad pillar for a double, which will have 2x nomad gauges, boost and oil pressure.

Also looking at intercooler options.

And I think that's about it for now.
