Must have mk5 cupra mods?

[ALEXZ360]

Hi guys picking up my cupra on Wednesday, and was wondering what must have mods there are??

Already planned -
1: SCN stickers
2: fan washers
3: forge blow off spacer
4: either new bulbs all round or some R8 style headlights
5: already refurbishing some wheels
6: springs / coilovers

Anything else??

Seat spoiler and skirts ? you dont have to get both but imo even just one of the two added to the cupra really sets it off !

Have a look at some of the readers rides threads to see what they have done...can start on mine (see my ride below).

Well done on getting new motor. Hope you enjoy it.

wind deflectors

Wind deflectors, skirts & spoiler, full forge BOV (sounds better than the spacer), either ITG or forge induction kit

That's pretty much my mod list minus big brakes and rarb. In an ideal world I would lower mine but just can't bare the hassle of it.

Was going to get a full blow off valve system but apparently they won't fit the 2011 engines... So was just going to go for the spacer

Says who? Mines a late 61 plate with the updated engine and fits fine

Says forge on the awesome gti page

About half way down it says, "this will not fit 2011 models with the IHI turbo"

Congrats on the Cupra bud!

I'd honestly stay away from the spacer, I like Firge products and I bought this but it got a bit annoying after a while. Bus air brakes springs to mind.

Cheers mate, and so I should just stay away from any changes to the blow of valve??

Depends what you like, with the ITG kit on my car you can hear the OEM BOV more anyway so might be best to start with that and if it's not enough try more.

Planning on getting her mapped?

 

[ALEXZ360]

lol ive not even picked her up yet, give me a chance

 

[VRSLOZ]

No excuses

 

[ALEXZ360]

Lol

I've not heard the spacer but most say its not great. But as said above, a forge or itg will make the turbo And bov sound great.

Led lights inside and out, makes a nice change to the look of the car I think.

Springs give it the look it deserves. I think mine looks great now.

Sparco alloys?

 

[Jay1990]

Oh, And you'll need one of these...

Which ITG have you got? My carbon ones pretty quiet tbh

I just fitted the official Seat spoiler to my boc and it REALLY finishes the car off. I don't understand why a halo model like the boc doesn't come with the full additional sports package on it already!

Some epic spoiler evidence

Facelift tail lights are also good
