I enquired before and they said if enough people wanted one then they'd develop it, I tried I raise interest but no one seemed bothered for a splitter on the standard bumper. Oh well!

Just incase you are still looking for people.. I would most probably be intereseted in a rear diffuser (obviously if its done well etc) for the leon 1p cupra with the standard slot for the exhaust (not dual)..

Not in my Mk2 Cupra but took my parents Altea 1.2 TSI to the 24H of Le Mans [B)]

Never seen so much crazy Brits in my life!!! Die-hard racefans but you are all mad, specially after a beer or 2 ;)

Got my car back from Midland VW today, had front/rear brake discs change with new pads, motul racing brake fluid change, timing belt kit inc water pump, cam cover gasket, and a full service inspection. Drives a lil different now and mpg seems to have raised. Highly recommend midland vw for any work needed. :D
Time for the remap now i thinks!

Yesterday I went to silverstone for the Porsche experience, really enjoyed it! Car did over 400 miles yesterday at 70-80mph and and trip read 57.5mpg at the end which I think is pretty good!

Why?

Much nicer car (in my opinion of course), had a really great day out in it and the build quality is just night and day. Considering it is lower and stiffer than the Cupra, it rides much better and gives way more confidence through the twisty roads.
But not everyone's cup of tea, but we had a Cooper in 2005 and always regretted selling it.

Each to their own I guess but I wouldn't swap my car for one.

Enjoy it though fella.

Sounds like a good choice to me :thumbup:

I've always liked the new shape minis and have toyed with buying an R56 Cooper S in the past. It is indeed a nicer than the Leon (albeit smaller) but I've always found them a bit expensive and high mileage compared to the equivalent Ibiza or Leon on the used market.
