whats your budget.

best first mod you can do is a stage 1 remap from 400-500 notes. you'll be looking at 280-300hp then.

What do you want to improve one?

Welcome...

Map is a good start, changes the car completely goes like its on steroids

Plenty of maps to choose from depending what you want, lots of threads about different maps if you give it a search

Yeah, get some regular Cupra Bumpers fitted first and foremost, then worry about everything else later .

A cat back exhaust will do nothing but increase noise. If you are after power gain, go for a full turbo back exhaust system, and along with a remap, uprated fuel pump, uprated intake and uprated intercooler, you will have a fair beastie

Set yourself a budget then see what you can afford. Thats the sensible suggestion. If your anything like most of us on here you just keep going until you can,t think of anything else to do

Welcome to the club! I've only recently joined too.

What car did you drive before your K1? As if that was my car, I'd be MORE THAN happy with the complete package for quite some time, before starting to ponder on Mods.

For a quite noticable power increase, look into a Remap.
Sub £500 and go for a Bluefin with custom Remote, enabling you to "play" with your car Mapping on the fly.

Get the map depending on where you live as in to which dealer/reputable dealer is closest to you.

K1 sounds good with just a map and a DP, and is loud but not too loud at that stage. At night my mates can hear my car two to three roads down with this configuration.

Come on guys, we are driving respectable cars, lets not drop ourselves to the level of the "boy racer".
