Nice mate. Wheels need to go a bit darker to complete the look. 8)

Nicer looking than that Leon behind it too!

its an ibiza cupra 1.8 20v turbo mate. as standard they do suffer from not enough low down torque (same as valvers do) but a few choice mods and a re-map they soon see over 200bhp (156 std).

zollo, yeah i want the wheels doinc anthracite when i can afford it (gonna do them last once i've done under the bonnet :P )

oh and i'll not tell my mum you dont like her leon :lol: pulls like a fecking train though and is by far the fastest diesel i've ever been in!

i have driven the Cupra | the 6speed diesel, that was alright and I also drove the Cupra R which had been remapped that was abit faster with the traction control light flashing in 2nd....They are lacking 1 thing....The Fun Factor :wink: Looks clean tho :)

Looks good, my favourite shape cupra- not into these new seats, been thinking about one of the early ones myself as i believe they are good value for money these days?

i think they are too tbh. mine cost me 4.6k and its a nice clean almost std example ( i prefered it this way so i know exactly whats done to it) but you can pick up ones running 230bhp for around 5.5-6k. again nice clean std ones are 4.5-5k depending on age and milage ect.

be careful if you opt for a cupra r as most of the yellow ones were used at rockingham raceway as track cars and all of them have had panels at one time or another.

Very nice!

I've just bought an '03 Seat Leon Cupra R in black, which has been remapped to 252bhp :P

It's done just 30k and i've paid £8,650 for it, which i think is an absolute bargain! Most cars around this mileage go for around £12k!

Picking it up at the weekend hopefully, can't wait! Will get some pics up once it's been polished.

Don't worry though i'll be getting another clio in the not too distant future as a little toy on the side! :)

Dont worry youd have to pay me to own a yellow one lol I'd have to have one with as much service history as poss as i know the 1.8t engine well and how things go wrong with them if the oil isnt changed regularly.

Personally I really like the wheels!

Think they suit the car real nice.

Quite like these! :o
