Cupra looks great... apart from the front number plate. Maybe get a small one?

I like that, but the seat material seems a bit :/

Does it look any different in real life?

Yeah the pictures don't do it just, the interior looks very plasticky in that pic.

Isn't the case IRL. Will get better pics this weekend hopefully with the SLR camera.

Interior is a really nice place to be, especially with the pano roof, lots of extra light in the day. I love how massive the mirrors are as well, a lot more visibility than the Polo lol.

Nah I like the plate. Small plates only really suit heavily modded cars or imports IMO.

Looks great Nath but in the spirit of the Forums I have to pull it on summit. The green plastic key tag & ugly tax disc holder is all I could find.

Enjoy.

Hehe, yeah the green plastic tag is part of the spare key, has the VIN number and radio reset code on. The spare is now safety at home

Yeah the tax disc holder will be replaced asap. Thinking of one of these? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Seat-Cupra-Richbrook-Twist-Open-Tax-Disc-Holder-/320686835767?pt=UK_Car_Interior_Accessories&hash=item4aaa6cc837#ht_1974wt_1163

It really looks the shiz in sunlight. Going to give it a good wash and wax this weekend if weather and time allows.

Ad, you're right, what have I done. If only I'd taken the time to think about what I wanted properly and weigh up all the options.

What should I get? An FTSlow? A 'lude? Perhaps something French.

Sacrebleu!

It's good to see you have one, now get digging to find out what jobs need doing on it

Muffin needs kakimoto.

No no no, standard backbox is fine, kakimoto sounds silly and won't give any real world power increase.

There is nothing slow about the right FTO. Not the right car for you sure but the whole FTSlow thing is a bit daft

It's great owning one

Needs a small tweak as it's running lean thanks to the previous owner. HKS super flow on there atm and looking at Tegiwa. HKS exhaust is :cool:

PE2's being ordered (15" choice is crap but the price isn't anything to turn my nose at). Gonna get the car up on the ramps to check the status of the suspension but it all feels tight. Brakes need addressing, probably just do proper pads discs and braided lines.

I do, but only for Sunday drives!

The whole post was a bit daft, keep up!

How much did you pay if you don't mind me asking Muffin?

mjt · 26 Oct 2011 at 19:16

Nice. Ain't got nothin' on a rental Vectra though.

I've signed a NDA, find out on 1st Jan 2013.

True true but only because I have to pay to fix it.

Great looking Cupra...I know it is early days but do you think it will be remapped? Almost rude not to?

I have to ask, do you live down around this way as well?

I always see this car around here with a woman driving it, I know it's that car because I recognise the number plate.

LOL no plans to mod the car at all, it's not even run in yet! Although the remaps do take the car to 210bhp which is quite some increase!

I bet the fuel economy isn't too bad either?
It makes something like the RX8 look positively insane to own considering the fuel economy for similar power!
Nice car btw

, guys over seatcupra.net haven't reported any drop in fuel economy following a remap. But yeah RX8's are mentally stupid for the fuel they use when you put it into perspective.

Noxia · 27 Oct 2011 at 20:37

I quite like that SEAT. Nice car.

Mistaken identity I'm afraid. I live in Maidenhead and no woman has ever driven the car

The Ibiza looks great and I'm surprised at how nice the interior looks, only seen one on the road so far in white, I've seen no Polo GTI's and quite a few of the Fabia's
