before someone says why not buy a cupra (r) !!!... well to be fair i could off but after sticking £60 quid a week in my scooby just to get to work i just felt a tdi would be better , and besides even if i had brought a cupra i would of still wanted to spend money and change something on it ..

[RobM]

Looking very good, you've definitely been busy! It's always nice to see before and after shots of cars like this, just to see the overall affect the changes have had

 

[jamesy]

looks very good, wanting to put the cupraR bumpers on mine, expensive so might have to wait.
very nice car.
one question thou.... is there a reason for not buying a TDi FR? or cupra TDI?
if your wondering for me its insurance as i couldnt get quoted for them

 

[olaf]

How old are you Jamesy? Got any NCB? You in a high risk area?

That's the down site to reading this forum... it spends your money for you!

 

[Gnollins]

Too right Rob. This forum has cost me a fortune

 

[jamesy]

How old are you Jamesy? Got any NCB? You in a high risk area?

20years, will be 21 come renewal, been driving since march 2005 but had my first policy as of october 2005 so only got 1yr NCB at presnt.
so renewal will be 21, 2yr NCB not sure about the area, im outskirts of Portsmouth so im asuming its pretty high risk

Car looks spot on!...where can I find cupra facelift bumpers??been searching the net for ages,no joy on ebay at the moment and struggling a bit to find some

 

[Nutkin]

join the club rarer than rocking horse poop

 

[stevo72]

Looks good, where did you get the bumpers from?? having trouble finding the facelift ones...i am tempted to get some either those or the LCR ones, i have seen for around £350 for complete set for teh LCR on ebay !

 

[phil739]

got the front bumper of ebay £140 and the rear off this site for £70 ... you have to be very quick on ebay and offer some money to end auction as they normally sell within hours of being listed

thanks all for the comments

 

[karlosR]

that looks spot on mate, i love the look of the cupra facelift bumpers

 

[m_zafar]

are the bumpers my02 or 03?

 

[jamie paton]

absolutely smashing motor mate, windows and callipers look the biz, my car still puts a smile on my face as well. sad eh. perhaps a LCR front splitter on it though good looking mod for only 20 quid. very well done phil.

 

[65coupe]
