Hi guys.

Can anyone please outline the differences between the cupra and the fr? I only know of a few things and was wonderin if the differences make up for the diff in price.

Also- has anyone ever purchased or know whether you can expect any discounts on a Cupra if bought new? i was lead to believe that you could not.

Thanks people. :)

If you search, there are probably lots of posts detailing the differences.

But basically:
Different engine. - Bigger turbo and stronger internals for more tuning potential - biggest difference.
Black grill surround
Bigger brakes - 345mm as opposed to 312mm on the front. also painted red.
very slightly different bumper design on the front
18inch cupra wheels
oval exhaust
Cupra 'badging' - logo's, gearstick, dials.
aluminuim suspension components for lighter unsprung weight
bi-xenons as standard
black interior roof lining
different seats (alothugh the FR maybe getting the same seats soon?)
black wing mirrors
different type of black paint if you choose black.
