I like the red inserts they cost £120 for both alot cheaper than the black ones.Im not to shaw if its been chipped and remaped already cause is really fast and i pulled away from my uncles leon cupra r of a round about.My dad had a 20v turbo which was a 180 bhp and he said it felt faster than that.Would like a bigger turbo if i blow this one up i live near derv doctores so prob go there.

It will be quicker than the 180 if it's been remapped cos you have more torque. I've had a bit of fun with a remapped Cupra and it wasn't getting past easily at all.

The wheels you have look so much better just from painting them. Before they looked out of place, and too standard for the rest of the car.

Now they look good.
