I still catch myself staring at the speed blue k1s that are appearing on the approved SEAT site. Get one bought is all I can say!

Buy an early 07 Cupra for approx £12k and spend the money you waste on the nasty Aero bumpers on a nice remap and exhaust to see 320bhp or so. Add a £300 intercooler, £300 intake and £300 fuel pump upgrade for 360bhp and the ability to kill a tuned LCR to death.

I've got the FR170 Diesel, 70bhp difference to the Cupra and I love it, I honestly do. After reading the whole thread, as everyone else says, take a test drive! If you do decide to go for a standard Cupra without the BTCC kit, you can always be reminded a little of your LCR like this..

that's the LCR splitter and I think they look fab on the standard bodykit cars :)
If I could afford the insurance on a Cupra then trust me, I would of had one ages ago but after mine is remapped with an exhaust system it's probably gonna sit around 220bhp anyway, plus all that extra torque, so I'm happy :) As I said, love my MK2 :D

1 of mine and several of Owens. Cupra bumpers with Aero Skirts and spoiler with black wheels are a nice (the best) combo ;)
