Black on a 59 plate (first FL Cupra I have seen), pulling over a BMW.

In the Kent area, near bluewater at the time...so be aware!
Eek, thanks for heads up.:blink:

Although it is also a useful excuse to present to ''Er Indoors' re avoiding trips to ever-tedious Bluewater. ;)

some of them will, my brother used to use a 1.7astra cdti which wasnt mapped, and the volvo t5 which wasnt either, but now he uses a vectra vxr which is mapped. though with the extra weight they are forced to carry for equipment etc, the benefits wouldn't be as noticeable as you'd expect, they tried to chase a focus st a while back and it left them for dead, but then some of them will have serious power

im sure many police cars get remapped, i remember P-Torque doing a job lot of police cars.

A bit of an urban myth that one odd ones have been done but standard patrol cars are just that standard. We have some Octy VRS's unmarked that got left for dead a while back whith an E92 M3 and Ferrari Modena road racing!! 330i Touring is becoming popular as the T5 petrol is no longer made and was an excellent load carrier better than a 5 Series strangley!!

I was behind a copper in an unmarked scooby. He had a brake light out, so I pulled up next to him and said "Excuse me mate, you have a brake light out, need to check that sorted before you get pulled over" Then noticed he was a copper and I got a bit of a snarl off him :D

One rule for them, another for the rest of us. Police can do what they like, didn't you know that :D

Well I know the Evo X's are standard because my mate services them and carries out warranty work on them lol there the 300's and they carry about 100 kilos of gear so your right mate there just a 'show of force'
