Options on it include:

Winter Pack
Tech Pack
Front and Rear parking sensors

I had a 1.4 TDi Polo before hand and was looking at a 1.9 TDi 130 Polo or Ibiza but due to insurance and trying to find a decent one i opted for a new car! God knows why!!

AS IT STANDS:
Personal Plate
Heko wind deflectors
Stubby ariel
Black alloys
Black wing mirrors
K&N filter
Clear indicator bulbs all round
Black side repeaters
Cupra gauges on sps
LED interior lights

LED boot light
LED number plate lights
Osram nightbreaker unlimited headlights
Black boot badge
Black Ibiza lettering
FR sills
H&R 25/40 lowering springs

Thanks

Unfortunately, the car developed an oil leak after about only 1000 miles :/

Took it into Stoke Seat, luckily they were quite good good about it, and got the work done under warranty, i luckily had a week off work so they could have the car to fix it and i wouldn't miss any work, i had also had the car booked in anyway to have the tailgate spoiler added, however that didn't turn out as i expected...









... Needless to say i was fuming, how do you manage to paint something the completely wrong colour when you have the car???

Went to wales with the other half and thought the car was looking good so took a snap (even with the wrong coloured spoiler)

Took a few more photos the other night when it was foggy









Got the Spoiler sorted too eventually



And Seat have offered me £150 worth of accessories as goodwill.

I was told though that the FR can't have mud flaps on the front?

Looks nice mate. A healthy list of extras you went for too!

 

[KK]

Not very good quality, might complain

 

[KK]

Got a few new bits for the car



Plan with this is to do the badge at the front and wheels



Quite surprised at the size difference!
Don't know if its me but the car actually feels a bit SLOWER

Car looks nice mate,

I had nothing but problems with seat stoke for months. They are useless IMO. Always go to Crewe now.

Seat stoke actually caused my car to have huge issues, then failed to rectify it or take responsibility for it for about 3 months, Crewe seat sorted it within 4 hours, at a cost of £45 which seat uk refunded me.

hello ..

I do not recommend you paint with plastidip ... once removed leaves residue and then paint either have to sand much much ..

Greetings.

Love the spoiler on this, completely changed the look.

Stunning looking car but think they could've made the alloys look more special as oppose to a top spec mid range ibiza they should stand out like the 1.8 FR's or the pre facelift FR's

Thanks I agree completely, was going to have it down while I was waiting for the 1st of september but couldn't make my mind up. Overall i'm glad i've done it (even with the colour hassle) makes it looks nicer/standout more than a lower spec Ibiza

Cheers I think they look nicer grey/black but I know what you mean. Then again that encourages you to get the Cupra I guess. Having said that I think they are miles better than the standard 16's on an FR (sorry to anyone who owns one)

Update

Got the sport pedals and the fan washer jets from seat with the goodwill money

Pedals fitted, fairly easy, was a bit of a faf removing the old clutch

Can't remember if that was with full beam or not, i've got night breakers in the dipped beam

With my other car

Plans are to lower it with H&R and get spray the alloys, mirror caps, and badges black

 

[JohnHog6]

seen a lot of red ibizas on black alloys so why not give that a go?

How's it been with the K&N?

Quite good, it did initially feel a bit slower but I think that was just me sounds a bit nicer in my opinion too

I'd recommend one, the cars got it's first service on Friday so i'll be taking it out before it goes in as I don't trust the dealer to leave it be
