Yeah. Can't argue wi price. Know someone who bought a standard Cupra, may have had more miles, no mods and was only about 200-300 cheaper

probably not

I have learned one thing, if I want a whoosy dump valve, buy a Scooby lol. This one sound ok. Just get a little "ttssshhh", nothing OTT

Welcome to the big league mate , bet your loking forward to the next meet , infact fook that RR DAY!!!

You dare buy ANY duel port dv ( split r , t smart ) i will destroy you , just because you look like the grouch dont be a muppet lol! Seriously keep the pressure inside where it belongs and if you want noise then get the autotech induction kit from jbs.

very nice mate

Markmeus: That was the other mod I knew I forgot on the list. The rear wiper will be gone within the next week or so

Markoos: Been told its about 190bhp. We'll see when I get to a RR

Caveo: I shall indeed be keeping in internal, may pop to the RR if I'm off

Are you trying to deCuprafy a Cupra lol

what wrong with the greyish bump strips?

Click to expand...

was just thinking, with the black wheels and all that. May make the bump strips "proper" black no dark grey, just to match a bit. Either that, or smooth them out.

Whilst washing the car, I was thinking of fully smoothed rear bumper, no plate recess or anything

ha ha, thought you might be lol

just gotta wait for you to get one. Then we'll progress from being "Kings of non-cupras" to the ultimate "Cupra Kings"

Rich.h44 , are going to pop along to this one ........LMAO!!!
