Took this in part exchange for the equivalent value of £1000 against my mint MR2 Turbo, then got the number plate valued at £400. Alas here is my £600 Cupra!

Very impressed with it, never intended on keeping it... I've now had her around 6 Months..flew through its MOT last week, pulls away from Type-R's, nice to drive, handles well, strong engine, better on fuel than i was expecting. All round winner.

I haven't done anything to it myself apart from give it a polish, service and removed the hideous stickers that covered the entire rear and rear side windows!

Because its got a 400 quid plate on it doesn't really make it a 600 quid Cupra lol. If you sold the plate for that then that would see you at 600quid.

hybrid turbo on a standard TIP?

No idea! Like i say i don't know much about it. I just took it in P/X as a run around, that spec is what i have receipts for and i confirmed it with the garage that done it.

To be honest i wouldn't be bothered if half of it wasn't on there for what i got it for, this is kinda why i'm on here, would quite like to meet someone near me who knows a lot about them who could give it a look over!

Cheers everyone! I'm still liking it after 6 months so i think i'll keep it for a while! i'm a bit of a nightmare with cars..had 17 in 8 years of driving :/ need to do a few things to tidy it up but all in all it's pretty clean.
