Is the boddy kit worth getting?

[Guinness]

Was shopping today for what I want 2 do to the car next after ordering the parts Iv mentioned before and I was wondering if you guys could give me any info on them, ie do they work with a seat 1.2 53 reg, are there any cooling problems, hard to fit etc. Anything that I should know. must admit they r very sexy

cupra bumpers?

they'd be fine on a 1.2, no problems with cooling as they dont have an intercooler.

although you would need 17's and uprated suspension to really pull it off IMHO

 

[rashcupra]

cupra bumpers and ms desighn side skirts better than any aftermarket body kit imho

 

[Guinness]

yep chears its a long way off in the pipe line, just checking its an option for when I want it

 

[RichieRich]

hey guys every1 uses the term "imho" would some1 like to tell me what the beeeeep it means its really annoying... ummm how about the new style bumpers? or the Fr front bumper grills the cupra rear bumper and some side skirts? would be very different!

 

[Sisson]

IMHO - In my honest opinion

 

[davels]

while were on the subject what does afraik mean??

 

[RichieRich]

yeah i dont know that one neither :S they should make a tread or somethink somewere that tells you these "stupid" short term words mean...

 

[driveforward]

AFAIK is "as far as I know"

Not sure what the 'r' variant is

Fantastic, so if I fit some Cupra bumpers it wouldnt affect performance at all? (not that my 1.2 is oozing much in the first place though!)

 

[Sisson]

Nope

 

[rashcupra]

it wil affect your wallet tho!!!! lol your talking £250 for the rear bumper with valance and probably alot more for the front bumper bout £350 (with grill) thats not including fogs whick cost me £50ish each then the fog surrounds spraying and fitting the bumpers! To fit a cupra body kit to your 1.2 all retail probably gonna be paying in excess of about £1000 plus!

 

[Guinness]

yep relised that like gona be rather pricey, hence the reason for "future" plans lol.

 

[rashcupra]

cool just thought id warn you but personally id prefer to have this kit over aftermarket once imo

what other plans have you you got in "future" plans

 

[Guinness]

aww man ya asking asking summit there, at the mo got a strut brace coming, working on the flip key, changing gear surround, fan grills, seat sport gear knob on way, front grill kit just for the front badge, TT pedals, later on probably after next few pays alloys thinking OZ racing F1 Evo Cups with toyo tires not sure what profile thiking 195/45R16.

Also as said got plans for the body kit, some painting and think al finally get some car mats tomorow lol very scared of wearing my carpet out as dealer didnt give me any. Once thats done a might have 2 think of some more lol. Spent this months wage on the car baisicly

 

[rashcupra]

join the club i spend all my wages and overdraft on mine via rent ect!

sound like youve got alot of plans in the making then we have something in common never really seen the atraction to having a bigger key but each to there own

 

[Guinness]

nah I wouldnt have just gone for the mod either, but only got the 1 key and instead of getting another 1 cut thought I might as well have a go at it anyway.

 

[rashcupra]

fair doos

 

[owlidonly]

and what's 'iirc'?
sorry to go off topic but never got that one
