Hi after a lot of research on here and a long search I've finally got myself a yellow mk3 Ibiza Cupra :D
Bought it from a member on here and its tastefully modified pretty much to my tastes.
Only addidtions I might make are a leon splitter but I don't think it'll clear my driveway :( Will look into the tt shifter aswell.
Really pleased with it so far! A few pics I took today after its first clean.

Thanks for the comments everyone, but I started this thread over a year ago when I got the cupra, sadly I've sold it just before xmas - excellent car, not one bit of trouble other than the typical clutch pedal needing welded up. Always recommend them to others.
Hadnt had a respray as far as I was aware, I bought it from a member on here.
Treated myself to this after selling the ibiza, different sort of power delivery. Cant decide whether I prefer turbo or vtec power yet!

:lol: each to their own Riko, but id have a cupra over the type r aswell. The type r's are very good handling cars though, would run rings around the cupra on a track, but they lack any sort of torque and you have to thrash the pants off it to get it to move anywhere. Nice example mate!

WELL i think mate the type r is a far better car than the ibiza- Handling, looks, power (standard i mean), interior build quality and the overall build quality you can run one dry of oil and they still run and thrash the pants off them all day and not have to worry about anything! only thing lets them down is theres alot of them on the road and alot of them chaved up!

Alright mate, can't remember where the guy was from, somewhere around Glasgow I think. Aye she was a good car, had no problems at all with her.
I sold the type r and live in Australia now, never see any Seats over here
