pretty sure i had one of these when i got the car, it was straight off obviously...but it was exactly like that but clear, think it was just to protect the lights from stone chips.

Thats the main part that worries me! but on the other hand the beeza would probly be a more fun car?? insurance isnt really any different, just the FR would cost twice the price to buy in the first place!

Difficult one this.....

Mk3 Cupra would probably be more fun, and stand out a lot more as you don't see very many.

Leon would ride better Id imagine, maybe handle better (not sure) and is more of a 'grown up' car I'd say.

Depends what you're after mate.

If you've got a lot of extras already on your car, then if you get a mk3 cupra you can just swap stuff into that, like wheels, speakers etc.

What's stopping you? (thats a genuine question lol)

money my friend.. i just spend £1600 on an engagement ring for my now beautiful fiance. also just spent £1500 clearing my dept and i now only have around £600 and i am saving for a house at the moment.

thats why.. and tbh it sucks :(. i could get a loan for the car but its not financially wise.

doh yea. sry its done 130k but hey with a car like that you would not know! mine has done 120k miles and when i was at a meet some guy came up to me and said (exact quote)
him :'is that the new shape ibiza ? it looks gorgeous'
me: no mate its a mk3 ibiza and its a Y reg
him: 'you can be serious , its an 08 plate its far too nice to be 7 years old!
me: nope seriously, its done 120k miles.
him: *face of shock* i dont belive you.. let me see the clock....

i showed him and he could nto belive it, he then talked to me for about 45 min an hour on how i cleaned my car and how i kept it looking so good :D

quite proud my car was thought to be an 08 plate !

new shape Ibiza? lol. I only mentionned mileage cos its high and you'd wanna mke sure it's been looked after, not saying it LOOKS like its a high miler, meant more internally

with only 2 owners and basically all motorway miles im sure its nto been pushed overly hard... its like buying a cupra r that was used as rockingham race course... it would have been really abused, but im sure some one drives it very hapily without even knowing of its previous history
