strange... if i check my plate with HPICHECK it tells me that;
Vehicle Details1 for registration number P*** XGJ
Make Year of manufacture Model Engine size(CC)
SEAT 1997
IBIZA GTI 16V CUPRA SPORT 1984
and mine have GTi 16V on them
yours is the same as mine - my car is a 16v cupra sport
its badged as a gti as the very earlier ones didnt hava a cupra sport
sticker on the back
the cupra sport is the same as the equivalent gti models engine wise the only differences are that the cupra sport doesnt have air con and/or sunroof and has 30% thinner soundproofing which makes it lighter - they are the only main difference i know of, and insurance companies dont always get it right when you put the plate in - tesco reckoned mine was an 8v - they wanted another £4 to change it to 16v
your logbook is a better indication - it will say
Ibiza 16v Gti Cupra Sport - the cupra is stil a gti - just technically more rally like so it earnt the cupra branding
tho if im wrong someone correct me - i am female and i can be told im wrong
my cupra sport has the same seats as you and has a 16v gti
badge on the back
so our cars are pretty much identical as mine is the same blue as yours
great choice btw
