Stupid Question?

[vwgtiking]

Right, i looking for a seat leon cupra and most are around 2002 age...

i dont really like the wheels these cars come with however, i love the 18" cupra r's!

My question is will the cupra r's alloys fit the older cupras?

thanks shaun

Yes they will. Not cheap though!

They`ve been selling on here for £600>£700.I saw a mk1 leon cupra yesterday with new golf gti alloys,but i was`nt impressed . Tsw catulanya(probably spelt wrong) look sinilar but i saw them on a beetle at ultimate dubs and i dont think they suited the car.Multispokes aways look nice , but they ars a nightmare to clean.I`m looking to change alloys ,as my mk1 is red i`m tempted by 17"/18" tsw volcano or new rs4 replicas

How low would you guys recommend with the 18" alloys on?

 

[RobM]

Personally, I wouldn't go any lower than 30mm, but it all comes down to personal preference and budget!

If you can afford height adjustable coilovers, you can make the car as low as you want it. Otherwise, stick with some decent dampers and springs and lower 30mm ish and you'll be sorted

Thanks mate, any more tips... i notice a lot of people map their cars with revo???? is this something i can do myself or specialised garage or somewhere that generally re-maps cars?

It's something a Revo dealer will need to do for you. Do a search for 'remap' and you will literally find hundreds if not thousands of comments with good info in. There are quite a few remap options so it's worth reading what people think of each

Other than that, there are a few 'must have' mods that you might be interested in... and again, plenty of info out there, so get searching

The Fabia rear wiper is a popular, cheap and easy one.
The Honda aerial is another. Both are subtle yet effective mods.
A new DV (dump valve / diverter valve) is a must if you plan on remapping the car. Worthwhile mod anyway to be honest.
Panel filter is worth changing, or induction kit if you're that way inclined.
HID lights are a new favourite, but as the days are getting longer they move down the priority list a little.

And most importantly... a SeatCupra.net sticker
