Ah right, I had a black FR550, traded it in near stockport, always wondered where she went :)

FR550 consists of, USB connection under driver's seat, 18" alloys (specific for 550) Cupra bucket seats with FR logo and a small '550' badge on the back :)

A lot of people use Awesome-GTI for servicing who are VW specialists. You are looking at £109 interim and 169 full and then belt will be around 350 I reckon

Interesting additions. So theres nothing EXTRA with the FR550 from a performance perspective - the same engine configuration as a 'normal' FR ?

The USB connection - allows connection of a compatible MP3 / Music player? Similar concept to the Audio Jack connection in the console between the Driver/Passenger seat which also allows you to connect your MP3 player directly?

I love the look of the Cupra Black bucket seats! A set of these with the FR Logo (from an FR550) would look perfect in mine! Anyone selling a set, please let me know! ;)

no, no performance upgrades just a tech spec upgrade. probably be able to change tracks etc with usb through MFD like the newer models.
