DAB,Sportrider and Formula Sport

Hi, I don't know about the other 2 but the sportrider was the last batch of mk4s and they put a few extras on them (cruise control, climate control, fr body kit, heated mirrors, old fr alloys......). They came in 1.4 and I believe a 1.9tdi.

Difference of sportrider and DAB to formula sport are

DAB
- Addition of DAB radio

Sportrider
- Addition of cruise control
- FR/Cupra rear bumper
- Looses Leather steering wheel
- Looses trip computer
- Has light grey plastics instead of black
- Has different upholstery
- Looses FR/Cupra style dials
- Has FR style grilles at front
- Addition of climate control
- Addition of heated/electric folding mirrors

Engine wise, the DAB and Sportrider came with both the 1.4 100hp and the 1.9 tdi 100hp, however, the Formula Sport only came with the 1.4 100hp.

Without being biased, yeah they are very equipped cars, i love mine :)

But the Formula sport model came with some real nice seats, black with red stitching.

Heh I was aiming for that tbh :) i'm guessing the FR comes with all the above?

Will be waiting a while before getting anything though :( being made redundant the end of the month. Shame really as I was actually looking before getting the bad news. Always the way

We Cant All Afford FR's Phil :p So Some Of Us Make Do With 1.2/1.4 Mods :D

true, and im not negative on modding 1.2 or 1.4 ive had them both and modded them, but i would like to think most would agree even if you pilled money into bhp mods on a 1.4 your never going to see that much in gains.

on a 1.2/1.4 money really should be spent on handling and cosmetic

EDIT with the exception of filters - cheap, make a good noise and add a little power

Yeh, My 1.2 Is Mostly Cosmetic Apart From The Exhaust And Panel Filter I Would Say :p Still Sounds And Looks Good Though :D
