My Leon Cupra ^_^

[tonashp]

Hi Guys, after having to wait 3 weeks to pick it so I could get a full years tax and so it could have all the bits the dealer was throwing in.

Here she is, not the best photos as the light was going after I finished work.

What I know is has is:

Adaptive Xenon lights
Auto Dipping rear mirror
folding mirrors
USB under driverseat

I have already changed the numberplate lights for the led ones from my mk5 golf.

It drives great, the noise from the exhaust and noise from the turbo, all add to the drive.

I went out looking for a mk5 golf gti, and bought the cupra. As I felt it fitted the bill better, drove just as well and I got better value for my money than the golf offered.

I also think how the lights move around corners, very cool. But the best bit, which the golf gti didnt have are the seats, the seats are huge and comfy and you just slot into them which is great.

But I also like how everything is big, those huge 345mm discs on the front, the big exhaust tip of the back. Nothing says its the hot version, but all the lil things let you know its not going to hang around.

Anyway here is the pics, look forward to going to some meets and putting faces to names.

Ok its been a while, may as well post a update.

October came and my car saw its first ring trip, had a great time got 3 laps in which was great fun plus 20minutes on the GP track as well.

However as much fun as I had in germany and enjoying my new toy, it all came to a crashing halt when a bus driver ran into the side of me and pushed me into another car. Admiral decided to be a useless as possible in dealing with my poor smashed up car stuck blocking the enterance on McDonalds

That nearly made me cry when i saw it dragged onto the low loader and have the guy rip the rear bumper off.

However they did fix it and made the ordeal of doing so as difficult as possible, quoted 2 weeks by the "approved" repaired. 2 months later I finally got it back, minus the rear LED numberplate that someone at the garage "missplaced"

Anyway apart from the slight damaged to my poor car, its back fit and healthy. To treat it for spending 2 months in that horrible place getting put back together, I treated her to all LED lights and a photoshoot
Here are some of the pictures from my photoshoot.

and my favourite
