Thinking of making a come back to the Seat badge but only model I'd really consider now is a Leon Cupra or FR TDi with the Cupra R bumpers.

was this a factory model or have people just been fitting the bumpers themselves?

I seen one available last week in a Cardiff dealership (not Seat) for £5700, 55 plate with 48k miles but it looks to have gone now.

What's peoples thoughts on the price?

Thats a good price

The late fr's 55 plate onwards came with the lcr bumpers and 17" lcr wheels

I bought mine a year ago

05 plate FR non cupra r rep which is what i prefer (more q car)

On 95k for 4800 at a dealer

But got an awesome trade in of 4k on my octy mk1 55 plate 75k so wasn't too fussed!

Made the cash back in no time! (Cheaper ins / running costs / tax)

The octy was running 210bhp and the fr tdi made 198bhp with a remap so not much in it :)

ok so it sounds like it was a fair price then, not surprised it was snapped up quickly as it was sub 50k and in good nick.

I think its top of my affordable list especially if I can get one with average miles or less.

Thank you Chaps
I'll keep my eye on the forsales!!

well I've been offered the new job I was expecting so I definitely need to replace my type R with a diesel (it's a field job but I use my own car and they pay for fuel)

f I go for a Leon FR tdi then its got to have LCR kit. would like cruise, remap and if poss a factory sat nav? can you fit a double din?

you can fit a double din but needs a new centre console (£250 used) and a decent double din head unit is about £600 new

the ones with cupra r kit were the FR+ quite rare im led to belive

I bought a FR+ few months ago, red, Cupar R bits inc seats for £3500 private sale. Mine did have 138k on clock but FSH and circa 200+ bhp :D and I can't complain. Passed MOT 1st time last month with no advisories. Car return 50mpg on a decent run.
