So it's been a year this month since I bought my mk5 facelift Ibiza cupra and loved every minute of driving it!
Previous to the cupra I had the mk5 pre facelift 1.2tsi sportcoupe which got me hooked on the seat scene! Brilliant little car which I fitted the genuine rear spoiler to which made a huge difference to its appearance, also fitted the forge dumpvalve, made a custom alloy induction kit and used a racechip tuning box which made a huge difference to the little 1.2 engine! I'd love to show pics of that car but I've lost them all now unfortunately! So il get started on my cupra.
List of mods so far
•oem side skirts and spoiler fitted from factory
•H&r lowering springs (unfortunately don't know the size as I bought them on the car!)
•forge induction kit
•team heko wind deflectors (taken from my 1.2tsi!)
•milltek non resonated cat back
•hydro dipped carbon fibre rear diffuser and vents
•cupra door sill carbon fibre decals
•carbon fibre dsg paddle extensions
•needle sweep activated via Carista
•smoked side repeaters
•fly eye front fogs/rear reflectors/front+rear seat badge
Future plans!
•milltek large bore downpipe with sports cat-ordered!
•front mount intercooler as per turboboys guide-ordered!
•alloy refurb and possible respray! Need some ideas on a colour would like a nice gun metal grey but haven't seen any black cupras with grey alloys so not sure, not keen on all black cars
•stage 2 remap via jbs auto designs
•possible hybrid turbo build out of my stock turbo
Not much aesthetics, I like to keep it looking clean and simple! But I want to bring out the full potential of the twincharger!
Will keep posting on progress of my mods!
