modded platinum grey cupras

[jd26]

as title really! im looking for a new car to replace my yaris t sport and one of the cars on the list is the mk4 ibiza cupra!

ideally id love one in black (rash's old cupra got me loving them) but im finding it hard looking for one, seen a few in grey... but only seen pics of them standard.

id love to see how one looks slammed on coileys and maybe with spacers a bit like rash's..

anyone got pics?

cheers!

Yea mate - MK4 Cupras are very rare Whats your budget?

 

[Altech]

Mine's not a Cupra but it has the same bumpers. Smoothed rear bumper, Cupra front bumper, schlammed on coilovers, custom exhaust and a few other bits..

There are a load more pics in my readers ride thread if you want to have a look

 

[jd26]

cheers guys, looking to spend up to 6.5k

also looking at the ep3 type R, bmw e46 330 and 225 audi tt's ..

Won't get much of a TT for £6500 surely? Maybe a high milage 2000 plate? I was looking at the 240 Sports! that would be my choice of TT!

 

[jd26]

seen some pretty low mileage (about 40/50k) early models going for prices within my budget!

as you say though they are usually 2000 platers or maybe 2001.. they go for even less with higher miles, just concerned about buying a tt because of them seeming to have endless faults and electrical gremlins!

I'm looking into selling mine but it's Emocion Red. No coilovers yet but most other mods and 240bhp

sounds like a good un mate, i think if i did get one though id go for standard and do bits myself here and there (not that yours isnt very tempting if im honest bet that powers nice)

Fair enough, yea the power is nice...always brings a smile to your face, it will be a shame to let it go

hey mate i have spotted yours while looking actually! why cant it be black?!?!?!

whats the mark on the bumper like? from where you mention your fiance reversed into a wall ? (if thats the right car lol)

cheers for response guys.

*edit i just checked your advert again and can see the pic of it now didnt notice it last time - doh

the options are pretty much down to an ep3 civic type R, bmw 330ci sport coupe or ibiza cupra..

cupra all the way mate. hondas are good but get a cupra im not going to put my oppinion up on bmws because i might get

 

[kriso]

My mate has an EP3 Civic Type-R and we have been in each other's cars quite a bit. The ride is alot less crashy in the Civic and it sounds nice when VTEC kicks in but I still prefer my Cupra

You don't have to rev the hell out of the Cupra and the Type-Rs measly ~143 lb/ft of torque isn't very impressive. Peak power at 7,800 RPM won't do your MPG much good either! A re-mapped Cupra will blow them away trust me, and the brakes are better

 

[jd26]

how does handling compare standard to standard?

 

[kriso]

Type-R handling is better IMO, if a little soft. Independant rear suspension is a good thing, the BMW will have multi-link suspension I suspect too.

 

[jd26]

this is such a hard choice haha got to be honest i prefer the looks of the other 2 cars im considering when standard but a cupra on coilovers etc... hmm
