It"s different, now im looking to upgrade to bigger brakes to fill more the space, with 19" wheels, the oem brakes look small I am going to test the mk2 cupra front brakes maybe
Hi all, got this FR last week. Really enjoying it, pretty nippy and returning great mpg. It's a 1.4 fr technology.
I used to be on here years ago when I had a Mk1 Cupra R 225... And now I'm back (after 5 years in a Mk6 GTI) in a 2016 Cupra 290, and I love it! Ridiculously fast!
The 290 is a very nice car and good color but i have to say like @Damo H the MK1 Is a great looking motor even today.
My Cupra 290 arrived today. Got the camera out while it's still clean , first impressions are this car is a hooligan haha. 3 separate people that have been in my M135i say the Cupra feels faster, I reckon it's down to the DSG as it's not got as much power as the BMW. But, yeah, I'm happy, it's a very lively car which gets the power down better than I expected after watching various videos while waiting for it to arrive. DSC08367 by Anthony Andrades, on Flickr
