Wayne's Platinum Grey Cupra R Project Thread (Refurnished Brembos P11)

Hi all, decided to make a project thread about my jounrney so far with my Cupra R 225.
I had been after a Cupra R for well over year. My mate spotted one for sale at my local VW Dealership, a platinum grey Cupra R with 27,000 miles on the clock and a very fair price. After test driving the car I fell in love with it, it was everything I expected... and more!
After being offered a cracking deal on the car and a very generous part exchange figure for my Saxo VTR I bought the car,here the advertisement!

SCN has been a major insperation for most of mods, along with my best mate George who suggested a few mods aswell as helping me fit some of them! Unfortunatley, I've been bitten by the modding bug and finding it hard to resist

My mods so far:

Interior:
Scan Gauge II
All LED Interior Bulbs,inc Boot
SCN Sticker

Exterior:
CTR Aerial
8K Xenon Headlights
LED 9 Tower Sidelights
Aero Wipers
Fabia Rear Wiper
Wind Deflectors

Engine:
Bonnet Insulation Removed
Green Cotton Panel Air Filter
Forge 007p DV

Here's the pictures of how she looks now!

Seeing as you'v already got the panel filter I'd mod the airbox next.

Thanks bud,
What sort of difference does this make the the cars performance?

You wont get loads of extra BHP from any induction kit, but it will make it feel more responsive and with the 3" feed pipe you will get a bit more noise and if your feeling brave then drilling some hole's will make evfen more noise.
