GTI Performance or Cupra

[Exonian]

Happy to put some pics up if someone wants to give me a few pointers how? Stretched it's legs a bit today, definitely quite brisk but I'm still learning the intricacies of the DSG. I'm surprised how good it is for comfort, easily as good as the Golf but my Golf didn't have DCC

I just got a cupra 290 for my daily and it’s mint. Had to travel to get he car but was worth it as it’s super low miles and was immaculate condition

Surprising how different it feels to a GTI. The wife’s GTI 7.5 is a better every day car and a nicer place to be but the cupra is definitely more fun

So far I’ve fitted the audi jack pads, golf GTE undertrays, black seat badges, VAGSport resonator delete, golf mist washer jets, Racingline panel fileter and turbo elbow, clutch delay valve delete and got the OEM side skirts painted and ready to fit. Also have Racingline springs ready to go on.

The cars been polished and sealed and wheels sealed etc and underneath cleaned etc.

I’m going to fit clubsport S discs and pads and maybe look at a Rieger splitter and diffuser cos the front and back are missing something. I’ll also fit PS4 tyres when they’re due thought the OEM continentals are a damn sight better than the Pirelli’s in the wife’s GTI






















find e85 gas station near me

How do the Seat headlights compare to the VW ones? I notice that the Leon doesn't have washers, which suggests their output is below the 2000 lumens, above which they are required.

Not messing around with getting some mods done!

The headlights on out 7.5 GTI are excellent but Can’t say I notice the Leon ones being a problem they’re pretty good

Yeah I like the OEM mods. Might put a clubsport S rear sway bar on too

Just fitted the side skirts today







Springs tomorrow maybe... was a shame to take it off the stands!

Looks well, I like the wheels. Although a PITA to clean I imagine! 

[mkviken]

Yeah they are a bit!

Cupra looks great, love those skirts

@mkviken; the Curpa looks good - I’ve always been a fan of the current Leon’s styling.

Keep a close watch on the white trim on the seat bolsters - quite a few owners over on seatcupra.net have had issues with this trim cracking and splitting, and Seat seem to apply a very inconsistent approach to repairing or replacing the damaged seat covers. Link to thread over on seatcupra.net;
