I read it as "no cupra r's were 210 or 225" LOL.Grammar is not coming across, needs a comma after "no" if I'm being pedantic about it. ________________________________________ Black 306 GTi-6 175.8BHP SCA Norwich ProjectTopaz Blue 205 CTI  |

Not correct at all Cupra R as per Parkers Production 1 Sep 2002 -1 Aug 2003 210bhp Production 1 Oct 2003 -30 Sep 2005 225bhp So he is correct then  Technically you're all wrong, the mk2's rolled out with 222bhp as standard but got rounded up to 225 cos it sounded better  When it comes to 'paying for the mods', the hybrid turbo is circa 1k and the intercooler not far behind it. With all the hoses, pipes, exhaust etc, you're probably looking at another £1500 of bits, so price-wise i'd suggest its bang on the money  True, if we are getting that technical then the 210 refers to PS and is actually 212BHP. Granted the mods are expensive but you don't get that back when selling a car so can't charge a huge premium but i was probably a bit harsh on the value of the mods to that one. I still think it is overpriced for the colour, anyother LCR colour and i would agree.  Handbags  Agree with the colour, far too garish for my liking. Personally, if the works been carried out professionally and it was they say it is, then i'd not have a problem paying purely as some expensive groundwork has already been done, another couple of thousands and itll be stage 3 and 400+ ponies.  IndeedYeah, if the work has been done well it is probably worth it, i am like you Onvi is not my taste . I noticed he doesn't appear to have done anything to the breaks. I would want at least some DS2500 for that spec of engine. I used to get serious brake fade with standard power and brakes if pushing on. |

nashy wrote: I'd be suprised if its not above 285 due to the hybrid turbo, mines running 279 on the standard turbo, remamp, catback, forge dump vavle and k&n indo kit. Had mine 4 years and it that time its basically been bullet proof, one coil pack in 55k of driving. As pointed out, the yellows can peel their laquer off and go very dull very quick, but that does look pretty mint from the pics. I had a small issue with the rear door seal leaking, but its a cheap fix. I'd snap the guys hand off for a swap deal that sounds good 279bhp with the standard coolers? i will be having to take the fmic off!! jimmer wrote: i agree with the over price bit, i have had loads of offers / exchanges etc if i had the money in my pocket then yellow wouldn't be the colour i choose but i do like it!!I sold mine back in may after owning it for 3 years. They are really good cars, fast and reliable. The one you have been offered is massively overpriced in my opinion. Mine was an 03 plate like that one, completely standard with full service history and less miles and i sold it for £3,800. It was black also which is a very "desired" colour. Granted that one is modified but i think the "market" price for an Onvi yellow one standard would be £3,500-£3,800, as mentioned above Onvi yellow fades like a b*tch and looks awful generelly. Therefore you are paying £1200-1300 for the mods which i think is way too much unless you can varify they were carried out by a reputable place etc. I guess if you are taking it as a straight swap you need to know what you would get cash for yours and be happy that you are getting a good deal.

I would say if you are not planning to shift it on for a while and you are going to get it wrapped a different colour (have to say i have wanted a satin black or satin grey car for ages too) then as long as you are happy the mods have been done properly etc i would probably go for it. They are great cars. |

I looked at these recently and thought the interior seriously let them down, in the end i went with a toledo V5 which has leather/alcantara interior, climate control, sat nav as standard. I also prefer the rear end of the toledo as i think the leon just looks like they cut the boot off a toledo! ________________________________________ suck my plums! |

Just because i have mentioned its fast doesnt mean it has been thrashed everyday of its life and not looked after Its been looked after in the time he has owned it, the guy before spent a fortune on the mods and has receipts of nearly 4k for the bits he did to it, my mate had a reputable garage fit the hybrid turbo, its been done to a good standard. ________________________________________ Dimma + Gt35 turbo =Solid rear beam mounts £130 07889376885 Dan |
