Looks wicked, I love the MK3 Cupras!

I can't believe how many regulars on here have or are going to be selling up and moving on!

Nice, I'm moving on to something faster soon too, although I'm not in any great hurry, just looking for the right car!

At 250 bhp, the engine is pretty much at the max output of the K03S, with all bolt-ons already added.

Looks like it is very well sorted, what is your insurance like with all those modifications declared :? .

Enjoy the car.

That is so sweet mate, i saw you posted it on clubpolo.

I've got to admit, I'm going for one of these in the new year after I found out the insurance would be a hell of a lot cheaper than the brand spanker fabia...(much quicker too)

And for the price, It's great to have that sweet engine! :wink:
