Title: My Cupra
Post by: CupraNigel on December 04, 2011, 10:03:01 am
I thought I would pop a few pictures of my car up and the spec so far.

Its an '08 Cupra and was completly standard and I was planning to keep it that way. However the modifications have started and it now has a stage 1 Blufin fitted and a Milltek cat back.

Mods to be done/have been done

Milltek Cat back
K&N Induction kit
Stage 2 Revo
HPFP - Ordered
De-cat
S3 Intercooler
Clutch
LSD (unsure which one to go for)
Lowering springs
Uprated ARB's
WALK
Short Shift
Uprated engine mounts
New disks / Pads
LED Sidelights and number plate bulbs

You might want to add Revo stage 2+ instead of just stage 2 as you will have all the right hardware  :wink:

THS mounts give very little vibration if any at all. I have the BSH side mounts and ths dog bone mount and theres a very little vibration when setting off but other than that you wouldnt notice. Just do your homework on them if you do bite the bullet and get some. THS are the closest to oem comfort though.
