My MK3 Cupra R

neale · Post by **neale** » Thu Jun 19, 2008 7:06 pm

After owning my silver Polo Gti for just over a year i took the decision last November to sell up

Old Gti :-

And after a short flight from Aberdeen to Birmingham i went and viewed this wee beauty.....and after 2hrs i was the proud owner of this :-

Mods so far :-

Revo Stage1
Forge FMIC
Forge 007
Forge open cone filter
Milltek cat back system
FK coilovers
6000k HID's
G60 flywheel,vr6 clutch setup
Cupra R oz's refurbed in anthracite
Leon Cupra R splitter
Nomad piller with Phantom 2 boost gauge

Mods to follow

K03s
Chrome engine bay
Possible re-spray

I have had no major problems in the 7mths of owning her...the only thing thats went wrong is that i had to replace the maf sensor a month or so ago and replaced the clutch/flywheel as the standard 1 started slipping

Opinions welcome

Lovely cupra mate

Wanted an R myself but after finding mine going for an absolute steal I couldn't turn it down!!!

Originally i had my heart set on an imp blue cupra but the 1 i was calling up bout the owner never answered my calls....so after buying the R i joined up to SCN and it was there that i realised that shantybeater a fellow member of uk-polos had bought the cupra i had my heart set on!

I loved my Cupra R, had red 51 plate which i still see and am now friends with the lad who bought it off me, it will be at international in the show and shine on sunday. I was also out for an imperial blue one but found this one at seat in leeds near the airport, was working for Porsche at the time and it was part of the group i was working for. didn't ever expect to get an R because of how rare they are.

do like the yellow over the antracite wheels and it sits spot on.

a very rare car indeed, i think only 75 were brought into the uk by Seat (something like that)

very nice example aswell

Thanks for all the comments guys...yep there was officially 75 R's came to the uk and th majotity were Onvi yellow iv recently heard there is only around 50 left due to write offs etc

Just wish Seat had spent more time on the Ovni yellow paintwork as it fades so much....and no matter how often you polish it its still noticable....so possibly looking into gettn her resprayed at sum point

250 right hand drive ones where made world wide and yes only 75 made it to this country. when they where handed over brand new the owner should have got an individual key ring with a number on denoting its own number out of the 250 but i never had one

Aye thats correct they all came with individual numbers on the keyfob from the factory unfortunatly mine aint got 1 either....and i dont think there is any other way to find out wat number it is
