    Basically my brother is at last getting a new car uprgrading from a 1.4 saxo (mums old motor) to something a little more respectable and as he knows nothing about cars i will be buying it for him hence the vag group thinking:)

    So as the title says whats the difference between the seat ibiza cupra and the cupra R on a 51 plate i need your help.

    As far as i can tell its brembo brakes slightly different interior extra bhp in the 180 region? ive seen some vdo gauges in one as well but can tell if its standard or not? also how rare are these i cant find many decent non crash damaged cupras locally or nationally, let alone a cupra r

    also is there anything in particular to look for on these cars, known problems etc

    many thanks for your advice in advanced

    ^think thats about it

    i think they are quite rare, ive not seen many about/advertised

    i always believed they were LHD only too, but maybe wrong.

    dude...ive got a Cupra Ibiza.....

    Cupra Breaks, 180bhp (but the same ECU as the 156bhp) so they can both only be mapped to the same amount (approx 190bhp) The R has boost guages in it too......

    www.seatcupra.net/forums is where i hang out mostly, check out there!
