If it was my choose the badge wasn't there, it already came fixed on it, i can't take it of because it's stuck.

Before you could choose with or without the badge, now they're all with the badge.

I choose the cupra front because it looks better than the normal, and the difference between the prices of the normal and the cupra was minimal.

I don't like rice things, and I don't consider this a rice thing. Only people that know's notice the difference, normal people think's that is the same.

I think that with the cupra front, looks more discret.

Koni Sport Kit + H&R springs -40mm on the way

Probably will be mounted on the car in one or two weeks.

Next will be the upgrade of braking.

Actual brake disc size is 256mm and the one i'm going to place is 280mm from the tdi110/cupra version.

Cupra R has 312mm Brembo Brakes

I know a lot of people complaining about their Seat, and telling it was the last time they bought a Seat...
The seat Ibiza is built on the the chassis of the Polo, not the Golf.

I only hear positive things about Seat, they sell like hotcakes too over here. Anyway, car looks nice!
