rsvr cupra r 225
so i sold the fabia after a whole 3 months of ownership :oops: and set about looking for another hot hatch . i had a few options open to me cupra r ep3 but after a bit of asking around i was tipped off about this little puppy , after looking at mark loudens photos and talking to barry i knew it was worth a look . had 7 172/182,s but never had a 197 . partly because they have always been out of my budget . this one came up at the right time even tho it wasnt actually for sale YET . the mods arent massive but the effect they give the car to me a brilliant look . eibach spacers and decent coilovers , brand new goodyear eagle f1 all round make the car look fat as feck . it really does stik to the road brilliantly .also the clio sport splitter helps set it off, only 47k miles too which attracted me also as i couldnt afford a low miled premier ep3 , plus there is def less of these about and its a cup

some pics after a wash when i got it home

car is 90% just to sort the odd stone chip out and fit the brand new brembo disks and pads all round which barry had already bought and kindly gave me with the car

thanks to all for helping me with the decision and to damian for coming with me to collect it , thanks also to 106lad and alan_c

Lovely! The spoiler is so much nicer than the Renaultsport one aswell. Spacers and coils look the biz.

Enjoy, for a few months anyway ;)

nice one Nigel. How do you find it compared to EP3's? :grinning:

hmmm bit nicer inside would be hard to choose between them . the red was a big win for me nice to have something that shines when its clean

Very, very smart mate! Pity you hadn't bought one a while ago instead of wasting time on so much of that Jap scrap :p.
