Clio replacement......Candy white K1

[Rhys Beal]

So after just over 2 years with my 182 (currently for sale) I decided I would like a candy white Cupra K1. Finding a good one was arduous but weeks of looking was paid off to find this one.
1 previous owner
Full main dealer service history with the cambelt and water pump just been replaced along with the oil and filter.
Standard in every way
31051 miles when I picked it up

Rubbish pictures. I have ordered some H&R springs to correct the 4x4 stance so will fit them next week and pop some pics up.

Nice Rhys, you do know they're popular with carjackers don't you? Same woman has been done twice near Brum. Shouldn't have replaced the first one with the same I guess.

 

[alexr19]

This looks lovely. I like these a lot so I'm looking foreword to seeing how you get on

 

[Rhys Beal]

Thanks chaps and thanks for the heads up Adam. It is garaged throughout the day and night so hopefully it stays with me!

 

[ThomasBrentnall]

Looks well that does! What's the interior like?

 

[Paprika123]

Looks very clean mate. Not often you see them with silver wheels either!

 

[Bluebeard]

That looks bloody lovely, great purchase.

 

[Poopensharten]

Very nice. Seriously quick motors.

 

[imprezaworks]

Want

 

[Crybert]

Lovely. 300bhp yes? Think they are really cool. Definitely in the same league as the FRS

 

[Rhys Beal]

I think the interior is a very half arsed effort. Very bland and cheap plastics. However, I knew this when I was looking because for me it was between a Golf Edition 30 or a K1 both in candy white. The Golf had the nice interior but a slightly bland exterior and the K1 the opposite. I am however very happy with it and have clocked up a fair few miles in it already.
Silver wheels are rare but do they look better black? They have just been refurb'd so are mint currently

Will run stage 1 Revo towards xmas time and for an everyday car ~310bhp will be fine

 

[ThomasBrentnall]

Silver looks really good and fresh, miles better than black. I would have chose this over an ed30 as well. (I won't be in that position for a while haha)

Wow, so jealous always been a massive fan of Leon Cupra's the K1 in particular.

Ive owned 4 cars and 3 of them have been Renaults except this little 1.6 replica I had a few years:

I was really surprised to see only a very small handful of K1's at edition 38 today. Makes me glad it's a little more exclusive

Thanks for the kind comments chaps

 

[JonnyBCK]

awesome car bud i own one aswell and love it, just had mine fitted with revo stage 1 Eibachs and have a Tripple R splitter waiting to go on. i have the black wheels and have a gloss black roof aswell heres a quick pic

 

[Rob]

Don't go and sodomise it with black wheels, it looks bloody superb as it is. I love these, cracking choice.

 

[JaredHasNoBrain]

Nice Clio haha
They're stunning cars fair play, my mate is in the middle of buying one now actually lol

 

[The Russian.]

The 18 year old lad I bought my clio of bought one of these, look awesome in the flesh.

Really great buy there mate.

 

[r900smp]

The old man owns a Leon Cupra R... Will be mine in a years time when he decides what he wants to replace it. So so much pace.

 

[Dan...]

I love these!

 

[daydotz]

Smart

 

[jesus]

Awesome! Can't wait to see it on springs.

 

[Silent_Scone]

Properly nice. So quick these, they run ridiculous boost don't they?

 

[RDH]

Love the look of these, although it 100% needs black wheels.

 

[iOllieSM]

Looks really fresh on the silver wheels, look forward to seeing it lowered! Nice car mate

 

[dmallett]

Love it Rhys! Take it you arent planning on doing woodbridge in this saturday?

 

[Matt W]

That looks so much better with silver wheels.

 

[Rhys Beal]

Love it Rhys! Take it you arent planning on doing woodbridge in this saturday?

Cheers Dan and noooo way! The closest it will ever get to a track is the car park.

Thanks for all the other kind comments guys, chuffed

 

[George@RTR_Parts]

Looks great this Rhys, a subtle drop like you've planned and just enjoy it

 

[cf9788]

Great cars! great engine!

 

[dmallett]

Managed to lower it yet?

 

[Kyle 86]

I love these cars

 

[Rhys Beal]

They're on!
Sits much better IMO, really happy. Just waiting for my H&R spacers and triple-r splitter to arrive now

Fapping awesome mate!!

 

[Coby.]

Lovely motor.

 

[Rhys Beal]

Cheers guys.
Start of November will see a very trick looking exhaust being made. Turbo back and fully purge TIG welded

 

[Scrooge]

Needs anti lag

 

[Rhys Beal]

Haha!
Christmas time will see it to revo stage 1 for now and possibly onto stage 2+ give time but will see how 310bhp feels first

 

[Rhys Beal]

Got my 12mm H&R spacers on and the Triple-R splitter.
Now wondering whether it would look better with the black wheels...The splitter adds even more black to an already black and white colour scheme.
Thoughts people?
