Clio replacement......Candy white K1

[Gaz_]

Black, 100%

 

[dmallett]

Go black! Would look good IMO

 

[ChrisP_182]

lovely car mate, i personally think it would look good with black alloys

 

[Gally]

So so fresh on Silver wheels mate, but... it would look hard on Black. Personally Silver or Anthracite would be classy choice. Lovely cars.

Dolan's Cupra R was a special special car. Mental quick.

 

[Rhys Beal]

Thanks guys.

I really like the silver as it does look really fresh and "clean", however IMO it looks slightly out of place with the colour scheme being black and white. Hard decision that ATM I can't make

 

[StephenJ]

Mate of mine had a red Cupra R like this on black wheels, looked awesome! Do that.

 

[Pistachio]

Awesome looking car, but black wheels on a white car is a big no for me

 

[Coby.]

Keep them silver if they don't need a refurb, When they do that's the time to try black.

 

[Tim.]

This is a lovely car, Rhys, looked fantastic when you bought it and is getting better & better.

I can totally see where you're coming from on the wheels, and while I agree they look fresh in silver, for me they detract a little je ne sais quoi from the car.

I'm sure the folk on CS would PS your car on black, white and dark anthracite alloys. I think white could be interesting, but that might be too much of a white thing going on.

Whatever you do, no doubt the car will keep you thoroughly entertained all the way. Enjoy!

These are one of the few cars that can pull off the wheels in black.

Here's a picture of one on black wheels-

Thank you Tim, very nice to hear such warm words

Awesome car always liked the look of these.

How do they compare to a clio? Had a 2nd gear blast against one a while back when he didn't want me getting in front when filtering in from some lights 2 into a single lane road, it was pretty much match and match in that gear so was he just not trying or do these more come into their own above 2nd gear?

That looks absolutely superb that does! I wouldn't go black wheels I don't think, I believe it still looks smarter with the silver.

Each to their own though

They are definitely faster than the Clio's but not by too much until over 100mph where the extra torque helps. Raced a friends mk2 Focus RS the other day upto 130 ish and he pulled 2 car lengths.

 

[Martin.]

Black wheels for sure.

Love these cars!

 

[_Tom]

Is it mapped yet?

 

[Rhys Beal]

Not yet.
Will save up and get all the bits necessary to go and get it mapped straight to stage 2+ to hopefully give around 370bhp.
A friend has just bought a mk2 Focus RS and that will be going stage 4+ around the same sort of time. That should see around 420bhp.

How have I not seen this! Absolutely lovely Mr Beal.

I'm jealous. Wheels wise - I wouldn't go black, maybe anthracite. Or something unique.

Epic motor.

 

[SOHROB]

Lovely car, i always bang on about these engines however once mapped,fuel pumped,tbe,s3 intercooler and intake they are flying machines.

 

[Scrooge]

Matte anthracite!!!

 

[_Tom]

Can they run 370 on the standard turbo?

Go for crackle black standard wheels or as you say CH's..

 

[domsclio182]

Nice car mate, black wheels for me. Bring to a meet so we can have a little play.

There are a load of stage 2 cupra's/ed30/s3's running anywhere between 350 and 370 on the standard turbo and most are pretty reliable.

Bloody hell. I knew the standard turbo would take them well over 300 but 370..

Only worth a play with yours once its at stage 2+ Dom. As it sits standard they are not very impressive IMO but seriously smooth.

 

[gunnergibson]

Excellent choice...

I've just bought a 10 plate Cupra- no body kit for me, as it's the facelift version.. a bit bland at the moment, but have bought the cupra R rear end ( spoiler / diffuser).

The main reason I bought a Cupra is for the TFSI engine... responds well to minor modifications.... 360bhp from a filter, turboback fuel pump mod and a remap ( and it's 5 door)
