My Clean Cup

[Matt Cup]

I've not posted any pics of my Cup so I though as it's been washed it'd be rude not to

Waiting for a Yozza System to replace the rusty crap I've got on at the moment then some other mods will be sorted in due course.

Matt.

looking good chap!

used to hate mine when it looked that high, coilovers came soon after!

 

[Matt Cup]

Cheers, I'm not a big fan of the 4x4 look it's got myself but I can't afford decent coilovers yet and I'm not sure if I want to go down the springs route?

 

[st3ve]

Definitely save for coilovers....proper ones.

Just as ragnotti intended

They handle well as standard, some sprortline springs would re-address the way cups always settle rear down, so it will have a nose down/forward rake (good for oversteer)

I'm still toying with a koni sportline set up tbh!

 

[Impey]

nice and shiny mate

 

[VIICarCare]

aww, lovely & cleeean

Agreed on coilovers. I also need a new exhaust system. And im so pissed that mine didnt come with a splitter when i bought it

In the pipeline for the future.

Did Ragnotti have some sort of influence over the Cup? (Newb Question I know )

You've got a point also, still not sure with springs/shock replacements though, I am impressed with the initial handling, perhaps a rear anti roll bar will make an improvement too? I take it you wouldn't bother with coilovers?

Thanks guys.

Yeah saw your thread, get a splitter ASAP! Don't bother with the skoda jobbie get the OEM one.

Note the lack of rear wiper on the French edition......!

I have bilsteins on mine, and they are great, but sometimes in my pothole/broken surfaced local roads they can become too much sometimes. The stock setup just 'floats' over these! If i were you get some eibach sportline springs short term, it removes the massive arch gap at the front!

This was mine on them,

 

[Matt Cup]

Nice little read that thanks!

And ta for the advice still not 100% buying springs, feeling it's a bit of a false economy unless some become available cheaply, but it has been taken on board

 

[Leeshez]

Mighty fine example.

 

[Matt Cup]

Cheers
