SEAT UK are considering a dealer fitted power upgrade to 300 bhp and LSD to compete against the new Focus RS and to comply with the Dunlop Sport Maxx Cup modifications. No mention of when or how much though !

Finally cottoning on...

How many Minis have been through JCW with a full factory warranty, how many of us would do the same with a Golf/Leon/S3 etc..

My old Ford dealer did Wolf options on the ST, you could have upto 360 bhp from your Ford dealer if you had the cash

This is becoming quite common. Fiat will upgrade your 500 and Punto Arbaths to the Esse-Esse spec, and Ford offers some Mountouneononeone (read: Roush) parts for your Fiesta ST. Makes sense for Seat to start offering this as they're being positioned as the sporty yoof brand of the all-power VW group.

Definatly the dealers are understanding what they are missing out on !

Ford and Vauxhall were the first to realise this a year ago, now Mercedes and BMW have started, i think it great if the VAG brand start it too !   :happy2:

Quite a few SEAT dealers use to offer upgrades to the mk1 leon Cupra R back in the day as well as upgrades to tsome of the TDIs
Most the Vauxhall ones were on the 1.9 diesels which of cause were fiat engines.
Also back in the early 80s VW use to offer an oettinger 16V conversion for the mk1 GTIs.   :evilgrin:

In todays climate Its a good way for the manufacturers to get round CO2 emissions  :smiley:

BR Motorsport were official SEAT tuners back in the mid nineties for a while.
GTI Engineering were sort of semi official tuners to VW and Audi back in the 80s (spot the connection!)
