No worries mate , got the carbon transferred splitter and diffuser but would need oem parts to put back on
Forgot the 35 is tfsi  :surprised:
Yeah the 35 is a bit of a dinosaur in the engine department now!
Only downside to the mk6 i was waiting for the timing chain to slip every time i started it !! Sounds stupid but thats one of the reasons im changing out of warrentee in june , only fault i can say though mk6 is a great car

How much has the 2.0 ko4 lump changed? All I know is they don't require HPFP for good power & they are more prone to oil starvation?

The lump in the ed35 is just a regular CDL ko4, the mk7 2.0 is quite different to the TFSi based motors from what I've read and iirc the range now uses IHI turbos like the TSi motor in the mk6 did, not sure what turbo the mk7 R/s3/Cupra engines use though?

That's the only reason I didn't go for a regular mk6 gti instead of the 35, quite fancied the better economy and low down torque of the tsi motor but didn't want to risk the timing chain issues!

I think the GTI looks a lot better than the R (same with the mk6)... whilst I appreciate one of the joys of having a fast golf is keeping it understated, makes no sense to me that the R is so bland in comparison. I'd still love an R though, but it's not like you've made a bad choice - enjoy!

The leon inside is a massive improvement over the old one feels same as mk 7 gti with better seats , basically you get golf R performance with a gti chassis and you keep a few £ k in your pocket !!!

My cousin has a 1.8tsi FR and the interior and equipment in that is fantastic for the price, led headlights are ace btw! The Cupra deserves to sell by the boat load imo!

Update , drove the 5 door leon cupra 280 today ..... Its brilliant , its got golf r power in a tighter version of the golf gti with performance pack ! It just feels more special than the gti more driver focused
Ive made excuses and got my vw deposit back
Seat offered me more for my golf than vw did with out seeing it !! Seat staff are real people compared to vw morons !!

I was going to post well done but you have changed your mind,my workmate drives a cupra and he harps on and on and on about how good the new ones are all the time,I guess I need to start listening to him.
