    and also through some researching it appears the japanese cup edition is still 150hp, not 180 like the european ones :'(
    What's the engine code? Is it BJX?

    Yup

    Seems like my brakes are the standard size also

    The japanese press release I found only mentioned the kit, the wheels and the fact there is 200 of them - 50 red and 150 black. Lol.

    Not got BBU engine, small brakes. I am thinking there's a down spec car for Japan or its a normal GTI with a body kit.

    I actually found the VW press release for the Japanese cup edition. It doesn't mention anything about bigger brakes or more hp like the European press release. So it is a genuine Japanese market cup edition (has the serial on the steering wheel).

    Just sucks to find out now that the Japanese cup edition is different from the European one!

    Also the Japanese cup edition is 5 door only whereas the European is 3 door only

    Still a good looking car!
    Also is a limited edition, which makes it desirable over the normal vehicle.

    I'd be keen to see if the bumpers are available, would really like to get a set of those.
