Welcome mate. What colour is it and do you mind me asking where you found it?
I have a Black Cupra and love it (when it isnt having problems)

The 16v is a wicked motor! And the Ibiza's are good fun to drive.

Camden GTI would be your best beat in NSW for servicing and spares.

I've got a few seat parts if you need anything, just parted a written-off one

It's a Red Cupra with all standard parts. First thing I need to fix is the A/C. Previous Owner advised it had stopped working a good 6 months ago. I don't know what it could be. Anyone know of any "honest" mechanics in Syd area?

The previous owner rarely drove the car and only serviced it once a year. It's done 117,000 kms on the clock. The steering wheel is also off centre. The car drive's straight however the steering wheel itself is on about 25 degrees to the right.

Interior has wear and tear. I was wanting to get some VR6 seats put in and get the whole interior fixed. If you guys know of any people that do a good job and don't charge through the roof that would be great.

Below is a pic of the new beast

I've got some pretty good cupra seats, no tears. One has very tiny hole but that's it really.

Was looking for VR6 seats. You have any other goodies?

Would the A/C compressor be ok in the car still?

Get a wheel alignment to fix the steering wheel.

Get new seats of Schalke04 and ring Camden GTi for a good service.

Got a lot of parts, pm me what you're after and I'll see if I can help.

I'll have a full VR6 cloth interior coming up for sale soon if you're interested in going that way.

Going to take the car down to Camden GTI.

Was quoted $600 for A/C compressor replacement. Does that sound about right?
