Fiesta went Friday so bought this at the weekend.
Mechanically sound, does have a few minor marks which ill get sorted at some point as they're nothing major considering it's 12 years old!
Alot more comfortable and better put together than the fiesta even though it was 6 years newer!
Loving it at the moment, drives effortlessly and is comfy as anything.
Has the usual V6 spec plus:
Heated leather recaros with armrest
R32 knob and aluminum trim
lowered shocks and springs
Light smoke tints
Induction kit (may take it off but love the noise, especially low down)
Plans:
Change haldex oil and filter this weekend.
Put my plate on once log book is back
wire up an aux unit to the standard radio so can play CD's and mp3 players etc
Get some 17/18's - A must!
Bora sport clocks
Maybe an exhaust
Maybe a black grill to break the front up a bit.
Oh and to keep it longer than a few months
Going to plug it into Vag-com as well and activate anti hi-jack and alarm chirp.
Couple of pics from the ad will get better ones once it has decent wheels on it.

You scared me tbf
Aleex - Bora/R32 vents may go on the list if i find some at a decent price, do prefer the look of them! Loved the black headlining in my old anni, but don't know if i can be bothered ripping it all out and dying it etc
Rich - My plate is going on so that should deter me a little bit from changing too soon

How much did you pay Fro? I've been looking at these and they are fairly cheap for what they are. How many miles does it have as well?

Nice, my mate loved his.
Ben - the LCR doesn't come with leathers, only the cupra model.

I did Jake
This feels very different to the 1.8t's, still a heavy car but carries it through the corners well and the amount of grip is
Decided Leather Recaros were a must if i was to get another Mk4 love them
