Now she's all mine
I finally paid the last payment for my car today
http://personal.inet.fi/koti/miia.sa...arko/keula.jpg My first car was Mazda 323 1.1L -82 in 1990 Then I got -89 Seat Ibiza and after that VW Golf III -94. 2 years ago I bought VW Vento (Jetta in US) -97 and last summer I found this -99 1.8L Protege and I intend to keep it much more than 1 or 2 years |
congrats! :D
say, the front bumper of the Finnish Protege looks pretty nice, anyway I can find one and put that bad boy on my Protege? :D |
congratulations...now just think...you can funnel all that EXTRA cash into mods!!! lol
|
Congratulations, are there anymore things different with a stock where you are then one in Canada or the US. You seem to have side marker lights?stock?
|
Thank you folks
ZoomZoom, they sell second hand bumpers from crashed cars here for 80 USD but it might be expencive to get it there. Nuke, You know what's in my mind ;) Well, actually I still got a house to pay but what the heck, car first SedanMan, I think tail lights are different and we don't got roof racks. Those side markers are stock, the law says they gotta be there even though I now have clear ones. Here's another picture with winter tires. http://personal.inet.fi/koti/miia.sa...marko/Kir1.jpg |

Not to mention your car is a 2ND Gen and we have only seen the 3rd. and the black door/bumper guards as well..... |

Originally posted by ZoomZoomH eh, his car IS a 3RD GEN, just with the pre-2001 refresh front and taillights ('99 I believe he said). Under the skin it's a bona fide 3rd gen Protege :) |
Originally posted by Sir Nuke my mistake......what year did they change the front? headlights, hood..... ???? Facelift was done 2001 |
yup... the last payment for mine was made april this year... sure feels good to own that sucker :)
however, it's always cool to watch you us guys get all confused about the euro-spec 323-s/proteges... keep it up |

Originally posted by mnkyboy How did you like your SEAT? Isnt that car made in Spain? Ive seen some new pics of the hatchback, it looks VERY nice. I think its called the Leon Cupra R. |
Re: Re: Re: Now she's all mine
Originally posted by bougha Well the Seat I owned has nothing to do with Leon, except name Seat. Mine was Spanish but the newer ones like Leon are owned by VW but I think Leon is built up in Spain. Actually when I bought my Protege the other option was Seat Leon. And that Cupra R would really be nice (1.8turbo with 210hp) |
Re: Re: Re: Re: Now she's all mine
Originally posted by mnkyboy How much would a Seat Leon Cupra R cost in US dollars? Any idea how much it would cost to ship over here? I really like the looks of that car, but how reliable is SEAT? In Finland cars are expensive as hell, Pro5 with 2L engine is ~25000 USD and Cupra R is 46000 USD. There's also Cupra with 2.8L v6 (204hp) 4wd which is a litte cheaper that 1.8T, 45800 USD |
and here something for those who don't know what we are talkin' about
Leon Cupra it is quite beautiful but so are Mazda's |
