It was done whilst in the garage for an accident and paid for by insuance so couldn't say, I just had to pay +/- £100 for the difference in parts that mine would have cost.

All the grills ?

Thats a very good price. Fogs are just under a tenner - the centre grill's about £45 IIRC and then you'd need the two by the lights (which are one piece, but not sure how much it is) and the S grill which is £17


Couple of bumper guides, and you're done - bar the foglights (£180??) :confused:


...and wheel arches if you want to do it properly, but the existing ones can be trimmed to suit

Youmight need guide profiles, although i'm sure that the part numbers i used for LCR guide profiles are the same as the ones used for the MY03 bumper, so maybe not...

Is the bumper a replica from ebay, or SEAT original?

Ooops Wrong thread

no you were right - the plates not legal anyway, so the size doesn't bother me too much. I don't seem to get any grief for it though (touch wood) and i've had it nearly 3 years now and been pulled for various other things without the plate being mentioned. one copper even said he liked it :clap:

Bumper guides are the same between my03 and LCR front bumper, the wing arch liner extensions are diffrent.

I didn't find them to be that different putting an LCR bumper on the Toledo :confused:

Granted, the arch liner doesn't touch the very bottom of the indent on the back of the bumper, and the radius is slightly different ... but I've done 1,200 miles now (and a light bump) :blush: and it's not fallen off



Does anyone know the part numbers for the black plastic mouldings that sit around/behind the foglights ? Not the grills, but the bits towards the back of the bumper (holds the temp sensor on the n/s)
