get a hacksaw and chop in to it! smooth it off with some sand paper and job done!

that's what the garage did to mine when i got my exhaust fitted. looks fine.

(although i had nothing to lose as my back bumper had started to melt *** the rat that had the car before me had the exhaust moved back too close to the plastic!)

Was hoping i could chnage the plastic for the cupra one to its no messing about

if you mean the plastic bit at the bottom of the bumper that runs the full lengh of it , then it cant be changed you will need to buy a cupra rear bumper to get a neat job

The Seat Sport back box with 6" x 4" oval tail pipe for the Cupra, 20V & TDi models (part number 1M0072002) comes with the plastic trim required to finish the cut out.

Speak to your local dealer and ask if they'll sell the trim separately... it's not the large black trim like on the LCR, it's a small piece of trim that simply screws in place & covers the bit you cut out.

No problems

I initially did but then would need the front as well and it gets expensive, and skint aat the mo.

Plus given the average time i keep a car is about 6months, doesnt make it worth while
