Leon Bumper Removal & Cupra R Bumper Fitting Guide

[Fallen Angel]

I have created a page on my personal website purely for the removal of the mk1 Cupra front and rear bumpers, and the fitting of Cupra R bumpers
There are plenty of detailed pictures and a parts lists for the bits necessary for fitting the new bumpers

It also contains the steps for fitting a Forge Front Mounted Intercooler

Hope this helps, please leave comments at the bottom of the page, or if you have a query

My car now-

Everything ready to go, just need the goods resprayed & fitted!

Expensive stuff, but it's worth it.

Makes a hell of a difference from Cupra to Cupra R doesn't it, bigger prescence and nicer to look at, also easier to clean lol
I'm just waiting on my colour coded rubbing strips on the doors and the side skirts and it will pretty much look like one on the outside.
Having a Cupra R looky likey wasn't my aim, i just didn't want silly fibreglass kits on this car, unlike my previous, and the Cupra R bumpers are the best looking by far i reckon

Standard

Kitted, lowered and alloy'd up

Hey, Just asked my local garage for a quote on all parts and with a bit of luck might start this little project in a few weeks. are u gonna be getting some side skirts angel?

 

[Fallen Angel]

Ooo brill

Yes i reckon so, i did buy some fibreglass ones months back but i don't like them lol want some that are just plain and rounded, nothing fancy lol

 

[Smart22186]

So your not gonna get standard "R" ones then?

Does anyone know the part number for the caps on the slightly older Cupra bumper. The ones that are on the outer bumper skin that cover the bolts.

Thanks in advance.

The MY03 Cupra bumper ? (with the grilles in the bumper that match the ones under the bonnet)

1M6 807 449 B (left)
1M6 807 450 B

 

[bigfella_V5]

Also, does anyone know what this is?

1M6 853 915 B41 Cover

 

[TllEWL]

It's the S badge (+ honeycomb grille) I think

[bigfella_V5]

Surely it can't be as its only £3, weird!
