LCR honeycomb bumper

[POWELLY]

Hey up gents,can anyone help????
Does anyone have any pics or any info on where i can buy the honeycomb sytle inserts for the 3 upper sections for my LCR SO THEY MATCH THE BOTTOM SECTION, i`ve seen a pic of one and it looked well ,and has anyone done it and/or know if its difficult??

 

[the_prophet]

you can't buy them, think they are a DIY only thing.

you tried searchin i'm sure there was a post on here a while back...

 

[andycupra]

yep, they are not available as any you have seen have been modified bits from the cupra. which dont quite fit correctly.

 

[Feel]

I'm fairly sure the outer two are the same* on the Cupra and the Cupra R, it's just the centre that's different.

*Same as in they'll fit, obviously different as the LCR's are slatted.

 

[POWELLY]

Thanks ,i can stop searchin the net for them now been lookin for a while now

Yep as above, its only a custom made thing, i did it on my car, most likely the picture you saw was mine... Do a search for it your find all the info on here!

Ahhh, I've got them on mine as standard

Thats because you have a Cupra and not a Cupra R? Cupra R never had honeycomb uppers grills, unless they retro fitted them afterwards..

Yip!
They're fitted to the facelift bumper rather than seperates.
Although I'm a fan of the of the grill type

are the top grills on the cupra r not the same as the cupra?

The top grills in shape are all the same... its the pattern that fills the space that is different... e.g. Honeycombed or slats...

The main problem thou is, its not unbolt the bumper, remove the upper grill and replace with different one, as Seat plastic weld the grill mould into the bumper and trying to remove it, damages the bumper more than anything else...

So to retro fit them, you need a dremmel some liquid plastic weld and a day sitting infront of the bumper....

You offering services for a price?

You have to be with the bumper to do it, and well Scotland is a wee way away from Essex... lol

Its not that hard, just patience and abit skill...

But most give up as soon as it means more than changing a couple of bolts... lol

Centre is smaller on LCR due to small intake under centre grill..........inferior Cupra's don;t have this intake

 

[dan__smith]

inferior Cupra's don;t have this intake

Whats that supposed to mean?!

 

[andycupra]

it means if you cut a small hole in your front bumper you will increase your bhp to 210-225!
im surprised its not a more popular mod
