Where can I get hold of that thin black front bumper splitter a lot of people seem to have on their Cupra's? What is it actually from?

there are some floating around on ebay. i wondered what that added to the car but found a few pics somewhere, looks neat 
dealer - they are the leon cupra splitters - you have to trim them slightly to fit the bumper -
£15 - i think -

Will cost you £21.75 from your local Seat Dealer. They should stock them.
Ask for the Leon Cupra front splitter. You then just simpy need to cut the centre plastic moulds off, and trim the length once its on the car. Simple.
There's plentry of photos/comments on here if you do a search.

as above, just get it from seat dealer and ask for an LCR front splitter.
to fit is easy. but there are 2 main ways of doing it.
first way
1) cut half an inch of either end of the splitter
2) get a tape measure and measure to the centre of the front bumper and mark with a bit of insulation tape.
3) mark the middle of the LCR splitter with insulation tape.
4) measure where the two centre plastic moulds are on the splitter
5) cut away a section on the bottom of your bumper to allow the centre lugs to locate in the bumper
6) drill through the splitter and bumper making sure it is straight and where you want it.
7) bolt it on.
8) cut the remaining little bit at either end that is sticking out in to the wheel arch .
or the other way is to remove step 4 and 5 and just cut the lugs off.but to be honest i think it looks much better with them on,

Nice one Adam. I'll save the link to this post and take your advice. I like the splitter because it doesnt look too flash, just a subtle improvement. That along with some mud flaps should look pretty cool.
Yep, will do mate. I think ill take some pics tonight of it completely standard and post them later on.
Come next weekend I should have the following done:
Jabba Chip
Coilovers - lowered 40mm
Strut Brace
Rear Spacers - (What size should I get - Any tips where to get them?)
Standard wheels refurbished and srpayed anthracite.
Mud Flaps
Splitter
Body work mopped
Forge 007 DV
Thats it. Should look a bit diff!

LOL! Your catching me up and Ive had mine for over a year now
You keeping the standrad airbox & filter then?
Hahaha, im not farting about mate... Im only do all this because I had money left over as i expected to pay more for such a decent little motor.
I'll probably change the airbox and filter next month. I'm meeting up with Elton from Jabba on friday to get my ECU and ill have a chat with him about what box and filter to get.
Then i'll save up and copy your exhaust, because it looks decent.

If I had of bought a cupra instead of a cupra R I would of had some money to play with for mods. As it turned out I didnt, so I had to save for all my mods.
Still, im getting there and only because ive got my holiday coming up have I put the mods on hold for the time being.
I do love my exhuast, I went for a little blast last night through a tunnel
Pop, pop, pop![[B)]](/forums/styles/seatcupra/oldforumsmileys/shades.gif "Cool [B)]")
P.s - If you do go for my style exhaust make sure you take it to a good exhaust place to fit it. Its a pig to get the backbox to fit properly by the bumper. Im sure other Scorpion owners will back me up on this

I was wanting to do this years ago, but thought it was more effort than it was worth. May look at doing this now
Being a bit thick here, but what makes the exhaust pop. My scooby used to do it after i'd given it a good rag. I want a pop on my Cupra, stop talking about it! Hahaha...
Unburnt fuel passing through the exhaust system.
There is some science to it but, the simple answer is unburnt fuel

What exhaust do you have Dan?
Is it loud?
I shall be purchasing a new exhaust sometime soon...havent got a clue what to get at the moment, although i do like my mates full Miltek on his Cupra R.
There is a picture of it on this thread. Its a scorpion cat back system

Yes they are still attached, but very rarely used, if at all! Been under there for years!
Anyway, just been to the stealers and was quoted about £17 and pence + VAT for a LCR splitter
