Help Required with Bumper

[afcajax73]

hey all... dont know if anyone can help me, i did a search but couldnt really find what im after...

i wanted to fit my facelift bumper today (03 bumper onto 02 car) however im reading now.. i might need some "wheel covers" what i dont have a clue what these are.. and also.. the "guides" at the top of the bumper.. will i need new ones? or can i use the ones off the bumper i have now?

thanks all !!

Not a Seat owner personally (yet) but having done similar conversions on other VAG cars, the wheel covers will be referring to the 'wheel arch liners' I.E the plastic covers that protect the underside of your wings and inner wings from the elements.

You may need new/different guide clips, hopefully someone more knowledgeable on that subject will answer your question.

well then in that case.. im in something that begins with S and ends in HIT..the bumper is on my bed in my bedroom.. got literally nowhere to put it where it wont get scratched etc.. other than on the car.. and SEAT are terrible for customer service or help.. everything i order takes about two weeks to arrive.

The only thing you can do is try it mate, you may find the guide clips are the same and in the same location.

You can always fit the wheel arch liner covers later at your convenience. Don't leave it too long however as the gritters will be out before too long no doubt...

For parts ordering, try using Awesome or Andy (ex awesome, he's in Stoke) at PSI Tuning, they usually have more clout with the dealers and can chase things up on your behalf...

agreed it sounds like the wheel arch liner bits you need.
the bumper is a different shape so the arch need bits that extend the arch liner to the inside edge of the bumper.

LOOK AT POST 10 ON THIS THREAD: (arch liners).

however note that is the cupr R bumper not the facelift cupra bumper. this means the parts may differ.

alright mate... i did the same as you with a facelift bumper... all i needed was the guides as they are diff to orig bumper yuo have got... and i also got the wheel arch extensions but not the wheel arch liner..they are not needed.
hope it all goes well

 

[afcajax73]

have you got any part numbers for them mate? i read somewhere that they were a few quid each for the extensions but down my local dealers the guy reckons theyre 28 quid each.. im sure hes selling me a whole inner arch

 

[Seat til I die]

i need inner wheel arch covers too...
any ideas where my best bet is and how much to expect to pay? none in the local scrappies or on ebay as far as i can see...

also do any other cars inner arch covers fit my lcr?? cheers

 

[afcajax73]

i just ordered some from the dealers mate.. 20 quid per side.. didnt want to.. but its 40 quid at end of the day with no hassle.. and my arches are a state anyway.. so.. there we go! lol

 

[Seat til I die]

ok fair enough, seems reasonable, thanks afca

 

[afcajax73]

here you go mate..
wheel arch extensions 1M6807479 (left) 1M6807480 (right) but do check just to make sure.
god knows why you need wheel arch covers as well? i didn't.
you may also need 1M0807049E 1M0807050E these are the guides for the side of the bumper, but you may already have these attached the bumper.
