Cupra R Bodykit off ebay...

[brendanb1801]

I bought a cupra r bodykit off ebay about 4 months ago and still havent fitted it due to a crash and funds...

I am seriously starting to consider whether I have made the right move or not getting it off ebay?

Has anybody done this already? searched the forum but cant find anyone who has done this... maybe for good reason?!

What does everyone think about this?

Thanks

im prety sure theres loads of people that have done it from a standard leon search the site

 

[brendanb1801]

yeh i had a search but cant find anyone who has bought the kit of ebay and fitted it...

 

[JamesL]

is it a replica kit then? I've read the fitment isnt great but you never know you might be lucky. If its genuine then you should be fine

 

[jamie paton]

check out a member called copra or something similar, he fitted one to a copper leon cupra without any bother and it looked the b***ocks

 

[brendanb1801]

JamesL, yeh it is a replica kit. Told by the person who sold it to me it will be fine and know someone who will fit it and spray the whole car white for £1500 and he works in an accident repair centre so has the stuff to make it fit.

£1500 for a whole car respray sounds very cheap to me..... and that's without fitting the kit as well...

If you get it for that price, and it's a good job, can I get their number ??

 

[brendanb1801]

pabs, that is £1500 to fit the kit and the respray! mates rates! i will have to ask him if he wants anymore business as he does it when he is meant to be working! dont wana get him in trouble!

 

[Pabs]

lol tis ok - i don't have my new car yet anyway.... so don't need a respray (yet)

If you do get it done - i DO want to see pics of a white Leon! I think they look lovely.

 

[brendanb1801]

yeh got the idea from the new leons... cant wait to get it in the bodyshop. just gettin all the bits together so it all goes smoothly.

Just contemplating whether to stick with the fibreglass replica kit I have, or buy used genuine parts...

 

[jamie paton]

the fibre glass looks fine mate. but its your money.

 

[RickC]

take it on and off a few times and you will wish you bought the real thing.

 

[brendanb1801]

yeh true. i am gonna go with the fibreglass. worth a risk in my eyes. Im only new to all this so I am sure I will learn valuable lessons along the way...

RickC, I bought the headlights you have on your car, what bulbs have you got fitted?

i have reverted back to standard now but i used phillips blue vision, cost the earth and looked ok, the standard bulbs that come with my ultra lights that are blue and shine white are the best i think, they give a white light.

have you got genuine ultras or ebay jobbies,

 

[brendanb1801]

they are ultra ones. i will give the standard bulbs a go. thanks mate. love the car btw!

 

[Ninja]

i too would like to see pics after the respray!!

 

[Romeoisgraham]

Im after a front cupra -R bonnet if anyone sees one!!!

 

[brendanb1801]

RickC, did a search but cant find it anywhere. love how you have smoothed the rear doors. how did you go about doin this? Is it as simple as smoothing them and placing a button in the dash to open them?

anyone else done this?
