[cupra.rich]

i have read lots of threads about people wanting to get them but has anybody bought one from there?? if so what is the quality/ fit like?
i dont want to start a thread on dont touch them, they will break etc so if anybody has actually bought one then please tell me what they are like.

i havent got one but are they not fibreglass?

 

[cupra.rich]

yeh most of the ones ive seen are fibreglass!

 

[james walker]

they are likely to crack as oppose to oem ones, due to less flex in the material, they also wont include, grills, fogs or arch extensions runners to fit.......

youre choice though as youve asked for no negatives

the ones you wana avoid are fibreglass 1's like cupra.rich said i'v just bought a cupra r one or so to say the fr+ one (genuine one)

stick with the genuine one if you can you will save alot of hassle later

If they fit and look ok when painted with a good finish then even being fibreglass i know im not intending crashing my car so if worst does happen whatever bumper you have is going to be knackered or in need of repair anyways, yes i see what people say but it will crack and smash up but ... Worth a go, its only going to take one person to get one and say there good and everyone will be buying them lol email the seller ask for a good deal as a advertising attempt get one cheap give a honest review fitting, quality, shipping, communication with seller etc... worth a try.

itll crack easy when you hit/clip anything mate dur to being less flexible, i.e ducks, ants and fresh air.

then factor in the costs of all other parts needed and youll be near oem price anyway

well said chap i totally agree with him fibreglass are totally s@@t aint even worth the money spending.
My advice to you will be mate just hand out keep lookinh on ebay will come up eventually, but they go like hot cakes when they are around

sorry dont mean to hi jack but is there any where else to get a genuine one other than ebay, also the ectra guides needed aswell

 

[james walker]

dealers, forum members from here, post a wanted mate you never know...

maybe a scrappys will have on in somewhere

 

[cupra.rich]

so it looks like not one single person has bought one! lol maybe because they're s*ite or maybe because no one has the balls/spare cash to buy one to try. its true though, after buying all the grills and fogs etc i may aswell buy a oem bumper (anybody got one??)
how much is one from a stealer with all the bits with it?

too many have had/bought f/glass replica's before and in comparison to a standard 'plastic' one it's a no brainer

crappy 'glass' ones on mine but i'll change em when they eventually self destruct as they will one day

saying that if you did get one there is always the option to strengthen it up in the right places - probably end up 3x weight mind
