fibreglass cupra R kits ?

[dannyboi]

ive been looking for cupra R kit for a while now and it looks like they are going for a lot of money
so was woundering if anyone has chanced it and gone for the fibreglass kits you can get on ebay ? ino it wont look spot on like the genuine R kit but may look ok still ?

what are your views on it ?

also if anyone has bought this would you wind posting up a pic of fitment look ect

thanks

Don't do it, the front bumper will crack the first bump you hit and they wont fit properly, wait and be patient you will get the OE bits for a good price-ish, i did you can spread the cost then.
£100 Front bumper + £30 for fittings
£140 Side skirts and all fittings
£80 back bumper and fittings
Skirts are the hardest to find and in my case the most expensive, it took me about 12 months to get all the bits , from ebay and the for sale on the site.

cheers mate , i was thinking they would be abit crap

i think i might pay out that bit extra then , might have to get the side skirts that are fibreglass they should be ok

To be honest i would hold out they do come up and i have seen them go cheaper than i paid, the thing with fibre glass is the moment the hit anything they crack or split and look sh1t, although if you had to i suppose the skirts are fairly safe unless you ground it.

Well alot of people don't like Fibreglass but on my old Golf mk4 I fitted a R32 fibreglass front bumper and it fitted pretty good, didn't have any problems for about 9 months

and then after nine months things go pair shaped. I've had FG before so can't say much but i'd never di it again....EVER

9 Months, so was it good value for money?

Hey I only paid 60 for it so can't grumble It certainly did the job while I owned the car. Of course if I had the extra money I'd get plastic but at the time I didn't.
