Hi all.

Just wondered whether it is very difficult to change the front and rear bumpers on a MK 1 Leon cupra, from the pre-facelift ones to those on a Cupra R???

Also are the bumpers on a cupra r and fr the same???

Cheers
Tan

P.S...What sort of price would I be looking at??

new bumper guides which hold the bumper to the wing £5 each
arch extensions £5 each
new top grills £39
new bottom grills £25 for all 3

The front bumper lower centre grille and two side grilles for the foglights cost about £70 altogether, with the centre one being about £35.

:whistle:Actually the centre grill with the "S" is £21 the lower centre grill is £30 and the fog light grills are £10 each, i know this to be true as i bought them last week, from Seat in Droitwich.[B)]

Strange as I was charged about £35 for the lower centre and about £16 each for the two sides from Seat Stoke a couple weeks ago :shrug:

someones had his pants pulled down!! do these stealers just make the prices up? :confused:

'right harry we have taken f%%% all today, so the next bloke who walks in can pay abit more!'. this seems to be the case.
