Unless you go onto the Seat UK website and order the bodykit with centre exhaust ;)

the *******s. Didnt know they allowed this. Only K1's should have the center exhaust.

SEAT UK suck.

yea i like the look of the k1 kit front bumper but the back is the worse bumper i have ever seen!!

Same here, I think the side skirts need the front bumper because of how its lines flow to the side skirts.

Has anyone had / seen a cupra with the aero Font bumper and side skirts, it would be nice to see a picture.

Look at leoncp11's sig. That will look pretty well the same.

Except without copious sparkles ;)

And wheels, brakes and number plate position, ride height, graphics, grille and mirrors :).

I dont like the Aero bumpers (surprise) but having one Aero bumper and a factory bumper looks strange. There is a white Leon locally that has this config, and its strange. Each to their own though

I see what you are saying.
I supose it would like the front leoncp11's sig and the back of yours.

The reason I am wondering what it would look like is because I am thinking of ordering a new Cupa but dont know if I like the front bumper and the skirts do suit the car.

Bear in mind the body kit for the facelift version is a little different, the most notable difference being the bootlid spoiler.

Yea I remember seeing the pics posted by Briano back in May of the new kit and the boot spoiler looks less pronounced.

I wondered for while about what bodywork to get as the Cupra doesn't stand out from the others in the range like the R32 does from the VW range so I decided on skirts and spolier. Don't regret it at all...

Here's my Cupra with the full K1 kit on it. The original owner had the kit fitted by Seat dealers from new. It is the best of both models in my opinion as the Cupra hardly looks any different to the rest of the range but now I have K1 looks but also the Bi-xenons and headlight washers fitted on the cupra as standard.

Your car does look nice pal, not as individual as the standard Cupra though cos every 1.9 diesel Leon is wearing that kit these days :D

Who said anything about it being individual? I like it so that is all that matters to me. I didn't buy it for anyone else to like.

i think the k1 kit is ok, wasn't sure at first. It certainly stands out.... in a good way I think.

For me though it's too low.... too many speed bumps around here and i'd rather get rid of the gap in the wheel arches so no way could i live with the kit.

The gap definatly needs to go. I think the Eibach springs i had fitted did wonders for the cars looks. The k1's don't look as puny from the back as standard Cupra. Lowering it was a must. Don't get any probs with speed bumps. There are two plastic lips on the undertray which scrape as i go on and off the drive though :(

They'll wear off eventually...
