@paddy6789 and @Damo H are your new cars fitted with spare wheels and if not are you going to sway them across.
Mine definitely isn't but will be. I think Paddy's is as it has Beats.

@theoldboy - I want to see if my full size 19" performance pack wheel will fit. If it does I'll get a cheap tyre on it and stick that in instead of the space saver. Same offset and clears the brembos.

Finally fitted a trc front splitter. What a pig of a job that is, no wonder I kept putting it off for ages ! I ended up moving the outter mounting holes inwards a little to ensure I could get to the bolt inside the bumper. My hands and forearms are shredded!

It's a tough job alright, I've fitted 2 now, definitely easier 2nd time round once you know what you're doing. What made my 2nd fitting tough was the fact I had hit and killed a pheasant at 100kmh a few weeks before I went to fit it. When I reached up into the front bumper from under the car I found all the rotten bird parts I had missed while cleaning first time round:repuke:

This is the sort of scheme I am going to look at, He did have lots of advertising on it when he bought it but had that taken off,
I just think the Revo sign down the bottom would look great. Lucky I have no money at the mo so that can wait till I change my mind for something else.

nice :)

I suppose that's the best way to tell.... don't get it for a while, and if you still want it... get it :) :)

Yeah, mainly because of the center grilles. I can't quite remember but I think the fog light surrounds can be removed from the front by pulling them out.

Removing the bumper was actually quite easy. All you need is a ratchet with a few different size Torx bits. I didn't even remove my front tires to take the bumper screws off from the wheel arches. Just turned them a bit.

Is that upper front grill surround just a standard cupra grill surround? I've got the silver one on my FR but black looks so much nicer! Would that require a front bumper removal do you think?

Yes it does, part of it sits behind the bumper...

Oh :censored:. That doesn't look good... is everyone alright?

Yes, thankfully only me involved. I think I had a puncture as I entered the roundabout because I remember the car felt a bit odd.. No TPS warning came on though.. Airbags didn’t deploy either!

There was a witness who just said that it looked as if I’d slid on something and lost control..

And as for the rimblades, well they didn’t do a very good job
