When I discussed what I wanted before fitting I was advised not to run KW dcc's at their highest setting as people have reported knocking issues with this configuration. It was there recommendation to opt for a 25mm drop based on previous installs. I didnt query the maths behind the 25mm, i just asked to be consulted by the tech before he finished the install and went onto the alignment so I could check the drop and make final adjustments. I never made further tweaks as was happy with the stance. I presume its 35mm plus 25mm.

Im going back at the weekend for dsg and diff service so can query the maths behind the 25mm drop then if you want.
That would be handy, wonder if the numbers on the site are wrong, as there is no way you've lowered it 60mm, the top of the tyres would be tucked in the archs.

Looks good though. Need to come and have a look at it. You say your there on Saturday?

Gave mine a jolly good scrub today, noticed a small red scuff on my wheel arch I also spent a whopping 6 quid on a puddle light, bit of a gimmick but quite happy with it.

Hey man can you pop me a link to where you got your puddle lights? I haven't been able to find one with the flag logo.

Does anyone know if a Maxton diffuser will also fit the face lifted FRs?
Websites says it only fits 2012-16 models

I would give them a ring and ask, however based on the web site they have the Cupra split between Original and Facelift but for the FR only Original.

Sorry I wouldn’t expect it to.

The bumper changed a fair bit when it was facelifted. Where the old FR bumper just had a cut out for the exhaust, the new one has a simple diffuser. I suspect to reduce costs and keep it the same as the Cupra just with a different diffuser, rather than a whole different bumper.

Looking at spraying the rear bumper insert in gloss black. What in your view is a fair price for this?
Just got quoted 150 and seems a lot. Or are these the sort of quotes I should be expecting?

When you say the the bumper insert do you mean the angled shape that fits in the mid section of the bumper panel below the reg plate? On my '14 Cupra 280 it's in matte plastic.

I ask because I'm also interested in doing this, not a fan of the matte plastic look - looks cheap.

Yes.
Now that I've fitted a glossy diffuser it annoys me even more as it stands out
