[Adamskifresh]

Just to double check, if you go here http://www.vag-codes.info/files/engines/seat-engines.pdf

The engine code CJXA = 280 HP
The engine code CJXE = 265 HP

Inside your door there is a sticker with the chassis number. Think it’s on that.

Get a remap and a spoiler and your laughing Probably handles/rides better on 18’s too.

All my docs just refer to Cupra TSI but askMID comes back as Cupra TSI (261)
God I wish I had the original ad but I brought in February

Don't you have a copy of the selling invoice? might say the model on there so you'll know which they sold you

Seat aero spoiler is probably the cheapest genuine option. No need a new brake light and washer pipe (brake light is in the spoiler on the Cupra ones.

All the spoilers are the same for the 280/290/300 etc.

"No need for me brake lights and washer pipe (brake light air in the spoiler on the Cupra ones"
So if I buy a copy I have to swap the brake light and washer pipe over but the OEM one is just bolt on?

No

The OEM Cupra spoiler is 3 pieces, the painted top part, the black plastic underneath part, and the brake light that sits in it the black plastic.

This is the best close up picture of the Cupra spoiler, sadly it’s got a Maxton spoiler extension on it (the black bit stuck on top), so not the best example...

The OEM Aero spoiler is 1 piece, and is a different shape altogether. It’s cut out around where the brake light sits in the boot lid.

Aftermarket spoilers are generally just copies of the aero spoiler.


This is the Cupra R Carbon fibre spoiler, the best looking IMO, but £600+

Damo is spot on. Very easy to remap if you wish but as a standard Cupra I wouldn't worry about any performance difference. I think there's an official 0.1 sec difference for the traffic light Grand Prix. Also a lot of us with the 19" 'puncture magnet' tyres would appreciate the 18" at times!

Only 9k miles, should be good as new! I'm not that far off in milage in a late 2018 car! Enjoy the car!

To me there’s only one spoiler option......that’s the carbon one you don’t even have to remove your old one.

Thanks to Damo and Peller for making me feel better about the whole debate.
Solved the whole "Cupra" calliper thing too altho purists would probably think it looks rubbish but I like
