Possible to upgrade Bodykit to FR-like?

All you need is the bumpers is it not as the rest is pretty much the same
Front and rear bumper, fr alloys and lowering springs and its job done

The FR used to be so much more I had a mk1 fr
sideskirts
spoiler
grey mirrors
grey wheels
front bumper
rear bumper
and a bit of power
the FR is very diluted these days and is the most sold model by far

I had to buy side skirts for my Cupra! Couldn't believe they aren't even included on a Cupra.
What about the LED headlights? In UK, only FR & Xcellence have LED headlights as standard, and lower trims can't even add them as options. It would be a straight giveaway when you don't have the LED lights.
That is ridiculous. Looks naff without skirts. Should 100% be standard on the cupra.
I would add them myself but they are ridiculously priced
Me too, I believe the Cupra should come standard with side skirts, plus...the sports styling kit... rear bumper with the round exhaust...
Looked Up the swedish page for Seat accessories and found a rear bumper replacement for around 9000 swedish kronor (around 800-900 pounds i believe). It does not include the exhaust though which would cost a lot more.Me too, I believe the Cupra should come standard with side skirts, plus...the sports styling kit... rear bumper with the round exhaust...

Worth it?
What i've found is that the money you save on the over all price of the car is the same if not more money you spend on the parts you want to add to it to make it look more appealing anyway.
i.e. sideskirts, rear boot spoiler, front and rear splitters e.t.c
Mine doesn't even have an engine cover!

And us poor Cupra owners don't even save any money and still have to buy splitters, side skirts, spoiler lips etc to make it look slightly sporty.What i've found is that the money you save on the over all price of the car is the same if not more money you spend on the parts you want to add to it to make it look more appealing anyway.

Here it is: http://seat-leon.sgpetch.co.uk/page...y=ROOT-bodykit/accessory=Rear+Bumper/id=16064
But it's not painted, nor fitted
. Anyway, if I were to fit that (which at one point I did, before dieselgate), I would have gone for an aftermarket exhaust anyway like the below:https://www.supersprint.com/ww-en/seat-leon-sc-5f-20-tdi-150-hp-incl-fr-2013-.aspx
I mean the Leon already looks very sporty say next to a Golf or Octavia, but we all want it just a little bit more sporty, haha...
I found this - https://www.bildelsbasen.se/?link=i...100&vcx=5332&pc[0]=111100105&post_id=36828415
But it's from a 2015 model , which should fit my car . Am I right?
That's a pre-facelift LED headlight - if your car is a pre-facelift with LED headlights, then yes
...and the price seems to be half of what you had found before.
Just to make it clear - if your car doesn't have LED headlights, retrofitting them is far from simple!
You would need the new headlights, the control modules, quite a bit of coding, potentially new light switches, sensors, etc.
Beware - my reply to go look in that site was all about the bumpers only and body parts.

The 1.8 180 tsi and 2.0 184 tdi are quite different to the less powerful Leons:
-more power
-bigger brakes
-independent rear suspension
-E-diff
Modest power by modern performance standards, but still quick enough to get you into trouble.
It’s a smart move from Seat to introduce the FR line for all models, so people who don’t need/can’t insure more power can get a sporty look, but it does mean that “the Leon FR” has kind of disappeared compared to the mk1 and mk2.
As far as the OP, would it not be easier to sell your car and find a similar car in FR spec?
