Any examples of a Cupra only fitted with skirts/spoiler?

[demonear]

It needs to be the Facelift model..
This is all I need to see to make a decision buying the car.
Any pics or guidance towards where to find an example would be great!

Thanks, you've all been a great help guys!!

You dont need a new post everytime mate

cheers, and i know that mate but i wanted to clarify by specifically asking if anyone had any pictures as we all know they're worth a thousand words!

I appreciated peoples opinions without any pics as well though! It's all good!!

 

[demonear]

maybe this look isnt so popular for a reason then!

Here you go matey

 

[demonear]

Here you go matey

superb, thanks very much Rob that looks more than ok to me!

can I chance my arm asking if you have any pics from the front?

I was perticularly keen to see how the face lift bumper flowed into the side skirts?

cheers again,
demonear

Rob has a pre-FL

 

[robdf2]

yes but gives him the general idea

 

[demonear]

Rob has a pre-FL

Ahn good point Sean didnt notice that..

Cheers again though Rob!

There has to be a pic out there somewhere of the FL Cupra/FR with standard bumper n sideskirts!?

 

[demonear]

Oh well, take it no-one's got or seen any pics of a facelift Cupra/FR with just skirts/spoiler then?

 

[MUFFIN]

Happy to help

that pic of the front just shows you how much they have raised the front bumper of the new ones.

Dont like that setup one bit i'm affraid.

 

[MUFFIN]

I agree S2TTB
The back looks slightly improved
The interior is majorly improved
The front view is TOSS, ruined

I now know why the guy who bought my K1 wasn't too bothered about the new one.

I could live with it though ;o)

 

[demonear]

No way I was just logging in to upload the same pics from the same source and was beaten to it!

I'm really glad I saw this first as it's the combination that i very almost went with. It used to work with the pre-facelift but this confirms my suspisions about how I was worried it might now look...

unless anyone has photographic evidence to suggest otherwise?

It's possible that it's a bad angle the photo's been taken at but it seems unlikely..

Yep, they messed up the front to a degree

 

[rockape]

I think it is a bad angle on that front shot. The white with the black wheels also shows the difference more.

Mines crono yellow with silver alloys and the dealer ordered them on the car as it's ex-demo. TBH I don't think it looks that bad, but from those photos above, you've got me thinkin now guy's. Maybe it does look bad after all! Think I'll have a good look from different angles tommorow.

Are they easy to remove without damaging the paintwork on the sills and is it a job I should attempt myself?

I know, I'm finding it hard to believe taht it could look that bad either but pics dont lie unless they've been messed with & that autotrader snap has made my mind up considering they're trying to sell the car it would seem unlikely that it's just a bad angle?

Let us know how you get on having a look from different angles froggy. Take some pics with your phone if you can be bothered!

 

[rockape]

Will do demonear. There is a step up from the side sill to the front spoiler but no matter what angle I look at it, it's not as obvious as the one above and the overall effect still looks good(he says trying to convince himself lol).
Won't be making any rash decisions though, the sills would be a nightmare to remove...they're bonded on solid!

Here's a link to some photo's I took yesterday:

Thoughts and opinions please, as to whether I should take them off altogether or turn them round the opposite way.

IMPO. I would take them off or add the front aero bumper.
