Hi all,
New to the forum - 2023 Cupra Leon V1 driver here!
The other day I hit a pheasant at about 50-55mph and it damaged my lower grille - the one that holds the two parking sensors and the cruise control radar. Doesn't seem to be any damage to bodywork or radiator etc, but the impact dislodged my passenger side parking sensor and also the radar from the middle of the grille (and broke some of the plastic). These have since been cable tied back in place and the parking sensors and cruise control all seem to be working ok, so think it's just this grille that needs replacing.
I did a search on the forum and found this thread - https://www.seatcupra.net/forums/threads/lower-front-grille-replacement.475671/ - seems there's a sponsor who might be able to provide me the right parts if I can supply a VIN number, but just in case they don't see this thread or not active, I was wondering if either one of the links below are the right part:
5FA853667B 9B9 Grille satin black | oemVWshop.com
CUPRA Leon 2020-2024 Front Lower Grille - SEAT Direct Parts
If this is the right part, how do I fit this? And my sensors seem undamaged, so I assume I can just mount them to this new grille and all will be ok?
Car is Desire Red in case that makes a difference to colour needed.
Anything else to check post bird-strike too? I've probably done about 350-400 miles since and doesn't seem to be any issues, but good to know what to look out for just in case.
Images attached for reference (taken before things got cable tied!)
