The fog light area looks bigger on the FR one... Again possibly for more airflow? Certainly looks more aggressive than the original FR one:)

Im not happy! Only got my cupra bumper a couple of weeks ago. I still think the Cupra bumpers are nicer than the new ones though im sure the New Cupra bumpers will be even better when they come out.

I dont like the idea that theres not much diference now to the basic models especially as there is so many basic Ibizas on the roads every day.

Think I will pursue my idea of changing to the Mk1 Leon FR or Cupra....

Apparently the headlights on the facelift are a different shape!!! (mike_obd works for SEAT parks and said so) Beware to check this out before splashing out as a new set of light will cost over £120 probably

Just spoke to our friend who works for Seat, and he believes that the wings on the facelift one may have been altered, so fitting facelift bumpers may be a problem...what does everyone else think?

nope wings are identical. Think about, seat are hardly gonna make up new tooling to produce new wings just for a facelift, lights are also the same, however some have been fooled by the press images showing the car with the rare as dino eggs Xenon lights.

The bumpers will pop on easy peasy, only thing that might be different is the Fog lights, not sure but they look a diffferent size to me, maybe off the altea but not sure.

Cheap as chips conversion, bumpers will be no more than £200 each plus spraying,

Although remember the FMIC is not just for looks, it does serve a purpose such as improving performance vastly.

But with the facelift bumpers the SMIC will be ok, as opposed to using the Cupra bumpers? Just can't afford a FMIC at moment.


Dont think so mate

Look at the pic the honeycombe is a solid design! like the area around the tow eye in the cupra, so a FMIC is still a must if you plan to tune it!
