[christhkiddy]

Cheers in advance
Chris

 

[acidstrato]

then ends and the 2 fixings in the middle need to be shorter

width wise its a perfect fit

 

[andythom]

any one know if this will fit under the mk2 gti cupra splitter?

I think ive seen it before.

opinions?

 

[Craig!]

Yes it will.

I've just ripped mine off on a squirrels head. (yes I felt bad, well unti I saw the damage the fury little %$#* had done!)

Won't be putting another on. Pain in the arse.

 

[Forbez]

Looks so much better with one on though!

 

[Colin]

I have to agree they look good but are a royal pain in the arse. I took mine off caus it kept catching on the speedhumps at work.

 

[Craig!]

Didn't yours just rip off Col? Been thinking of putting another one on as theres not that many speed bump'd I have to tackle round here, plus the holes are already there!!

 

[hadz]

is there a fitting guide anywhere on here?

 

[bbsboy]

i cut down the 2 centre pegs, then lined it up in the middle, and attached using screws, when it came to the curve i cut small triangles out of the inside to allow it to bend then heated it with a heat gun till it fitted nicely, then trimmed off the ends, easy peasy

 

[acidstrato]

yep i just used screws, self tappers to be precise. isnt hard centering it, then u can bend it into position, theyr very flexible

going to picking mine up next week so I'll let you know (with pics) how I get on. Don't really want to remove the bumper to fit, is it easy just jacking the car up??

 

[speedsix]

Depends what look you're going for, yes they look a bit racier/deeper but more cluttered at the front, I quite prefer it a bit smoother without now.

Not to mention if you're low it will catch on everything. I measured 80mm of clearence splitter to road on mine!!

Ripped it off twice!!

 

[acidstrato]

i grounded mine today on a build up of tarmac in a carpark

was funny to look at, not funny hearing the scraping when reversing off it

its easier to use a power drill underneath the bumper if u jack it up, theres a big mounting point , right in the centre, on the bottom of the engine u can use easily. take no less than 15mins

 

[Matt20Cupra]

How much are they and where can you get them from??????????????

 

[JKing]

From the seat dealer mate for about £16. Think they list them as Leon Cupra-R front spoiler, no doubt someone on here will have a part number. Mine usually has some in stock as they apparently get lots of Leon owners in who have smashed them off on kerbs etc

 

[Forbez]

there's some on ebay at the moment.

 

[Chewbacca]

need one my self after a run in with a kerb in tescos car park on the weekend

 

[JKing]

there's some on ebay at the moment.

and it's up to £21.00 already!! that's just silly when they are £16 new from the dealer

 

[andythom]

Ebay......only good for things that noone else spots....

I got mymk2 gti spoiler for 30.00buck, dealer quoted 99 i think

Just called my local dealer, they say 15.25 plus vat
