The yellow is a facelift Cupra R and they OE bumpers cost big bucks. The grey one is a v1 Cupra R and once again cost a few quid to get them. I am seriously tempted to buy something from one of the Polish manufacturers (as long as I can find one with good feedback)
In terms of work it really needs to be;
1) Cambelt etc
2) Boost leak
3) Remap courtesy of Dr Hayward
4) Lower it
5) Exhaust
That will take a good few quid but should change the way the thing goes and runs.

Looking good Stu; nearly talked Lucy into a Cupra as her daily driver but rear viz was deemed a bit restrictive and we ended up with the Alfa 147 2.0 instead, an endearing car but not particularly sporty.

Oooooooooooooo check you out Mr SEAT specialist ;)
Whatever they are, both of those bumpers are a lot nicer than mine. Having a good look on the net, I am a little surprised at the lack of bits for the styling of SEATS (bearing in mind what they look like :D )

Rattle cans for the win :thumbs:
I got bored of sleeping and eating earlier (well, it has taken four days!!) so I dug through my collection of spray cans and found some radiant red from Ford. I have had these a number of years, so I had no real idea what to expect.
The lower part of the bumper trim (seen here Image ) was black and measures about 40mm..............instant lowering if it was colour coded, right? :)
Primed

Painted

Engine bay tarted up

I think it's an improvement and bearing in mind the lack of effort and expense, it's a winner
Image
I also have to allow for smashing the thing to bits, driving up and down this

About a quarter of a mile, maybe more, before you get to a main road and this track routinely destroys most vehicles that use it regularly. Small price to pay for keeping the riff-raf out :thumbs:
(Excuse the weird colours; my car is still red, just the bright sunlight plays havoc with the camera!)
