All i did was remove the centre grille from the bumper and pop out the 's' badge. The actual bits i painted red are attached to the grille and not to the chrome badge. The only red paint i had hanging around was the paint that i used to do my brake callipers, Might not be the most suitable paint but it did the job. 2 coats with a touch up brush and it was done.

Cheers Scott

That quote is from earlier on in this thread... i had loads of people asking me how i did it! I redesigned the badge and grille recently and painted the red bits with proper spray paint. I have to say thou that the calliper paint was much easier to use as it's thicker than normal paint.

looks emense anyway, not much point if im gonna de-badge but al see how it goes, cheers buddy

Correct.

mate your fogs from your pre facelift bumper will definately fit your cupra bumper, but not a fr bumper, ive got fogs from a pre facelift bumper in my cupra bumper.

litrally lifts the bumper up but it doesnt damage it im actually lower than in this pic now so can only turn 1 way out of the drive now

wazb · May 21, 2008

Nice, realy like those wheels, have you lowerd it?, i also wanted 17" but heard i had to lower it otherwise the drive would be crap, also can any one tell me the price of that cupra bumper from a seat dealer? with the grill and the fog lights and a rough price on painting it?

vRS ARB, bushes and Cupra wishbone bushes, how much did they cost, and how much did it cost to fitt?

thanks for the help.

ScottHmk4 · May 21, 2008

i payed about £280 ish all in for bumper and painting, but that was getting it at cost prices not retail, so a dont know how much more your lookin at

Altech · May 21, 2008

wazb – No I haven’t lowered my car yet. The handling isn’t too bad actually, as the rolling radius is the same due to my 17” having a lower profile tyre than the 16”.

I bought my Cupra bumper off a member on here for £200 painted as well! From Seat I think your looking at about £220 for the bumper primed and the new grilles. Painting will vary from £75 to about £150.

vRS ARB and bushes cost me £58 from Skoda and the Cupra wishbone bushes were £8 each.

wazb · May 21, 2008

cool thanks for the info, will proberly get 16" but defiently made up my made about the colour of the alloys love that dark grey, i aslo have a lunay grey ibiza, also how much did it cost to fit the bushes, this mechancic gave me a quote of £350.

mixupz · May 21, 2008

altech you got part nos for those bits>?

wazb · May 21, 2008

Any one know where i can buy wheels with a similer colour? been searching for a while and cant find any.

Altech · May 21, 2008

mixupz –

6LL 407 183 Cupra front wishbone rear bush x2

6Q0 411 305 AC ARB kit from Skoda. I think it includes the bushes.

wazb- I re-sprayed mine that colour as they were originally silver. You should however be able to find some a similar colour. Have you looked at Kei alloys?
Also have a look at this site

Loads of choice and the prices aren’t bad either.

wazb · May 21, 2008

Thanks, was wondering would these wheels fit?

Altech · May 21, 2008

Nope...you'll need 5x100. I'm sure Kei do the force 10s in a 5x100 fitment thou.

Personally the smallest i'd go would be 16". If your budget can stretch to it defo go for 17" you won't regret it

wazb · May 21, 2008

i would get 17" but i live in an area with alot of speed bumps, and i dont want to be slowing down to a snails pace every time i want to get over them.
