Good morning all this week I have had my leon back from repairs it has had a new front bumper but I am not happy to say the least I have a 2007 Cupra which has come back with the bumper sprayed all wrong they have sprayed the numberplate recess and the lower bar below the numberplate to me it looks like the wrong bumper but the garage have told me that it is the fr/Cupra bumper just sprayed wrong my question is is the Cupra and fr bumper the same?

A quick search on Google and looks like you guys are right. I never noticed that difference between the Cupra and the FR. I'm guessing you should be able to take it back and get them to rectify it?

I'm waiting to pick up my K1 from the Bodyshop as had pretty much whole front end replaced so will be checking it with a fine tooth comb!

At first I thought it was a complete wrong bumper but according to the stealers it is a Cupra/fr bumper just sprayed different Alex I guess yours can't go much wrong as it's a k1 it's a specialised bumper! Is there a difference in the k1 bumper an the btcc?

Hopefully you can get it sorted mate because as you said you're not happy and it hasn't come out the same as it went in.

K1/BTCC is same thing as far as I know. Just that some are ordered from the factory with it and some are fitted at the dealer.

You'd think they wouldn't be able to get it wrong, but they did. Was supposed to be picking car up Thursday/Friday after waiting since 23rd dec. They decided to tell me late Friday that its got the wrong headlamp washer cover and pipe so have to order a new one. Even though it was in for paint on Tuesday

Alex I had the same had a back order on a headlight from Germany and all was being painted like last Monday and I think mine went in about the same time as yours mine have agreed to take it back in and spray the bits the colour they should be but that's not for another 2 weeks

There did seem to be a fair few Cupra's on here in accidents over Xmas so doesn't surprise me.

At least you're getting it sorted, just an inconvenience. I've been spending too much on goodies waiting for my car to be ready!

Already bought loba hpfp, redline gearbox oil, power flex gearbox bush, facelift climate control and a 2 channel blackvue dash camera. Going to have lots to keep me busy

Nice! Is that the triple r rear diffuser? They broke my triple r front splitter when they picked it up so they paid for a new one and have fitted it for me too

Will do. I'd prefer to have the original in gloss black with fins. Something feels off about fitting a diffuser over the OEM one.

Just got mine back from the Bodyshop today and looks like I've been upgraded to the LineaR bumper I think. Unless that's how the grilles come on the K1 bumpers now?
