I'm liking that front end more and more. Would it clear my Cupra D pipework on my MK4 FMIC conversion? And could i tansfer my foglights across?

i dont know if the have the space behind them like the cupra one has but the different shape grill might allow you to get the pipes through as the fog surround wont curve in!

shaun , ist he pipes on your FMIC routed the same way as the forge 130 BHP kit , check the instructions on theyre site , theres room behind the new bumpers below the headlights as they can be ordered with xenons and hence washers

No mate my pipes run like the Cupra D, its the bottom pipe thats sits against the drivers fog light surround. Just me being OTT, but I'm thinking eithe rthe new shape bumper of the Cupra, but I do like the mesh grills of the newer shape

shaun ive been thinking i still think even with the cupra bumper your goingto have to cut it as forge cut out a big bit just before the fog surround where the hex screw goes in to the front pannel the cupra bumper will still have this part there as wil the new facelift bumpers. only way seat got aorund that was to put a big bend in the ic pipework! you should get away without having to cut the fog surround on both though

The newer bumper will look better with my FR upper grills I think. Yeh Gaz thats what I want. Dont get me wrong as you know Gaz its a quality install, but the new bumper will be icing on the cake - may tie it up with a bonnet flash to
