Not really, the grills and inserts are... its the rear bumpers that are different, except the FR and Cupra, they are the same :)

Firstly I drilled out as much plastic as I could using different sized drill bits, that took about 20 minutes. The much harder part was the filing which took about 2 hours all together! I didn’t do it all in one go as my hands got knackered after 20 mins!

A much easier way is to use a dremmel multi. I thought about buying one to do the job but thought it was a bit of a waste just using it once. I’ve since found a much cheaper tool made by Rotacraft which would be perfect for the job.

Update 06/04/08

I haven't updated this thread for a while, I've not really done too much but here goes

- Fitted PD160 Air intake and Green panel filter. Enlarged the adaptor to allow more air flow. I noticed a slight difference, acceleration felt smoother and the turbo now hisses louder :D

- Sprayed the wing mirrors gloss black

After

- Fitted a vRS ARB, bushes and Cupra wishbone bushes. Big change noticed, no more annoying knocking and the car feels much more solid on the road.

- Colour coded the main front centre grille to match the rest of the cupra grilles. Re-painted the red parts and sprayed the badge and surround the same colour as the wheels.

Ad Lav - and exhaust and remap and spacers and brakes!! the list is endless!!
