Looks great mate. Think it would look even better with black surround instead of chrome.

JCP - noticed the black around the number plate. Did you tackle this yourself? if so, what was the procedure.

Thanks in advance

Sticky back plastic-originally for a random renault b-pillar found lying around at my local body shop, peel, smooth on and trim with a stanley blade. Close up it has a finish a bit like the panel at the screen edge of the bonnet.

I had one of those grills from SEAT FACTORY, it rubbed on the bonnet & wasnt a great
fit


BTW: You need to change the inicator bulbs to some Silver Vison chrome ones, that fried egg yolk look isnt cool

I concur. Would probably have one if it was available with a black surround.

Hi Wrighty,

Where did you get the LineaR grill from and what sort of price was it if you dont mind me asking?

got it from spain, was about £100 delivered i think but worth every penny - how it should have come originally!

Think if the surround was all black it would be too much, the brushed silver/black works well, on white at least.

Just the solution I have been considering. My local motorbike livery firm have offered to shape and fit matt black plastic panel for £15. Heading there on Monday.

Cheers

Personally I think the standard black cupra grill looks much nicer than both the above.. But each to their own.

Thanks Jace- you are right and Silvartecs now fitted

Only remaining light issue is the "yellow" sidelight bulb compared with the blue/white headlights- so annoying!

Linear R Grille

Fitted mine today, possibly the only citrus Leon FR with one in the country.
It looks great.

Getting the old one off was a pig, ended up wrenching it off, breaking the clips on the old grille. Didnt damage anything else though so not bothered as the old grille was to be chucked anyway!

Got mine from www.ibexparts.com in Spain. They gave a very good service. Cost 107 euros inc Postage
