Front bumper is a standard one they've fitted to disguise its final guise no doubt, subtle is what it should be, its one step up from a TFSI, TDI Sport, and a step down from the Cupra.
Make it too flashy, and the Cupra would need Blackpool Tower strapped to it to stand out above it
Plus at the end of its life, they'll stick all the Cupra bits on it, like they have with the Ibiza's
Looking more and more likely they'll announce this car soon, and i'd be very surprised if it wasn't on the stands at the London International Motorshow in July.

still not doing it for me I'm afraid. Something and nothing. Just doesn't stir the soul. I'm trying to learn to to love it but its just not happening. Well found though
Hrrmmm ...
Anyone know if Skoda are bringing a Diesel out in VRS guise .. might have to go looking at that.
I SOOOOOOO hate those wheels - but the rest of it is poor too!!
that looks a bit crapy ! what are the wheels all about , i actually think it looks a little cheap in all honesty, had high hopes for this car but if its gonna look like that then alot of LCR owners are just not gonna bother at trade in time...Hope the Cupra pulls somethin out of the hat. Also the interior just looks like its plastic ! Skoda Octavia VRS 2 is in a different league if the FR comes into production lookin like that then Seat are gonna have a problem !
yeah they are defo bringin a 170ps tdi out, should be later in the year , prob before the leon fr tdi i reckon...bet its a good engine mated to the DSG !

I know what you mean. Recently released cars are looking far more purposeful (not SEAT's). I suppose the Leon Mk1 concept is about 6+ years old now. Considering it was the runt of the Golf Mk1V chassis I suppose its lasted fairly well, but the R bodykit helped it weather the test of time a bit better. A still like the platimun R's subtle nature, but its not looking fresh by todays standards.
I do like SEAT, we have had 5 on the trot now. If I was going to put my hand in my pocket today I'm not sure the spanish brand would be top of my list. Depends on cash in hand and trade in value, but if I had to buy a car today with 20k'ish in my pocket I'd be hard pressed not to buy a 2nd hand RS4.
I think it looks okay - a few of you have said "if that's what it's going to look like then I'm not going to swap my LCR". Well, and I don't mean to be rude/snobbish that's the new FR, not the new Cupra
I have to say, not sure about those wheels either - liked them the first time I looked - it'd be nice to see a wider shot.
Interior looks good, seats, steering wheel, gear stick. Thought they might've changed the fascia to something different though, more sporty.
The badges on the front wings make me think that that spy shot of the red one with roofbox, roof lights and the aero (?) kit were of the FR - that white label and the TFSI badge. Although, I would've thought it would be badged FR on the sides. (apparently the white label is what they use to identify test mules, the number plates on that car are, I'm told, German trade plates so the white label is the car's unique identifier as the plates get swapped around).
There's some spy shots of the TT mkII and they have the same style red plates...

You can always fit the body kit Seat had on display at Autosport if you don't like the standard look.
