Aero front bumper, opinions on this

[bakester69]

Hi,
After hitting a badger last week, i need a new front bumper on my leon. It currently has the aero kit, (half on the fron ;-)) and when i was looking for a replacement, i found this. It is half the price of my local stealers so i was just after opinions?
cheers

Looks right but thats a pic nicked off the seat site i belive , Dont forget all the aftermarket kits wont be made of the same material so will be more prone too cracking/stone chips

and might be a crap fit.

I thought about both those points but seat charge what i think is a ridiculous price for the bumper, and this site says 100% guaranteed fit

Did you try seremotors?

 

[Alex 17]

Yea you say its double the price for one bumper? I think seres do the full kit for 1k? with exhaust etc. Dont quote me though

EBAY! You might have to get it resrayed but it'll be fine and dandy.

Plus it'll be dirt cheap

I was hoping to find one off ebay or a second hand one but cant!

were did you buy your kit from? i emailed one site where the entire kit is alittle over £500 they said its fiberglass and then gel'd? they said 100% perfect fit, do you think it would be a waste of time, it is half the price of stealers.

what material is best?

 

[Wallie]

ABS plastic is best!

go for standard you wont regret it! get what you pay for with these companies!

Have you tried this company, they advertise on ebay and claim that they supply original SEAT bumpers it priced at £355,

Item no 370284271384 - company advertising is Stone Acre Motor Group

Hope it helps

i got the bumpers from the link in post 1.
the problems i had was the front bumper was 5" to small, raer 2 1/2" to small. the vents were built in to the bumpers and had to be painted black to give the efect. ther was no danger these bumpers would fit any mk2 leon!
after being outbidded on every bumper on ebay i went to stealers and got the right ones. glad i did they look great and the fiberglass ones would not have looked good atol!!

Look on ebay for a Non Aero Cupra bumper set. There are usually some for sale on there cheap as oddly people change them for the Aero bumpers. Will be cheaper, OEM and will look better too
