Bumper Question?

[Lee_Cupra]

right I've done a bit of searching around on the forum so could someone just answer this question for me?

I'm about to buy a Cupra TDI but it has the same front bumper as the car on this thread:

http://www.seatcupra.net/forums/showthread.php?t=231635

Am I right in thinking this Cupra has had an FR bumper fitted at some point as its a 2003 so before the change over (all be it a dec 2003) or where some just made that way from factory?

I know you're probably wondering why I have such a thing for bumpers but it's simply that I'm trying to trace the history of the car and a previous accicdent and I'm guessing if the front end's been replaced then this would be the area that got a whack.

Thanks for looking.

The car in you link is either a Cupra with the Cupra R front bumper fitted or an FR+ which came as standard with that type of bumper fitted 2005, the last of the mk1 Leons

or added afterwards, as hes added 18 inch cupra r alloys and the r interior.

Those wheels look more like the 17" replicas to me. Obviously can't be lying tyres wouldn't fit just don' tlook right.

So, we have a Leon with Cupra badge on back, FR letters under side repeaters and R bumpers but a custom plate so can't find out what it is...interesting.

I'd be tempted to go with Cupra + added wheels, interior and FR badges for some reason.

So if I'm buying a late 2003 TDI cupra with that front bumper the front ends been replaced at some point, correct?

Or just the plastic bumper...
