I think that looks good

if you don't mind me asking how much did the splitter cost?

 

[jaykicksass]

i got it second hand but i think they are only about 20 from a main dealer but ebay are wanting 25 plus delivery, i just posted a wanted thread.

Just go collect one from a Dealer at around £20


you got any photos taken at a level looking straight at front end rather than looking down?

These dont suit the Pre-Facelift bumpers

 

[jaykicksass]

yea, here is a picture from ground level.

Im sorry, i just dont think it does anything for it...


I had one for my pre facelift FR but got rid of it before fitting as i went off the look/idea.

Its not that i think it looks bad as such, just that it doesnt improve things either so i find there's no real point IMO

[jaykicksass]

Looked up Bobbins in the car dictionary and it states

''To put a flimsy piece of plastic onto your car that doesn't follow the curves of said car''

Ahhh Yes, the good ol' (Mk1) Leon Cupra R Splitter.

These are a very popular Mod on the Mk4 SEAT Ibiza.
Official Part Number: 1ML805903. Can be picked up at less than £20 from SEAT Parts department.

They looked neat on the IBIZA as it is a more compact rounded car / front end.
Not sure about that look above, on the NEW facelift Mk2 Leon though?

If you look at it head on, almost ground level, are there gaps between the Splitter and Bumper, where they both meet (in which case you'll see floor - not good??

And theres the answer! - so no gaps between Splitter and Bumper where its fixed - which is good.
But makes that lower front end look a little "Retro" perhaps?

 

[jaykicksass]

I think it looks quite good and will look even better when it's lowered. I must admit that the pictures do it no justice they really don't. Must been seen in person I feel!

Cup Spoiler may be doing a new version to fit the FL FR/Cupra. Sold my Cup Spoiler but much preferred that as it fitted the shape of the car perfectly

[Moley RUFC]

around 20 quid PLUS VAT

around 20 quid PLUS VAT

Fitted the LCR Splitter to my (old) Mk4 Ibiza about 3 yeara ago!

Back THEN, you did get change from a £20 note! However the global economy has gone up since then, as it always does, hence this piece of moulded plastic also costing more now.

^ Now THAT does look the part !

Also the Spoiler will be more effective like that, than having a rear bootlid Spoiler fitted, on the Leon!
