orite i didnt notice that, i did notice the shape though, so you think i have asked for the correct part to get the same grille as yours
Just ordered a honeycombe grille, fair price?

Yep - if you asked for an FR grill then that's what you should get - if it helps I can dig out the part number tomorrow evening and you can take that to the dealer when picking up yours, just so you can make sure its correct before you leave the dealers, and if not then at least you'll have a part number for them

ok yeh thanks, if i havnt paid for it and its the wrong part am i able to decline it even though i would have asked for the wrong part
Can't see why not - if they were looking 50-60 quid for it, the I reckon it must be the FR grill. If the try to flog you the other grill then they're having a laugh as its only £20

That would be good. I'm thinking about ordering one for my 1.6 sport.
Your pic is the FR grill on a sport isn't it? was it easy to fit? and where's the best place to buy?
Sorry for the barrage of questions!!
No worries - yeh my car is a 1.6 TDI sport though it'll fit any other model.
I got it from SERE motors (where I bought the car) they have a section on the forum, http://www.seatcupra.net/forums/showthread.php?p=2865170#post2865170
David (the parts manager) is a legend! Great guy for genuine parts at sensible prices.
As for fitting it, the hardest part is removing the old grill, however there's a guide on the site for removing a mk2 leon grill and the ibiza one is pretty much the same procedure.

Il second that, ordered some parts from him last week and they came and had been scratched in transit and he sorted it out no probs, good price as well

was talking to my brother this morning and even they said that it would be in on Saturday it came in the morning a result me thinks.
Any genuine part - same as any other SEAT dealer.
just come home, like m4rt1n said got the phone call this morning and picked the part up this afternoon when on my way home from college £48.82
Nice one - glad to hear it was the correct grill. I love mine, definitely makes the front look so much better!

yeh it does look better going to be fitting it today is it just the screw things on the top that need to be sprised out and then the hooks on the back about half way down?
Yep - I found the hooks on the back where the hardest to get out. But with a bit of persistance you should get there!

i dropped one of the clips in the locking mechanism for the bonnet luckily dad got it out then he used the screwdrivers down the side of the grille next to the body work to ping them out but not advisable as dad broke one of them and snapped the other one but lukily its help in place by the things at the top but its still secure at the sides, looks good as well now its fitted
Im amazed I didn't break the clips at the side, don't know why the grill is actually so secure, on my old mk3 Ibiza, you could just lift it out lol.
Though it did have 2 other grilles at either side of the middle one that were actually plastic welded to the bumper, had to take the bumper off to change them!

orite, least mine does actually stay and it does look better, mum and dad dont know the difference (it is abit ovious) and our roofer says it looks better now
It's all about the subtle mods - my old mk3 never really stood out on its own, (to anyone who didn't know anything about cars) but park it beside another one and anyone could tell it looked a million times better!
