A few have done it on here. Needs to be cut and stretched a bit to fit.

Thanks alot mate but i ment the standard facelift one not fr or cupra. I kno some mite say get the fr bumper off ebay im just looking at options. Plus there are ALOT of fr's out there. I think the splitter might complement it nice because the profile of the bumper lifts slightly towards the end. Ill post a pic showing what um trying to describe when i can
Cool liking the grill also! Were getting there now.... The more you look at them the more different they are . How was it to fit on fella?

Are these from the MK1 1M Cupra R Leon? How can I fit one of this? i found one in my country, do you think it would fit my 2007 Leon FR?

Yes itll fit with persuading. But IMO it doesnt suit the fr one but there are other splitters that do!
I think the Cupra R spoiler is the best, but at £196 its very expensive, only if there was someone in the UK fabricating them
Do u have any pics of the FR splitter? Eibachs will be under my car, so a splitter can protect my bumper as well.
Old thread i know.....
I dont think the cupra r splitter is wide enough standard. I think making a wider one but extending the center section would look better. Pushing the 'lipped edges' further round the bumper. Prob need to fabricate it using 2 splitters. Could be a nice cheap custom mod tho.....

Already done it. Looks good but i took back the heat gun before i spotted aa tiny bit of light on corner! Just needs pulling up about 2mm screws wont do it. Ill sort it soon! I had to bend it in in the middle (not center just as it starts to bend) then out at the ends. And the only things i cut are the lugs and spacer things!

For those who it may help...... Guide for NON FR facelift. Basically new standard bumper. Though may help on other applications
Splitter, jack, stubby self tappers (non corrosive), small drill, heat gun a defo! A spare pair of hands a defo! Flat work surface, wall or similar to gauge if symetrical. Stanley knife, hacksaw. Maskin tape or similar
Cut the spacers off with a stanley (all the way round so it will be flush) cut the center lug things just above the plastic line (shaped like a V) you can always cut more later. Roll your car onto a kerb then jack up the other side. Then weigh up what a mess youve got yourself into! Lol
I used an old ikea table to work on and hold the splitter up to the car while i checkd the shape.
Now you have to bend "out" the start of the curve (from the middle but not the thin bit.) with heat gun. Best do this over several spots so its a nice curve. Keep checking and always keep it heated on the underside/back. When happy with symmetry the outer part needs to come back in. Again do it over a couple of spots. Try and offer it up in the same place each time.
When your about right and feeling confident start thinking how far back/forward you want it. The further back the easier if i remember. The standard fl bumper lifts slightly in the middle which i or you ever noticed before now. This makes it look gappy when about to screw in. You can heat/bend the splitter in a very slight arch shape or do this when its screwed in where the thin bit meets the bulk of it(bend the bulky bit). I chose a bit of both. To get it centered, count the number of hexagons on the front grill and match it up to the V shaped lugs.
Bang two screws in each side of the bulky bit, pick a reference point from the origional bumper join at the belly board kind of thing, so you get it BANG on. Put several in at this point ensuring it wont move. Take your time now get each screw in 100 opposite its identical partner! Again using the joint you will see. Put in as many screws as you feel neccassary.
When halfway round, look at the front of the car again. (Do this alot btw) predict any problems at this point. The most extreme corner should be tucked well into the bumper with very little/no light visible. You can still bend and mould at this point especially if you need to close the gaps up.
Nearly done now. Move to the end screwing in. You can use washers if the screw head is driving too far into the splitter. If you did it right there will be exactly equal amounts of splitter left at the ends. I didnt end up cutting any off but depending on the angle you bend it at overall, you may need to cut. If i remember right i cut a small recess to accomodate the bit of plastic in front of the tyre. I didnt screw in the center Vs. It naturally held itself up also wouldnt snap anything if i hit sumthin.
Stand back and admire. Also apollogise to your helper!
Sorry if its abit vague/spelling/****. Also no pics it was too stressfull at the time! Hope it gives some confidence to anybody wanting to attempt it. Though it mite just have been me![[B)]](/forums/styles/seatcupra/oldforumsmileys/shades.gif "Cool [B)]")
