Cupra r rear diffuser

[Buzz123]

Haha I am not running that fast with mods only thing that holds me back is money. shame I don't have lots of it.
The colour, the colour, ermmm! I think I am gonna go with glossy black as I already wrapped my rear valance matt black and doesn't stand out at all. as going for the all black theme I think this will fit the best. and as my car is purple it will stand out alot more.

Think its more gloss than matt if you mean the actual diffuser

That looks nice!

So what parts do you need, just the diffuser, exhaust and a decent body shop?

 

[Buzz123]

I am gonna fit mine myself don't think you really need a body shop. maybe a good vinyl wrapper or painter.

I am liking that is different with the carbon fibre lip. and matt black still is on the top bit

 

[GrahamFR]

Lol its got a carbon fibre lip because I cracked itt reversing into something, only a bit on the top left but I could notice so decided to cover it

 

[Buzz123]

So I have just ordered my cupra r diffuser from www.caraccessoriesplus.co.uk
And looking forward to it painting and fitting

 

[Invincible]

What exhaust your going to install with it?

 

[Buzz123]

for now standard cupra r one but looking to buy a BCS exhaust system soon

 

[DAZFR72]

Buzz do u know the price for the BCS exhaust ?

 

[Buzz123]

Right guys the diffuser came today so anyone have a how too on it?? do you have to cut the bottom of your valance?

 

[Jmate]

There is a thread isn't there with a tutorial... ?

Its pretty easy:

Use small self tapper screws ( Dont bother with the pop rivets that are supplied with the kit {If you bought from dealers}) to screw the plastic trim bit onto your original valence ( or a new one)

Then mark out the two cut outs for the exhaust, just draw straight lines from the "arches" on the new trim piece. Then cut them out using a jigsaw or a stanley knife with a saw blade on it. NOTE: This does not need to be accurate whatsoever because the diffuser trim is glued on top, hiding everything.

Then put a bead of silicone/ adhesive ( Tiger seal or similar) { supplied in the kit if bought from dealers}) on the top edge of diffuser trim and bottom edges of the original valence, then put the diffuser trim on top and clamp together or hold together with tape!

EASY!

Then get it sprayed gloss black .....

Then bolt on a Milltek and enjoy!!! BRUUUUUUURR

Buzz good choice I did this conversion to my cupra its an easy mod, the exhaust note completely changes when you give it some beans !! The best way to chop the existing exhaust is either on a lift or remove the system , what your plans for diffuser colour wise ? I did mine black as my cupra is white , I have seen diffuser in white . Bet you do the mod very soon knowing what your like with previous posts !!! Warp factor 9 buzz !!!!

where can i buy that back box from or was it custom made? any ideas...

 

[andyccr]

Mine is the one with the white diffuser !

There are pics on here showing the build thread etc

 

[Smee]

so im totally confused on how you fit this splitter

am i correct in saying you guys are bolt or pop rivotting the bracket to the original diffuser and then attached the Cupra R bit all before spraying??

its sprayed as one and fitted as one?

if so how the feck do you get it to fit??? clearly i must be attempting to put mine back on wrong as it just wouldnt go back on.

i started at Top (Above number plate) and worked down. should i have started at the bottom?

 

[Masterkm]

The standard Diffuser Smee?? Whenever I put it back its from the top work your way round. Done it many times within 10mins

As far as I know, its fitted together off the car, then sprayed as one, then fitted back. Can you not bond the Lester diffuser to the OEM one?

 

[Smee]

so when i tried to remove my current one i got to the first bend on each side. could see the clip was about to break so thought order a new one and push this one back on.

effectively this means i got to get the 2 clips on each side back in to the home they came from.

i can not see how you get both of them in as due to the lipped nature of the clip i dont see how you bend it without breaking it.

 

[Masterkm]

The clip should not break tbh, done it a few times and it can be seen that the clip becomes a little weak at that point.

Try bending the diffuser a little bit and sliding the clips into the holes. Hard to explain tbh, if the weather wasnt bad I would have made a quick video to show removal and fitting but it really is easy mate
