Its the Cupra R/R St/Carbon Edition splitter. So standard factory item.

Oh okay... lucky! It looks similar to one of the maxton ones!

Does the back have a different diffuser?

The Maxton one sits under either the original bumper. The R/R ST/Carbon one is much more integrated into the original bumper itself, so doesn’t sit as low.

And the Carbon and R ST have a different diffuser also in carbon fibre.

The 5 door hatch Cupra R has a different carbon fibre diffuser.

Did I understand corectly that the standard Cupra R front camber plates will increase the front camber to -2.0 degrees over the standard Cupra ones?

That was my understanding yes having seen pictures of them and compared them with my own.

BUT someone has checked the part numbers on Seats system and says they are no different. Seat in the press announcement said it was hte front uprights that are different.

I'll try find the pic, but they were off of @paddy6789 's car.

Is it possible to buy the Carbon/R splitter separately?

Yes, they are around £500-£600 though.

That's not so bad as the bog standard OEM one isn't far off that price when painted. I assume these are ready to fit being carbon? May have to save up my pennies for one as I like how it extends the lip but without lowering it so much.

When I took the bumper off, the screws that hold the bumper when through the underside of the splitter.

By the looks of it, on top the splitter is just held onto the standard bumper with double sided tape and its shape. With the screws underneath it can't come off unless the bumper is undone underneath.
