Cupra R Bumper Inserts

[Damo H]

So currently the R Grills are all black, but I'd wrapped my 'flicks' in 3m 1080 Matt Metallic Grey:

The replacement grills have been painted fully body colour, so they'll look like this:

But I'm contemplating wrapping the flicks in matt black to create this effect:

I like both styles.

Finally got them fitted. Excuse the rust and condition of the wheels. Haven't used the car in 4 months due to being out of the country.

Hey guys!
So I’ve purchased these & they are currently in the bodyshop having the ‘blades’ painted mystery blue (same as the car)
Now I’ve read through everyone’s comments, but can someone do a mini ‘how to’ guide? (No liability on them lol... just so it’s all in one place if that makes sense)
So, step 1 turn wheels, step 2 remove arch guards etc etc.
I obviously don’t want to damage anything, and just want peoples actual experiences that have fitted these!

Thanks in advance!
Darren

Can anyone help? or fire me your number if you don’t mind so when I’m fitting them (next week I think it’ll be) I can maybe ring someone just to talk me through fitting them I really don’t want to mess anything up lol...

Cheers!

There's more than enough information in this thread. You shouldn't need anything else.

I took the full bumper off to do mine.

Others have just taken the arch liner out (as you describe turning the wheels and doing 1 side a t a time) and pushed and pulled from each side. However that way you can;t reach the top tabs as the fogs are in the way

Finally one person I know just ripped the originals out without doing anything.

This is the guide on the bumper, not a pleasant job the first time you do it...

Thanks @Damo H for that...
I’ve had the bumper off on my old 280 fitting an intercooler, I’d rather not do that again lol...

I’ll try the wheel arch method first I think
Failing that, rip it all out and bond the new inserts in if I break anything haha

Thank you!

You won't break anything on the bumper. The clips on the fog inserts will be the only thing to break if you don't free the clips. I was careful with the first one and it took me quite a while to get out and I broke 1 clip. The 2nd one I literally just brute forced out and did zero damage.

Hi guys,
when doing the grills did you disconnect the fog lights (did this leave an error on dash?) or leave them connected and manage to cable tie them out of sight ?

 

[Glennc91]

Nah no errors, just cable tie them out of the way and its as easy as that

 

[Axu]

no errors
