A front bumper I have never seen!?

[Superswede]

I have seen some videos on YouTube where cars have been fitted with a bumper I have never seen before, seams like some base model trim bumper?
Could be it's not just available in Sweden.
Do you know about it?

Damn looks ugly hopefully not a mid facelift thing. Just ordered a formentor

So did I, hope it's only a base option on certain markets, think one of the pictures is from Mexico

Maybe some safety regulations of said countries. The teeth like fins on the current model would hurt a pedestrian than the ones in the pic

 

[Superswede]

Yes could be that also!

The very large gaps in that lower grille means the a/c condenser is pretty vulnerable to damage from projectile stones and other road debris flicked up by other vehicles.

Hopefully Cupra dealerships in the countries where Formentors with that front bumper are sold have a ready supply of replacement condensers ?.

Hm, that doesn't sound good, can't imagine the roads and conditions in Mexico is much better than in Europe!?

You'd want some stainless mesh in there. Paint how you want, teeth would be my choice.

Well that's pretty horrible, easier to clean though .

Happened to me (Mk6 Golf) in England. AC Condenser made it about 15k miles or so. A rock/stone made a hole, sadly.

Based on the licence plate holder, I am guessing these vehicles are for north/south american markets.

 

[Superswede]

Yes, seams that way, I belive both pictures are from Mexican cars.

Just watched a spanish video bout that, seems to have two trims there called “mid” and “high” instead of V and VZ. And the mid has that front bumper. Cupra is really weird concerning trims in different countries.

Yes, in Sweden we don't have the V trim but we have a entry level trim just called Formentor, and we only have VZ, no VZ1, 2, 3, Sweden is a very small market for Cupra so maybe they want to keep it simple, but weird it is...
