As speaking for complete drivel take a closer look as the one that was being mentioned was my old tdi cupra replica as pictured on this ebay add item 271137128240 so I didnt fit the bumpers to my current one.

Hopefully this clears things up a bit
Leon cupra tdi generally upto 04/54 basically complete cupra spec with diesel engine
Has cupra 17" starfish alloys
Then came the FR tdi (some 54/mostly 05/ some 55)
Rebadged as fr (black f red r) different 17" alloys, silver mirrors, rest as cupra spec
Finally came the fr+ which was a run out model (55/06 plate)
Keeps silver mirrors, fr badge goes all red, comes with cupra r front and rear bumpers, comes with 17" versions of cupra r alloys
Hope this helps

Maybe wrote that abit wrong shall we say it was a model introduced to clear old stock etc before the mk2 the fr was still available
As i said before that one is not the one i own now i own the black one in my avatar now
So what year is your current one?
If its not an fr+ im afraid it has been retro fitted by a previous owner... Either due to a modification. Or accident repaired
Well all i can say if its all been done retro fitted then someone has done it to a excellent standard and its got more features than the plus with cruise and leather but as far as i know it was a +
i know everyone calls the leon fr with cupra r bumpers on a leon fr + but was that the actual name for it because im sure it wasnt.
Its an 04 but im happy with it how it is so if someone did all the work then good on them as they made it better for me what ever it may be lol

I agree it is easy, but slightly exaggerated lol!! You have to the 6x pins on the top by the slam panel, then there is 4x torques on the front (cupra bumper) 2x cupra r bumper, then half the wheel arch, which doing it quickly means jacking the car for access, or steering either left to right. Then there the fiddly 8mm's on the wing sliders 2x each side. disconnecting fogs, that senser, I think it must be crash senser, 3 crossheads underneath too. No way is it ten minutes haha, took me about 1 1/2 hours on my drive with no jack etc
cupra r tdi, where abouts in Gloucester are you? I think you've said before but I've forgotten

Really? :O
On my old fabia vrs i had it down to 5mins so i assume the leon is similar, i was being kind with 10mins
No it isn't a ten minute job lol, got to take grills out to access screws, bolts in wing which cant be accessed through the ttop of wing as you will know they're closed, and it isn't the first time I did it either. I took it off pointlessly to access the fmic, which is behind rad lol. So, I used hp air to clean I/c. Could be done easily in half an hour if it wasn't freezing outside and it was on axle with two fronts off, like the forst time I did it on a ramp and was quicker, even working out what had to come off. Very kind with ten minutes lol. Doesn't help at all if the car is lowered too.
I have home made drive on ramps.
Lock to lock will access arch screws.
I just cant see it taking that long, had my fabia and mk4 golf front ends to bits numerous times and its not that hard imo
One day in the summer i'll have a crack at it just for laughs and see how long it takes
