Cupra bumper inserts painted?

[jenk]

Are the bumper inserts on cupra painted? Mine look like they have a metalic fleck to them so presume they are. Got a little idea up my sleeve and i want to repair the screw holes were the number plates have been attached.

paint code would be helpful

Cheers

I think they are yeah, or the plastics different anyways.

They seem more lighter shaded than the normal black trim anyways.

Hope they are painted and i can get the paint...........not to keen on this exhaust

yes been through this argument with my dealer, as mine were flaking. He insisted that I had painted them which i did not and had the car from new. In the end they found they came in black or anthracite finish. so make sure they order anthracite if they are flaking!!!

They are painted but not sure on the code, mine are painted same colour as wheels, just matt instead of gloss...

Yep, the VX is goin strong mate cheers, probably as theres nothing to break on it The first SEAT part will be going on it very soon, any guesses at what it could be...

Really do miss my Ibiza though, it certainly seemed better at "Making Progress" (overtaking!) on the Peak District's B-Roads... And that De-Mist button was a god send!

The plastic is like that from the factory, im 99% sure it isnt painted, it doesnt look like paint either as the plastic is very soft... They just dye it like any other plastic shades so im afraid your out of luck there mate. S7N is Arctic Grey...

Youll be best off re-painting the lot.

Also just a quick note, if you turn the exhaust down underneath the car, the arse end will stay cleaner (yay!) however the internal exhaust drone will get louder and boomy (boo!).

They have a metalic fleck to them so thats what lead me to belive they were painted. Might be able to get a close colour match.

Oh no! Is it having a LCR splitter

The exhaust is still a way off yet, other things to do first.

 

[jenk]

Anyone any idea on the colour code??????????????

 

[Ad Lav]

Pop into Halfords and check out the codes under Seat section, or guess and get a colour similar?

 

[jenk]

Theres 1 seat colour in halfords.....red

I want the same paint as I only need to do bits, number plate holes etc.

I suppose a call to a dealer would be a good idea but I cant think of a good one round these parts.

 

[Ad Lav]

Take a fog light cover off and try to match it?

I would give you my code but it doesn't match.

 

[jenk]

Thats a good option or I could change the colour of them completely.........nimbus grey

It needs to visit a bodyshop soon as some paints chipped off the boot lid, seems the edge of the boot and rear bumper have been rubbing causing the paint to rub away and now chip a big bit off
