Cupra/FR style bumpers

[RachIbiza]

At risk of sounding like i dont know my ibiza models that well i just wondered if anyone had swapped their standard mk4 bumpers (like what ive got on my 130 sport diesel!) for the better looking (in my opinion) bumpers that come on the cupra or FR for example? i can get the bumpers for a couple hundred quid and i think they suit the car better, but i'd like to know how much work would be involved in changing them! ta

Remove around 20 torque screws, pull bumper off, lift new bumper into place, replace torque screws.

Very simple job in my eyes. Its not quite as simple as i stated but not far off to be fair.

there are a lot of threads on hear mate i have the 130 and changed front and rear bumpers best place to look to look is ebay.Got my front one from there and my rear one from main dealer couldn't get one any were at the time.

thanks for the replies, how much was it from a dealership mate? (yes i'm too lazy at this time of night to find out myself haha) if its as simple as that then i'll do it! ta

when i got mine goin back a few months it was £235.24 comes in 3 bits even theo the bit in the middle is part of the bumper

Fr/Cupra bumper was £162.04 10% off so was £145.84

Rear insert was £51.53 10% off so was £46.38

2 rear reflectors was £8.86 10% off so was £7.98

But i bet there are a lot cheaper now

i went on ebay this afternoon and they had a front facelift bumper on there but its not a cupra or a fr bumper just a facelift one.the same place i got mine from was in good nick as well was £110 i think hope this helps

Get urself on ebay the one for 110 quid he has loads, many have upgraded too it Via him, Good trader , its basically the same as the fr one so .. crack on

The only difference between a facelift FR front bumper and a normal facelift front bumper is the number plate insert is matt black instead of body coloured.

Here is a thread that explains it all... http://www.seatcupra.net/forums/showthread.php?t=187464

this is one of the bumpers of ebay just used matt black vinyl behind the number plate and cut the number plate down a bit. they are a very good ebayer got my bumper in 4 days and very well packed to.

is it the motor in motion one? for £111 delivered? i think i'm gonna go for it and wait for a rear bumper to come along. would it look odd if i had a cupra front and just my standard rear?

Those are not Cupra bumpers mate, they are just standard facelift ones that can be modded to look like FR ones!

 

[RachIbiza]

have you still got 16's on yours? also wondering if the new front bumper might make my wheels look a bit odd as the FR's come with 17's maybe i wonder too much!

[RachIbiza]

Iv got standard 16's on mine til summer

 

[RachIbiza]

i am keeping my 16's obviously same wheels as yours - getting them done satin matt black and its getting lowered asap - got the springs. your wheels look good with that bumper so yep i am sold i think just gotta get it and get it sprayed!
