That gives you how to fit and the price for parts, £650 isnt bad for the whole lot!!

The eBay copies will be fibre glass replicas. The fitment will not be anywhere near as good as the standard bumpers, so your bodyshop will have to adjust them, cuts bits off, add bits on and generally play around to get it to fit correctly. How much adjustment it needs you wont know until you get it. Some might go straight on, others may be miles out and even after fitting will leave big panel gaps.
Also, because it's fibre glass, if you hit it too hard it will crack or shatter. They don't flex much so don't take bumps like the standard ones do. Any bumps and scrapes will be fairly obvious and tricky to repair.
By the time you have paid your bodyshop to make all the adjustments, and have then been out and bought the grills and any other fitting bits you need, you may as well have spent the extra and bought the real deal.
Either buy new ones from Seat, or find a scrapped LCR being stripped for parts and get the bits you need from that.

Have a look on www.ebay.de there was a complete cupra R bumper on there with all grills and spots going for sill money and they posted to the uk for next to nothing.
The prices in the knowlege base article are a bit out of date last time I got a price from the dealers, give them the codes thoughas they are all correct just prices
The ebay one's aren't fibreglass, they're flexi-plastic like the OEM bumper.
Fitment probably will be crap though. Look through his feedback, and see who's bought them recently - if they're selling items at the moment, use the "ask seller a question" tool to get in touch and get their opinion on them.
I've never seen anyone post on the forum who has one.

Yes they are, they are GRP (Glass Reinforced Polyester, otherwise known as Fibreglass). States that quite clearly on the auction listing.
There is no way a little company like that could accurately reproduce body parts in ABS plastic, far too expensive!

My mistake. I didn't actually click the link and look, I remembered seeing them (about 5 months ago) and presumed it was the same as the ones I saw.
Although, now I think about it, the ones I saw nevere said they were ABS either - so I don't know where I got that notion from.

Generally speaking, if they don't mention ABS or any other material, it will be GRP. It's cheaper and easier to manufacture in big numbers.
