I was wanting to know your opinion on this: If you fit, say, a front cupra bumper ON ITS OWN (ie. without rear bumper/roof spoiler) does it have any bad effect on handling or stability due to aerodynamics?

I know it sounds silly, but only reason im asking is because I read somewhere that the bodykit from Seat accessories should only be applied all at once, due to proper aerodynamic effect coming from all 3 components of the bodykit.

Is this true for Cupra bumpers/spoiler? :confused:

i would say no if you fit the front bumper on its one its not going to affect anything

more like they dont want you just to buy the front bumper on its own so they make up a silly article fooling you into buying the whole kit money grabbing not aerodynamics!

:lol:


I've seen more extreme 'aerodynamic' kits on saxos and fiestas



... mind you, a lot of the kids driving them tend to end up having crashes - maybe we're onto something
