as what ive seen and worked out brackets and fixings wise its straight swap but read on here somewhere the TDi model (I think) the airguide needs to be changed of some sort :shrug:

So what did you do for the spot light issue,Did you use leon ones or take the plunge and buy face lift ibiza ones.
If leon ones work on the the face lift bumpers what year leon ones do i need to buy?

i've cable tied mine in place :whistle: before i fitted the bumper to the car ;)

put it in the locating "area", fit the grill, offer the fog lamp upto the grill and you can cable tie them in position;)
mine have been like that for a couple of thousand miles now and gone thhrough an MOT.[B)]

i hardly use mine, so couldn't justify the £80 each :censored::ban: for the ibiza OEM unit

IIRC, its the fogs of an Alhambra i think that fit:confused:
IIRC, Aimez has fitted "non-ibiza" fogs to her facelift bumper, check out her readers ride thread ;)

Yeh they range from about 24-29 quid each and to be honest alot are as good as oem ones ,only some are sealy badly made .I always ask whos made them before hand anyways.Just glad i dont need to fork out for the originals.
Took the plunge yesturday and bought my rear Cupra/FR facelift bumper and bumper spoiler with the reflectors ,came to £239 .Ive still got to get it painted yet.And my front.Does the rear bumper spoiler come already in antharite (spelt wrong) along with the reflector surrounds? Now got to get Antharite front FR grills as well as mine are Black,More flaming expence!!.
