you cupra looks like youve got no wheels or a belly scraper.ando said:Just got the Cupra 2 weeks ago but bloody hell, I must have hit the front bumper skirt about 30 times so far... does everyone have this problem???
Coming out of the shopping centre car park today I was certain I had broken the skirt, I heard a loud crack but everything seemed ok
how low are you riding.
You get used to the horrible sounds of the splitter scrapping after a while!They only cost around £16 to replace so no big deal!
The R has a reasonably low front splitter but thtas what its there for. It sounds worse than it is and £16 for a new one is obviosly alot better than £200 for a new front bumper!
As low as you thinl the R is trust me its easy compared to scraping and trying to drive into, let alone of car parks with the tiv!! You can buy a new one for under £20 and the y clip on easyily.

she's completly stock mate, the picture doesnt show the angle of the ramp well
You soon learn what slopes you can and can't take easily.
There's a level crossing down the road from me with a mean looking slope entering it from one direction, but it must look worse than it is as I have never caught the splitter on it.

Im scared to go into Multi storey car parks too!
How do people with 'really' low cars manage?
I have had 3 new trims on mine!

Cant tell how low it is in the pic as it so foggy there....
I just avoid multistoreys and go over ramps slowly at an angle, it scrapes but the splitter takes a lot of abuse and is cheap as chips so i aint fussed.

When going up or down ramps turn from full lock left to full lock right.
This slightly raises the front end of your car (only slightly so no mountain climbing attemps
)
I learnt this while driving in my corsa.Couldnt get a deck of fags under it.......................................... flat on it's back

Funny we should talk about this today, because I turned off the road with a vitara behind me and saw a bit of a dip so slowed right up going over it and the ****** blew his horn at me!
Needless to say when I went VERY slowly over the speed humps!
I just can't believe how impatient people are![[:@]](/forums/styles/seatcupra/oldforumsmileys/furious.gif "Furious [:@]")

I woudnt want it any other way to be honest
A nice bit of scrapeage means you can crawl past nice windows and look at your car in them, you can revel in the fact you have a HOT car and also it slows down some of those impatient people!
I cant wait to get the suspension done on my car and i will be SLAMMING it, i love the look and feel of a lowered car so if i cant get in multi stories i will just park somewhere else
I have to say though its 'Each to their own'

Have a close inspection of your top mounts too, may be that these are long past their best and need changing! ;-)
ando... think urself lucky ur not lowered! 
i scrape my sump/under engine plastic cover more than i scrape my splitter!
i dont scrape my splitter that often because i take sleeping police man and slopes etc very slowly.... im lucky my old car was lower so im used to it in my LCR!
