How do yeou mount on a standard bumpre the cupra R lip

[crisrik]

I've just got today my CUpra R lip.. 1ML 805 903 for 40 Euros.
Seeing the mouting ears, i'm wondering hou can I put it on my standard MK3 Ibiza/Cordoba Bumper.

Can somebody help me with trick and tips..??


Cheers

Cut the middle tabs down so that they are the same height as the sides. Then just use screws and screw it in along all the little tabs. Will have to cut the ends down slightly as it will stick into the arches slightly.

thanks,
I thought that if I cut some holes for the middle I can press fitted in as the original way..
for the side you used just screws..??

do you have some pics from the under side..???

I too thought about that, but it would be very difficult as the splitter is shaped for the LCR obviously which goes up in the middle of the bumper, where as ours is flat all the way across. See pic below.

I'll try and get a pic for you from underneath.

Car is right outside my front door and my phone uploads direct to my flickr account so only took 30 seconds lol. I've no idea what you mean by your last question though.

what mine looks like from the front and how everybody else's looks

 

[ndbrgr]

I was gonna say do you mean the middle bit.

 

[crisrik]

nice rides mates..
i was a little bit tyred yesterday.. and maybe i did't expressed myself right.

My question was.. if , after the lip is up, screwd and all, if you look at it.. from the front does remain any small spaces between the bumper and the lip (of course not in the midlle)..

..I've heard that if there is any space.. it can be filled up with some black silicone

 

[ndbrgr]

No gap on the edges of mine.

 

[crisrik]

ok .. thanks for the answer..

i think. that there will be no problem mounting mine..

 

[crisrik]

I've managed to mount the bumper, the headlights and the LIP..

Oppinions..!??!

 

[chris_200120vt]

looks ok but color code the lower part of the bumper that is black and the bumpstrips will look a lot better

 

[crisrik]

i know ..and that will be a future project..
thx
