Installing Front Fog Lights Cupra 280?

[NathanCarley]

Anyone know if it’s possible to wire front fog lights into the cupra 280? Is the looms already there, is it a plug & play? Just need to get FR grills with the cut-out & the fog light unit?

On the Cupra there are auxiliary radiators behind the grilles (one for manual, two for DSG). The Cupra grilles have holes to allow air to flow through, whereas the FR grilles/fogs will not allow air to pass.

I have a Manual. So is it not possible to fit them then? Do you know if the grill space is the same size? Here is a couple of photos I seen with Cupra having fog lights.

The first picture (red car) is an FR bumper with Cupra grille - there are not the 4 x slots above the front VRN plate.

The second picture (white car) is a Cupra bumper with the fog lights fitted - assumption here is that the aperture is the same or these have been reworked to fit. This still doesn’t answer your question.

The fact that the car is a manual means that there is still 1 x aux radiator - the Cupra puts out more power than others in the range, thus generating more heat. The car has a larger coolant capacity (using additional heat exchanger) to compensate for this.
