Leon ST - Cupra bumpers

[Majky999]

Hello guys, I am new here so maybe there is a thread like this but I couldn't find it, If there is sorry to repeat it once again.

I just recieved Seat leon ST prefacelift from my parents because they bought a new car and I am looking for some changes.
First of all, I would like to replace front bumper and rear bumper for cupra bumpers also prefacelift . The question is, will they fit ?

Next question is, If I want to also see the exhaust in rear bumper, do I need to replace also exhaust or do some custom work ?

Thank you very much for your responses !

Pretty sure, so long as its pre facelift to pre facelift it should be a straight swap - Bare in mind that not all fixings at the rear are used for every car due to differences in spec, talking minor trim fixings along the very bottom not major ones.

You can also get "Sport" accessory bumpers for the pre facelift, so that maybe an alternative option if you can't source Cupra ones.

And what about the exhaust ? As far as I´ve seen I have the exhaust completely hidden behind rear bumper, what do I need to do while replacing rear bumper with this so I can see the exhaus from behind of the car ?

I would say a custom exhaust is likely needed to support the twin exits of the standard bumper. I don't think any OEM solution will be a direct swap as 1) you may not have the hangers that the ST has for the opposite side, and 2) the pipe diameter towards the engine will likely be larger.

Yes you maybe able to get an OEM Cupra Exhaust fitted, but as it will be designed for the larger output of the Cupra, it may sound quieter or even hinder performance, so I'd say custom is your best bet.

Thank you very much ! I will think about my options and will keep you updated
