First post.
Greets from Finland, great forum you got here.
Ordered parts for cupra bumper Ill be fitting my Cordoba asa I get them.
So couple of questions I was just wondering about..
Will the original foglights fit the cupra one (orig cordoba bumper is the same as your prefacelift (non-fr) model ibiza one in case u were wondering)?
And you havent been too bothered about the panelscrews and other tiny little bits´n pieces in your price/part lists, so shouldnt I get them also as were obviously talking about pennies here and a lot less problems with hair falling off from scratching.
The reason Im bothering you all with my pitty questions is cause I think Im the first to do cupra bumpfit in Finland so not much help here. And also looking forward to flash the local dealer with my preknowledge with this![[B)]](/forums/styles/seatcupra/oldforumsmileys/shades.gif "Cool [B)]")
And sorry about the language. Seems to be bit rusted from lack of use
Thanks!!

Welcome to our domain!! Its great to have more people from oversease here!
They are a straight swap, no problems at all.

The original screws are used for the Cupra bumper also, so no need to worry about getting more. You will only need 2 dark coloured screws for the fog light covers as the original bumpers use clips instead.

No problems mate, this is what this FAQ is for. Please dont apologise about your English, its better than some of the Brits on here!
PLEASE NOTE: If your engine is Turbocharged, the Cupra bumper will block the airflow from getting to the side intercooler. Taking a fog light out only cures this 25%, you would really need a front mounted intercooler.
Good luck
if i was to go for the cupra bumper on my sport will my foglights just swap atraght to the cupra bumper???
Hi guys, im new to the forum, so take it easy on me!
Im about to buy an ibiza 1.9tdi sport (pd130) (pre-facelift 52 plate) of my brother on the cheap, but it just so happens that he hit a rather big dear the other day and smashed his front bumper, which is a bonus because i wanted to change it anyway!
I'd like to go with either the facelift FR bumper or the cupra one. Am i right in think the facelift FR front bumper will be a direct fit without having to change any other parts?
What exactly needs changing if i wanted to fit the cupra bumper? would i need a fmic?

Rich,
Spend enough time on this forum and you'll soon be wanting a remap! That means you'll need a FMIC which cant be fitted with the sport bumpers so thats why people put the cupra/facelift fr front bumper on the sports. These bumpers dont work well on your car because the sport's SMIC will get no air-flow.
I think its a case of working out what you money you have to spend and when, and if your not planning to do the work yourself it'll save making more trips to garages than you have to and paying them to take bumpers on+off twice.

And if you decide to go for the fr facelift bumper (so you don't need the fmic), then you need new fog lights because they don't fit from your old bumper (but they fit the cupra bumper)...

Is that a definite?
You might wanna add to the list
6Q0 955 453P fluid container
2D0 955 465B seal
444 955 647 plug
with certain reserves
since I dont know is it just me with my scandinavia spec model or that theyve put in all the models with headlight washers that 4,5litre container and you need the smaller 2litre version to fit the cupra bumber, wont fit it even w/o foglight.
Cheers!

cupra bumpers
H,
Quick question, is it possible to put 06-07 cupra bumpers onto an 04 SX or would i need the 04 cupra bumpers
Thanks in advance
Ant
P.S. Also would it look silly to have 06-07 bumpers on a 04 car
