Photo looks good but the first thing i thought when i saw the pic is that the rear bumper needs replacing :p nothing wrong with the pre back it's just the cupra rear is so much nicer

cupra rear is so much nicer mate, cant wait to change mine from pre-facelift to cupra ;)


Thanks, i just think the pre-facelift looks cleaner and smoother especially with the debadged boot! I've come so far, the bumper is definately going on dont worry! :)

Btw, Cupra rear is the same as FL FR rear....

Yeah mine was off an FRI TDI :)

Yeah, just everyone calls it a "Cupra rear" when its actually that and a FL FR rear.

Limiting their options! :lol:

Car's looking good mate! Keep it up :p

I know, it's easier to type cupra instead of Cupra/FR facelift rear though :D

Thanks mate, if only it was an FR :(

But its easier to type "fr rear" than it is "cupra rear" :lol:

You'll get there mate, we all have to start somewhere! I had a 1.2 Corsa as my first car, then moved onto my FR. Give it time and hopefully you can get one :D

also the 1.4 sportrider bumper too :)



dont go and upset me now. pre-facelift bumpers look like F all twice :banned:

I'm sorry! I do like the Cupra but am starting to think it will look dodgy with car been the height of a block of flats!?

I think it's called Cupra bumper because the Cupra was first to have it back in 04!?

Looking good mate, it can be difficult to make red shine but you've managed it!

Car's coming along nicely. What mileage is it on if you don't mind me asking, it seems to have a lot less stone chips than mine! :lol:

I'll be pleased if my paintwork is in as good a nick as yours at 75k!

My bonnet has loads of swirls which are only visible really in certain light conditions, like you say, I'm feeling a machine polish in the summer! :D
