Well i had another play with the Triple r diffuser today, wasn't very happy with the fit yesterday and had a little more time today to play about with it.
The part that bothered me was where the diffuser sat proud, leaving a gap where the diffuser edge meets the bumper, only on the exhaust side, next to the TCR sticker, just looked awful and it had a white finishing edge, you can see it easily in the picture below -
So after a little playing about and after finding the cause of the problem, i managed to get it flush. You could still see the white finishing edge on both sides even when flush, so i touched it in with gloss black paint and it now looks spot on, i forgot to take a picture of it flush but can if anyone wants to see how it should be. Having seen some others on here with the same gap, it's a very easy fix.
I took a few more pictures today when i finished -
If anyone has had the same problem or has the problem when fitting one and wants to know the fix, i would be glad to help anyone ;-)
Looks good, I ended up using Tiger Seal and bonded it, so its going anywhere and sits pretty well, i think i was expecting perfection and i'm kind of looking for faults, but it does look so much better than before
Thanks mate. I think i was expecting perfection but that's just not possible, i'm happy with the fit of it now and it does look much better than before
i don't know if the pics don't do it justice but it just looks like a stock "diffuser" sprayed gloss black.
I would say the pictures don't do it justice then, looks nothing like a stock diffuser painted gloss black
Fins needed to be a lot more pronounced in my opinion. It does indeed just look like a stock one sprayed with a few bumps on it
Not been on here long with my 2010 CUPRA White with Pavonis black wheels.
Got my roof wrapped in gloss black yesterday and Flyeyes to fit at the weekend
Few more things I want to do
Triple R Front splitter
Tint rear windows
Revo Induction kit
Couple of good quality seat covers for work

removed my linea R grill today as its looking a bit worse for wear,carbon wraps peeling off and stonechips all over
over the winter it will get re-painted and wrapped so i put the ebay grill on,good fit to be honest and looks good unpainted

I guess if we all thought the same it would be pretty boring, we don't all like the same things but that's not a bad thing.
I think they have got the fins just right, if they were any bigger it would be too much but that's just my opinion, doesn't mean it's right but i like it.
I quite like the fact that the fins aren't too big. I have seen a custom diffuser on the net (dont remember where) where the guy had put big fins on and in my opinion it looked ridiculous, way over the top.
But as someone said a few posts back, it is a good job we don't all have the same opinion otherwise we'd be driving around in the exact same car.

Like the look of the new grill, your original would look sweet with the badge wrapped to match the surround
Yesterdy I fitted an ITG intake on my stage 1 Cupra. Took me ages to jubilee clip the TIP onto the turbo properly, popped off twice before I got it to stay!
Sounds unreal, however I have. Skirts turbo chatter so need to check if my DV has failed.

Cars gone in to be sorted today, already missing it haha. Also purchased a set of clips for the sound proofing under the bonnet as half the old ones were missing, and got one of these order, hate the standard battery cover.
