If SEAT did Cup splitters...

[Ally]

...they'd look like this

Before:

After:

Not the best pic as I just finished fitting it and it's a bit dark. It's a Leon Cupra R front splitter modified to fit on the front of my Ibiza Cupra (just involved a little trimming of the splitter at the ends and a couple of slots in the bumper). Quite a common thing to do with Ibizas. Mind you I've only had the car 3 days and already changing things FFS...

I think it's got a similar effect that a Cup splitter has to RS Clios - a small bit of plastic but makes a huge difference to the appearance. And the best bit?It was only £20.71 from my local SEAT dealer!

Opinions?

Cheers
Ally

 

[Craig]

looks alot better. thats not a bad price for it aswell

 

[Ally]

Cheers, I think they make it cheap because they know loads of Leon owners will more than likely rip theirs off accidentally sometime. At least then it's a cheap fix...

 

[bendee]

20 quids a f**king bargain lol looks loads better.

 

[riz]

yup thats y i got one on my 182

 

[rory182]

christ, the modding begins.

roofrack fit?

 

[Ally]

Yeah, I'd stuck a cup splitter on my FF 172 when I had it too - just makes a huge difference IMO.

 

[Ally]

christ, the modding begins.

roofrack fit?

LOL I know, not hanging around

New fitting kit for roof rack was ordered on Tuesday...

 

[R20 CWH]

quality wee mod for £20.

reno take note!!

 

[Djw John]

Got a part number Ally? Type of thing they hold in stock?

 

[Ally]

Part no: 1ML 805 903
I think the official name for it is "Seat Leon Cupra R front lip"
I paid £17.63 + VAT, dealer said he always carries one in stock (again, Renault should take note)

It was the correct width for my Ibiza (i.e. I didn't have to chop it in the middle), but I had to cut approx 4cm off each end as it was long enough to touch the tyres. Really easy job though.

I'll try and get some daylight pics tonight if I get a chance - that pic above isn't the clearest.

 

[Justin]

much better mate

 

[Beef-Mc]

Much meaner now :evil:

Good to know that you could just walk in and buy it and it didn't cost the earth for it!!

 

[_Tom]

Alot of people put them on Glanzas. I was very tempted. Looks quality rather than a stuck on random splitter.

 

[Owen]

yup thats y i got one on my 182

Is it just a case of chopping the edges to stop it fouling the tyres on the 182, or do you need to chop the middle to take some width out of it?

Sorry for the thread hijack....Looks cool on your ibiza!

 

[Djw John]

Seafield didnt have 1 in stock but have ordered it no problem.

Phone was answered straight away, guy was helpful and polite and knew exactly what i was talking about with the proce off the top of his head. Was all very odd to me having only dealt with reno for years!!

 

[john182rs]

Same as Ownes post if this splitter will fit a clio 182 easily with only having to chop off the ends slightly then respond now as my dealership has 4.. yes thats FOUR mr renault man you plick.

Think I still prefer a Cup splitter on the Clio, but considering the Cupra R splitter is a quarter of the price and is less common, it's a viable option.

You fitting one to your Coupe John?

 

[tommyboy]
