I have not really looked into it, just did a quick search on images. Looks a bit low. Does that not get ripped to pieces by the random height speed humps that plague London?

I have one and I'm lowered 30mm and only time I've scraped has been parking nose first over certain kerbs.. Never scraped on a speed bump yet.

Could you post some pictures?
We have the same colour (sprint blue) so will be easy for me to imagine it on me :D

Yep - what he said ^^^^

Whip that last odd one off, and screw on a cupra R splitter - much nicer :-)

Is it a direct fit? Does any adjustments need to be made?

Used to be cheaper, but now you can pick them up from a Seat dealer for circa £45.

1. Jacked the front of the car up.
2. Cut the lugs off the splitter and trimmed the centre legs down a few mm to fit to the shape of the bumper (use a jnr hacksaw or dremel).
3. Offered it in place and taped it into position to see if it was all equal everywhere.
4. 10x Self tapper screws later and bada-bing!

Deepens the front end and finishes the bumper how it should of been done from the factory.....superb mod for the money and 2 hours start to finish....(Including driving to the dealer lol)

Wow pretty awesome, and cheap.

Is there a step by step guide with pictures? Does sound pretty straight forward but I am pretty crap with stuff like this lol
