Cupra R Front Lip, GT / GT-Four Front Options

[NGHTKD]

Hi 6gc,

As some of you may know, I completed a ST205 Front end conversion not too long ago.

After researching front bodykit options, there were a few options that I liked. TRD Spats, C-One front & Eurou Type 1 but after owning f/g SS-III front splitters the sound and sight of cracked fibreglass = I swore never to own a fibreglass bodykit again! So whats for plastic...

- EURO front splitters were a thought but for the price I thought I could find a complete lip:


- EUROPE under spoiler dealer option is super hot but super low. A pain where I live.


- TOM's option lip is very nice, but the middle just doesn't flow with ST205 bar although if it was moulded it'd be fantastic. Still uber cool.

Then I found this:

and again on unknown UK car:


If it can be done on a GT, then it could be put one on a GT4 front.



The lip itself was only $50 compared to the $300+ other options. Also, if your sick of the complete lip, cut the middle bit and you have EURO splitters.

It was really easy to install:
1. Align lip with front bar
2. Use tape to mock fit it
3. Move and make correction where necessary
4. Trim down the two middle supports/tabs in the middle of the lip.
5. Slowly use self-tapping screws to secure.
6. Paint if you want. After looking on AUDI forums where its a common modification, it looks nicer not painted.


*car has not been washed in 3 weeks. It still needs a little adjusting but other than that, done!

Any questions, feel free to ask

Cheers,
Cal.

Wow, that looks awesome. I'm in Europe right now, might have to snag me one of those...

Looks great buddy!

Haha thanks!

I just think for $50 (probably find some cheaper) you can't go wrong.

Looks nice, doesn't matter if comes off and its plastic.

Maybe ghetto (not garden edging though) but to me it replaces the need for EURO splitters. Less than a quarter of the price, its a full lip and as mentioned trim the middle bit off = euro splitters. Still mount them the same as EURO splitters as well.
