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.

The cost of shipping that from the UK would be much much higher than the cost of the part, so not really an option imo.

Do Seat sell in Mexico? Maybe worth checking out?
