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.
