Hmmm,  :sad1:

Bugger.  I'm going to order another set of fabia ones in that case I think  :sad1:

Let me know how you get on with new bumpers and if you try adjusting the bumpers a bit more sticky out.

My last though is try the custom ones in 510nm with my
Bumpers sticking out a touch more

I have another set of bumpers I will try tonight, I'll extened them out a couple of 'clicks' and see how it goes.
I will report back tomorrow, hopefully with a working solution  :happy2:

Wow, thats a fair list you've got planned  :happy2:
Im waiting till next year to do my brakes, got 370mm TTRS fronts from DaveB, and Cupra rears from Dave sat SERE.
The total opposite of weightsaving  :ashamed:

What is the part number you got for the bumper? Ive taken one off a car at work its got 6K0827499 and 3C5827499.
Not sure if they are the same as the ones ive fitted to the car already.

Yea they are lying in a box in the spare bedroom, they have been for over 6months  :laugh:
I am on the hunt for a Cupra black headlining and pillars though.

I'm looking forward to seeing the rest of your dash when the flocking is finished.  :happy2:

The guides I've read are for the golf.  All the way in maybe ideal for the golf and not the Leon.

I will click the bumpers out 2 clicks and get the ones from struts direct  :smiley:

Sorry Damien I'm gonna need to keep my bumpers

2 x 1K8 827 761 C (Scirocco bumpers). Only a tenner at dealer for pair.
