Default Little "phat" lip

Just finished attaching my Cupra R front lip last night. Two and a half hours on a cold garage floor—what do you guys think?

It's an universal spoiler made in Spain. I've seen them used for Audi TT's, A4's and Golf's, but never a Crossfire.

It actually fit pretty nice. The width is perfect, I had to trim the middle posts down and shave off some depth, our front bumpers are pretty short.


I ordered if from OEMPlus, (it took about 5 weeks).

I'd go ahead and give that one the seal of approval. Looks pretty darn sharp.

Nice work.

What did you do to mount it? I'm sure you had to drill into the bumper.

I mounted it with fourteen #10 3/4 zinc coated bolts. All of the holes are pretty far down, don't think it should be any problem if removed. I'm thinking of using some 3M tape also if I get it painted. Might also use some metal sandwich trim clips for some extra support in a couple spots. All in all its pretty damn solid, but I'm still going to be cautious with curbs and large speed bumps.

Fantastic job! I might even implement that as a substitute until the SRT bumpers start getting produced again...

Body color would look great, CF would look even better. Then again, I'm a CF junky.

Looks really good ... how difficult would the mod to the part be for a "non-techie"?

Hey Kim - Getting it lined-up and drilling the first hole is critical. Everything after that is really not that hard. I bet a body shop or even local mechanic could do this in their sleep for minimal cost.

Tp: I pre-drilled all the holes on the spoiler first, one hole for each tab, and make sure its centered. Just take your time. Good luck.

Really looks quite nice. If I already didn't have a SRT nose on mine I think that I would go with that. I would leave it black on my Blaze Red though.
