Hmmm,

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

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

Whats next for the Money Pit anyway?

Wow, thats a fair list you've got planned

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

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.

Have you bought your rears already?

I will dig the part no out after lunch has settled

b9rgo1234 · « **Reply #336 on:** November 13, 2011, 02:58:32 pm »

Yea they are lying in a box in the spare bedroom, they have been for over 6months

I am on the hunt for a Cupra black headlining and pillars though.
I finish at 5 so I will try the others when im home.

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

Got it sorted

I fully compressed the bumpers, then pulled them back out 2 clicks, retightened and refitted. Works every time now

I will try and get a video up for you tomorrow

the scirroco boot lid popper things. when they are fully compressed they are just a touch too short.

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

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.
