RIP Cupra R Lip

[Slo.Mo.Shun.]

Today on the highway I caught some balls of nylon on my Cupra plow and almost tore it right off. Good thing It had 22 screws and betalink adhesive.

The bumper is fine, is just cupraless.





A new one is on the mail already.

what the fuck is a ball of nylon?

[Echo3One]

That sucks man. Who did you purchase the new one from?

[SEXICÄN]

I'm thinking about buying one, but I will rip that right off my car :(

[cstarky15]

hahha, i was thinking a tennis ball. that sucks though. was it just barely hanging on?

[Sharkfin]

22 screw? no wonder that thing stayed on....so why not just reattach it?

[CZA420tAvant]

F'ing tumblweed??? sucks man.

[Slo.Mo.Shun.]

It was a smaller version of the tumble weed, but made of thick white nylon, when I got home it was hanging underneath the car by maybe 5 screws. On the pictures you cant see it, but its pretty fuked up.

I got it from www.OEMpl.us they have 5 in stock

[Slo.Mo.Shun.]

Funny thing is that I did not feel anything and saw them going underneath the car just fine.

I only notice when going inside my garage. I heard something rub and it was the lip underneath the car.

tumbleweed did that to your car?? daamn

Im from Chicago and I was totally joking when I posted that pic.
I guess it has some truth behind it.
Better tumbleweed than potholes.

sucks being low, I hit someone on the freeway once, thank god i didnt have a splitter

[Geoffafa]

damn dude that sucks. I'm thinking about jumping on that lip next week though :) why not it's a great price

[pretarion]

Where do you buy the Cupra lip from?

[agkellyboy]

i have one in stock too

[Bigswede]

Well I can say that the cupra lip is no fan of speed either. I was in Germany this past weekend, and there are still parts of the autobahn that are "no speed limit", so the car was pushed and... I mounted the lip with 22 Pop rivets 4mm x 16mm. I thought it would stick like a mother... but no... After 3h of 105mp/h ++++ and some a little higher ;-) it looks like the front 2 rivets are done but atleast I didn't lose it... Will reattach the 2 centerones again but with larger rivets since the holes are now 5mm...

Hope it all works out for you
Best regards

That is odd, I have done way more than that ( Desolated highway ) before it all went down the drain, and it was on solid like a rock till it final minutes.

[Slo.Mo.Shun.]

Any time.

[Bigswede]

Mine is still solid except for the two center rivets that are almost out.

Wow

[Geoffafa]

well vic, at least yours was just a splitter... you will be able to see pics of my boo boo soon :( very sad day for the smurf

[quattrosaint]

love mine, taken it past 140 and its still on there. If you put it on right you will never have an issue. I even have the two posts in the middle attached with a little custom plate underneath that cant be seen.

where can you get one? i don't see it on oem.pl's webite. also whats the cheapest place? i noticed there was a group buy awhile back for 100 shipped. is there a dealer here in south florida that has one as well, i noticed half the price was shipping.
