Honeycomb grill

You mean you want to replace the 3 upper slatted grilles for honeycombe items to match the front bumper?
I always thought it looked odd, the normal cupra 180 had all honeycombe grills but the cupra r only has them in the front bumper but the upper badge grille and the ones either side of the headlights slatted looks odd, i didnt think you could fit honeycombe ones to cupra r front as there different sizes?

Its the older style cupra mate, facelift id say so? You had the normal cupra turbo with the crappy base spec bumpers with the strips in them, then you had the cupra 180 which had the honeycombe grilles, the fr tdis also had them. Post some pics up mate, intrigued by this, mine was originally a facelift 180 but someone fitted a cupra r front to it with slatted grilles 
I'll post the part number for you mate if your interested
This one is a better shot of the upper grills:

That last one is perfect mate let's you see it really well
Well just popped to seat and have ordered the side grilles
1mo 853 653g 79y was £38 plus vat
And they gave me 10% off that price

You didn't mention what the middle honeycombe piece. Was made from? And how do they attach to the bumper?? Glued on?? Defo bumper off job?? Ta tho mate
You will need to cut the old slats out rub it all down smooth then cut the honeycomb to fit it and glue it into place

Definately bumper off job mate, just buy an FMIC and do both jobs at once
Middle honeycomb came as a sheet off ebay, then I custom sorted it out
Can you not just cut the slats out of all of them and buy a sheet of honeycombe to match the bumper grilles and do it that way? be cheaper?
If your happy to give it a go then go for it mate, I would still rather have the stuff off the car so I can take my time on it.
