I have always thought the Cupra needed a little something extra in the way of a sportier boot spoiler. I was after something subtle and OEM and the best style I found was the facelift Cupra R spoiler.

The Cupra R spoiler was the inspiration behind this, a custom made one off. It was hand sculpted by a friend of mine at an auto care centre out of fiberglass on the car using only pictures of the Cupra R spoiler as a guide. The gloss black is also ala Cupra R style and seems to go well with the gloss black diffuser.

Im really happy with the look, it follows the curves of the tailgate perfectly. They fitted a rubber trim between the spoiler and the tailgate but I will be removing it as it doesn’t quite sit as neat as expected.

I will also be blacking out the white sections under the new spoiler so that they dont show.

:D

The guy that made it for me fitted the rubber strip because there was a slight gap between the tailgate and the spoiler. Ill be removing that rubber strip and finding a neater solution to the gap.

I've considered for ages to fit the facelift tailgate to have the FL CupraR spoiler but it's considerable work for the sake of a spoiler.

The rear does need a little something extra though.

Is there an aftermarket R style spoiler available yet similar to the one Dylan has made?

Great work btw Dylan

Hey Mike, been a while!

Yeah it is quite something to go through to fit the tailgate for the spoiler alone. I was keen on the tailgate for the LED rear lights as well. It would have made the effort worth while.

These are the only ones im familiar with, not necessarily FL Cupra R style.
