Very good looking and price

Sorry that one won't fit lol! To be fair the description is pretty confusing...
2005 to 2012 can't cover both Pre/FL models
2nd generation could mean facelift... or maybe it means 1P opposed to 1M Leon

I've updated my post - but the description says pretty specifically it won't fit the facelift FR (which yours is going by the age)
No I don't think the models (someone can correct me) should make a difference. They changed the headlight/bumper/grille fitment very slightly between Pre-FL / FL. These pics should *hopefully* show the very subtle difference in shape (FL being slightly flatter on the bottom of the headlights/grille)

Facelift FR:
Facelift Cupra:

Actually I might just retract my whole statement... having a look at some ads on Autotrader for non-FR/Cupra FL Leons, it may be the case they share the pre-FL grille *eats humble pie*

I just took my original grill off and wrapped the chrome on it. I bought some black wrap and gave it a go! I hadn't wrapped anything before either but still managed it fairly easily (note: I am very patient and quite particular), it took a good hour to do the chrome surround on the grill and about 20 mins for the badge in the centre.
With a bit of time it isn't difficult, there a loads of tutorial video's and how-to's on YouTube, and a selection of basic tools; all I needed was a hair-dryer (YouTube always say heat-gun, but a hair-dyer will do just as well!) and a nice sharp craft knife.

Ye that was my confusion. Ordered grill and will let you know if it fits, hopefully that will put an end to the mystery.
Just hope it does fit
