Slightly?
They are worth around 30% less, don't let anyone con you into thinking otherwise.
Plenty over-priced CAT Cs and Ds out there though

Interesting, where did you get a replacement bumper from for 50€?
Do you have a link? Cheers
Thanks for the heads up, found a black one on ebay but might hold out for my color or try and find a new non painted one. Did see some FR bumpers that look just like my cupra rear bumper that could be an option?
Was advised by the third party insurance to call my insurance and not make claim but for them to log it as Information only and that the third parties insurance is sorting out hire car/repair.
Also received email from my insurance confirming that and that it will not effect my no claim bonus.
Don't forget ncb is not the premium. You keep the ncb discount but the premium which you get the discount from will probably be higher..

I hope your claiming for the headaches and whiplash you have got. Also the nightmares blah blah blah.
That will fill your pockets with cash.
On a serious note. If you have no plans to sell car then it doesnt matter if it gets deemed a cat D.
If you have a good en keep it.

That's exactly what will push everyone else's insurance quotes up, because people think that you have to claim for whiplash just because you got into a slight bump.......
I was driven into twice in the last year, I probably could have claimed for both of them, but I'm not a ****.
if it is any help i got my lcr rear bumper wrecked i couple of years ago and claimed through insurance, jake at panelcare (member on this forum) replaced it for less than a grand (that included some smoothing and painting) so if you can get similar i would have thought it wouldnt be a write off? was a bit of a treck for me but a whole day faffing was worth it to sort the car out
It's a used bumper which needs a full paint:

It's in an overall goodshape so I went for it.
I guess the only issue will be the ends of the wheel arch inside covers because the CUPRA R have a diferent bottom shape.

How much did it cost you to re-spray it?
LCR rear will bolt on ok but note:
1 the exhaust opening may be slightly different.
and as above you will probably need some wheel arch liner extensions, (ie where the wheel arch liner connects to the bumper may be a different profile.
FR should be the same.

last year I had someone hit my FF in the front resulting in a few cracks and dents to the front bumper, The garage I took it too for repair did fantastic job and repaired my bumper at fraction of the cost of a replacement, might be worth getting yours looked at before you buy a replacement bumper.
I've a friend of mine who owns a garage and will do it for free. But should do between 70€~100€.
If i had an option to buy the car back and wanted it repaired with 2nd hand parts, what would i have to do if i bought it back as CAT D to get it back on the road? Does it need a new MOT after repairs?
I have read CAT C needs to be inspected (VIC check £50).
