    How to remove Cupra R Factory Spoiler?

    I've just been looking at some other forums and utube vids, many people seem to find using dental floss helps to slice through the adhesive without damaging the paint work, applying a little heat with a gun on low setting or hair dryer before hand... New spolier ordered, OEM side skirts...

    How to remove Cupra R Factory Spoiler?

    Hi Mate, thanks for your reply. So I take it that the red plastic trim you have was simply stuck on with some form of adhesive? no screws/bolts etc? I may ask the body shop to remove and fit the new one, they'll likely ask me for further details, thanks in advance

    Quattro Cupra R Mk2 Project

    Road Test Time! So we hit the road, after several months of hard work we could finally experience the fruits of our labour! We pulled away from the garage and set off down the road, letting Kung Fu’s valves open up once again, with a gentle roar and gurgle coming from his hefty lump...

    Hi Everyone, yes sorry we didn't have the Cupra on show, we're still re-building the engine at the mo, we were all a bit gutted that it wasn't ready in time for the VW fest but we should have it back on the road fairly soon.
