Might need to relocate horns and towing eye depending on model age.

definitely not straight on, its about 2/3 hours work from start to finish.
towing eye, has to be removed if yours is not a screw in type(angle grinder)...horns relocated....temp. sensor relocated....lots of the plastic removed around the raditor and intercooler.....new arch liners fitted....think thats about it.
hardest thing i found was removing the old bumper and then wondering why i had so many screws left over and nowhere for them to go, odd

Its easy, I said straight on because it requires no major mods.
Fair enough if it is a fixed towing eye.
Horns can be relocated to underneath the battery.
Temp sensor will plug into the front bumper.
They don't need new arch liners, just some extension - all of 10 minutes work.
The arch extensions and bumper securing guides are really a part of the bumper.

Seat.
Believe Sam has a part number - I don't have one to hand I'm afraid.

i have those part numbers, to me, they look like full arch liners.
must give seat a buzz and actually fit them. never bothered with my bumper
Looking at the etka drawings the spats are individual parts...the liner is something else....not one piece. will dig part numbers out:)

They make it look much neater and all the crap off the road must get shot into the front bumper without them.
thanks for info, so any liners an such parts come from seat. like the car bigfella i just got mine back from paintshop 2day got all my lolour coding done too looks good.
Don't see the point of the arch extensions tbh, mine's not got them with the LCR bumper and there are no holes ... the arches don't touch the edge of the bumper, but there's plastic mounting structure behind to keep the dirt out.
