this info is priceless! the number of VAG parts catalogues and exploded diagrams i've trawled through has been mind numbing .. and finally the numbers appear. it's a pity there aren't any images but hopefully the dealer will have a clue.

thanks tomstacey

 

[thefunkygibbon]

awesome. thanks. not sure i'll bother at around £120 though.
for 60 i would have bothered. will check tomorrow/tues with the dealer to see what they say.

Big thanks to tomstacey will go to the dealer to find out how much are they then.

 

[jimiC]

yea i was thinking it seems pretty pricey for a couple of strips of mass produced plastic when the whole colour pack can be had for £380 more. will wait on the actual prices i guess

 

[Syndrome]

Apperently they are standard with the sub8 performance pack..
not seen any pics of them in action though .. any links?

I can tell you for certain they don't come on the Sub8 pack, they were on all the press Sub8 but not the customer versions.
You get them on the Black, White and Orange line packs if the options brochure is telling the truth.

 

[tomstacey]

No problems folks! I work for a German company, so always helpful to have stuff looked up in German!!!

 

[Syphon]

I asked my dealer about them a few months ago. They are a bit of a PITA to retro-fit and require removal of the main upper spoiler. I didn't fancy that.

i wonder if tardis56 realised that and instead modified the top of them to fit rather than remove main spoiler...

 

[tomstacey]

Interesting Syphon....

Looking at the Golf ones (I know they aren't exactly the same) I don't reckon you'd need to remove the spoiler? I think they'd just push on up from underneath. Especially if you used Silicone rather than double-side tape..

Did you get a price 828?

 

[Syphon]

The exploded diagram I saw had the spoiler off and lots of glue and tape involved.

Guess it's possible to fit something glued onto the glass etc, but won't be the proper fit as it's meant to be.

It seems like a lot of effort just to have a couple of bits of plastic stuck on the rear windscreen.

Do they actually serve any useful purpose?

 

[tomstacey]

Supposedly reduce drag and thus economy and performance. All economy model Golfs and the performance ones get them. With the Leon, its just Ecomotive + Cupra Black/White/Orange Line...

 

[corfyboy]

that's the part number for the side trims for the golf but I believe they don't fit the cupra spoiler I believe they fit the ecomotive spoiler that's what I've been told. my golf gtd had them on only double sided taped on had a set replaced under warranty as they started to come off.. I now have an fr and want to add them to it but not sure what spoiler I need just hearing different things at the minute

my old golf ones

Hi all, don't come on here too often!
My dealer put a set on their demonstrator (Snowsgroup Southampton) but didn't fit very well. My set are cut about at the top that fits under the (Cupra) spoiler but luckily you don't see it.
You have one chance to fit them correctly as the double sided tape sticks like a leech!! Personally I think it looks quite neat. I also fitted a MkII Cupra splitter which despite many miles has stayed put.

[tomstacey]

Great - thanks for the details!

So on a Cupra you reckon you HAVE to cut them? Do you have any close pics of the cut to see how its done?

Thanks for coming back to us

 

[tardis56]

I reckon so. I did try to take a pic but it's really tucked away so you can't really see it. It took some time with a drinker / multi tool.

 

[concerned cat]

Hmm, I'm starting to think there's a market for these. Ones that fit. Anyone in the GRP/Fiberglass field?

seriously. i mean its just a matter of crafting a mould of the shape of them and investing in some decent adhesive stickers.
if only i knew someone
