Wanting side skirts for my cupra 290, ideas?

£550 is a good price, considering you have got the painting included.
Surprisingly the front lip is costing me a similar price.

The shape / profile of the sills may be different on the Golf and Leon. You could always remove one of the black plastic sill extensions from your wife’s Golf GTI and offer it up to the sill on your Leon to see if it would fit flush; top to bottom and side to side.
The Golf GTI sill extensions should be easy to remove - at least they are on the pre-facelift mk7 GTI, and I’m pretty certain the fixings are the same on both the mk7 and mk7.5 models. The installation method for the Golf GTI sill extensions on the factory production line is a number threaded studs are screwed into the bodywork along the length of the metal sills. The plastic sill extension has a number of slotted holes on the reverse side that slide onto the screwed studs.
To remove a sill extension from the Golf GTI so you can see if it would fit your Leon, there should be one or two small hexagonal shaped bolts on the underside of the sill extension. If you remove these, and then slide the plastic sill extension towards the rear of the car, it should easily lift away from the fixing screw studs behind. Not certain how far towards the rear of the car you’d need to slide the sill extension; it may be easier if you remove the rear wheel which might be in the way of sliding the sill extension back far enough to remove / re-fit it.
Part numbers for the mk7 Golf GTI sill extensions (not sure if these are the same for the mk7.5 GTI);
Left; 5G6853859B9B9
Right; 5G6853860B9B9
If you do an internet search on the part numbers, you’ll see some pictures of the fixing slots on the reverse side.
That'll be the next purchase when the front end annoys me by looking higher .
Not looking forward to forking out another £550 though.
Haha, yeah, it's being bugging me since I picked mine up. I think I'll stop there, but I'd love to change the diffuser to a glossy black.

Does anyone know what the Side Skirts from the polish seller on ebay fit like? Or does anyone have pictures of them fitted please? Reason i ask is the Cupra looks miles better with the skirts but my car is leased so paying full price for OEM ones on a car that isnt mine is a tad expensive, if worst comes to worst then il have to get some OEM ones
