Guest, 🎅🎄Looking for a stocking filler idea? Why not treat yourself or a loved one to our high quality CUPRA or SEAT valve caps. Order now from the merchandise store
Ok I will endeavour to do one! Although from your replies sounds like it might not be needed!
Anyone got a clue as to if it's simply bolted on???
I've got a 2001 X plate cupra in red - it has rust issues. The boot went - done udner warranty 3 or 4 months ago, both rear arches have gone (although 1 is a replacement panel) and now the front drivers arch - pi$$ed off really as they shouldn't rust like this!

Nope - not near the sea!
TBH I hardly use the damn thing as I work in Central London and have to commute in (shudder!)
But yes it is shocking - it has more rust on it than my 1990 pug 205!!!
Seat wouldn't do the rear wings - even though one was original, fair enough on the other one - but they pulled up some bollocks about it being road debris! Got them to do the boot tho!

It will just be bolts, 10mm at a guess, bumper, head light and sideskirt will more than likely have to come off. To get the sideskirt off you will need something like a drill as its riveted each end and phillips screws underneath if i remember right.
correct, all bolts - mostly covered in underseal
you will be lucky to reuse the existing wing - but basically remove front bumper, remove arch liner & then undo all the bolts you can see
mind the door when you take the wing off, else you'll scratch that too
pretty easy to do though

You can get away with dropping the front bumper on the side you are changing and just need to remove liner from the wing not completely remove..
tis indeed all bolts.. have to remove or drop side skirt if memory serves correctly.
