Wasn't sure which is the correct way to fit the side-skirts...

Or doesn't it really matter?

personally the red leons lines flow better from the skirt to the front bumper, but to be honest personal preference

Sorry, I meant side-skirts!

Does it matter if they are fitted as they are in the 1st image? (I've done mine like that) will there be a problem accessing the jacking points etc?

Number 2 the correct way, this follows the lines of the aero bumper.

Personal preference though if the jack points are same distance in.

to be honest it depends on which bumper is on, BTCC looks better with sideskirts sticking out from the front.

They have a new type cupra in my local dealers in white with them on the wrong way round:blink: I pointed it out and they said Seat put them on wrong??:think:
I thought they were dealer fit...... Unless you had a K1:whistle:

Stoke Seat.........

Thanks for that, but now I am concerned. I have ordered a white cupra from them with front aero bumper and side skirts. I think I will have to speak to them because I want the skirts fitted the standard way (wide part at the fornt).
