Can any recommend anyone/anywhere to get a new set of jack point covers for a White Cupra K1? Just off the phone to my local dealer and they want £17.50/each primed. Robbing *******s!

:)
 
I get mine through the Seat Dealership in Belfast, 2 pairs of jack points for £30...its a stroke but try and talk them down to a round figure...

Mine fall off all the time...guna superglue them on next time and regret it straight away when i need to take off the wheels :/

rIanbow top tip i found on here , secure covers under neath skirts with clear cable ties , lot cheaper than buying new covers .:funk:

If the car is still under warranty, you may be able to make a claim. I managed it when one of mine fell off. Seat will replace after a dealer inspection showing no signs of damage to the area concerned.
 
lost 3 over christmas this year and lost 2 last year, seats new stance is they will fall off wtf? so you can claim on your warranty.
so i have asked them if its acceptable that bits fall off a car once its moving ?
will keep you posted but i will not be paying out my ast month of warranty so they can stump up lol

if enough of us complain them they need to do something about it

your last month of warranty and you still have that car rob! :blink:
 
When I had my tyres changed one of the covers fell into my hand. Turns out the bit of plastic that holds it into the skirt had snapped off and it was holding in there by the miracle of prayer lol

When I book it in for them to finally get off their a**e and sort the bloody rattle out. I'm also gonna claim for a new one :D

I've owned the car just shy of 8 months now. And to be honest I had less hassle with a £500 1.2 corsa (1995) So, any freebee's I can blag from them, due to me having to booking my car in with them, because they cant fix a problem 1st time round (breath!) is worth a go. Heck i got my valet and a new badge off em. I'm sure they can stretch to a jacking point cover :)
 
Snow builds up in the skirts and covers and because nothing much holds the covers on, they fall out with the weight of slush and ice. Pretty poor design really.
 
I just took the covers off in the snow in mine last year bud. I had 4 cover replacements in total during my 3 odd years with the car as memory serves.
 
Still unsure if i will add the skirts to the new car - sure they enhance the looks, but they are an expensive hassle too :(

Why not go all out for the new year. Go completely bonkers and get the whole aero kit!! You know how much u love it. And it clearly makes you go faster once you add the special badge ;) lol

Skirts do look nice. Am just paranoid now about the covers falling off :(
 
To be honest, I am kinda regretting getting another Leon. The new car with all the options is much better than my old one that had none, but I realise now I would like all wheel drive for its ability to lay down power with minimal wheelspin. DSG would have been nice too.

Dont think I will keep this one too long which means outlay on it will be minimal.

For sure, do everything you can to ensure your covers dont fall off though bud. Buying them is one part - you have to get them painted too, and thats even more expensive than the piece of plastic itself.

Lol i'll be gettin the cable ties out!

I hear what your saying, living where you do obviously brings a different driving experience into the equation. Did i hear from a post of yours on another thread, theres gonna be a 2.0L turbo, DSG, 4wd coming out called R20?

I take it thats gonna be a possibility
