I have the OEM side skirts. I think they go very well with the car and should come as standard to be honest.

Do you mean genuine ones or aftermarket?

Plenty of genuine ones can be found if you try a search. I particularly like @theoldboy's new aftermarket ones.

White is my pre-facift car with OEM side 'skirts'.
Grey is my facelift with OEM Side 'blades'.

The 5 dr cupra skirts I like. Just feel that the FR is missing something. I was thinking of a boot spoiler but I think some nice side skirts would be better.

The seat side skirts are the nicest option but they are about £380 and come primed and need painted

also wanted skirts and a spoiler but i have now decided that i am not going to bother as the cost for them is just bonkers

Painted OEM ones can sometimes make an appearance on eBay for much less than rrp

Very rare, i'm yet to come across a legit rear spoiler on eBay that's reasonably priced.
I've never seen a spoiler but I've seen a few sideskirts. There's currently a set on their now but for the 3 door.

Genuine Seat sideskirts should come standard on the Fr and Cupra imo, really adds so much to the car. And you can get lucky on Ebay which is where I got mine, painted and all in the right colour, good to go from a Seat dealer (£250). Anytime a dealer is selling them, if they sit for any amount of time, they put them up on Ebay at a discounted price. Worth keeping an eye out.

They look nice. Fibreglass I assume. Where they alot of work to prep and fit???
unsure as the paint shop done it. they charged £150 and i was happy with that. as the post above says, they should be standard fit on atleast the Cupra. even side blades like the Golf GTI's would be nice as a standard fit, i always intended to get the polish spoiler aswell but i sold the car before i got round to it.
