If it's not in the way or you don't need the cash I would keep it personally. Even if you just sorn it and make it like new again while not being used

Lost a jacking cover the other day not happy. It was my good one too. The other was broken and the wrong colour.

Got my new one through so painted it yesterday and fitted just now.

Wasn't too bad in the end

Let's just hope these stay on. The others were drilled and held on with metal wires. I'll have to make sure it replace the wire more often to prevent it snapping.



Do they fall off or get nicked? Be tempted to drill a hole and cable tie mine on

Drove to work in it for the last time.... It goes in part ex tomorrow.

Still, at least I will finally get my 335i! I will miss the Leon loads though, despite being an expensive car to keep on the road, I did really enjoy owning it.

They fall off all the time. It is a common problem. I drilled mine and wrapped metal wire between them holding them on underneath. I also used double sided carpet tape rolled under the top section to stick them down but still came off. Judging by a scrape on the underside of the skirt the wires must have been snapped having hit a rock or something so then they just work themselves loose.

Cable ties would be better but would but means carrying a pair of snippers and spare cable ties everywhere you go in case of a puncture

Turn them in "up" position, start from bottom which is loosest part, get a flatblade screwdriver in and then prise round with finger tips and they popped off
