That is actually the setup I have for winter wheels - came with the car.
It is a pitty, cause these wheels are really not meant for this and even with me babying them they are now full of scratches...
They do look well though. Are they the genuine 18” cupra wheels (don’t get them in the UK all are 19’s) or replicas!

TBH, I never even driven it like that - had the bra on the shelf for ages and decided to see what it looks like.
I got a gigantic crack on my windshield and it needs to be replaced anyway, plus my hood looks like the moon surface.
Problem of driving in a country where they gravel the roads and where cars have spikes in winter tires is that every now and then either a pebble or a metal stud flies at speed at your car, or even worse, windshield.
This is my second cracked windshield in less than 1 year...
I got a big road trip coming in February to the Icetrack and for sure that bra is gonna be on
....to drive around town, ich don't think so. I also dislike the looks.
Either way, in case someone wondered what it looks like, now there are some reference pictures.

I have heard conflicting replies about that - ended up doing it at Seat dealership, since the insurance pays it, and they said it does need calibrating - next time, since no point in replacing this one middle of winter, I thinking will do it in some other place, but they also seem to have all the gear to calibrate - so I am going to say you need to, yes.

But it sounds like not having had it done last time did not seem to cause you a major issue, I also have seen many post's on this issue and in the UK my understanding is the insurance company will adjust your premium for the re calibration (not the window)
As an aside in Finland have you got many people who have the front wrapped with a clear vinyl to protect the paint instead of the bra.

Last time it was done at Seat dealership - they calibrated.
I don't see cars with the front wrapped - most people here don't give a toss about their cars, which is sad.
Winter is pretty harsh on cars...

OK Missed that on the calibration,
I was talking to an english guy in Alaska recently and he said the same, Roads and conditions are harsh and cars are treated badly.

My car is getting front/hood and the most exposed areas protected with PPF before I get it delivered
I've bougt them (pic in this thread) on ebay from this seller (https://www.ebay.co.uk/usr/santig60) but I see he only has the orange ones at the moment.
Talking about these bad boys? If so there in the Seat accessories catalogue however looking back I wished I’d bought the 18 s to whack some winter tyres on. But then again I like the diamond cut on these ones.

Thats very nice. Is that the Seat splitter? Works well with the side skirts.Talking about these bad boys? If so there in the Seat accessories catalogue however looking back I wished I’d bought the 18 s to whack some winter tyres on. But then again I like the diamond cut on these ones.
