I’ve got a Black FR and wanting to add some side skirts, front splitter and rear spoiler. Want them to be fairly discreet just want to finish the car off. Which parts are the best and where from?

You can get side spoiler extenders and a spoiler lip. There discreet and look amazing. Yes me or the other. I prefer TRC splitter and they will fit for £40. Maxtons and reiger websites are shocking. Side skirts not to sure about.

These bits are a very personal choice.

Some web sites to check out

From memory Reiger you can buy off there web site for uk delivery so have to do that via ebay

There are loads of guys now doing this sort of stuff on Facebook just make sure you get for the correct model of car you have as they are not all the same.

Maybe get the genuine Seat Aerodynamic "Sports Styling" kit if you want discreet, should help at resale v aftermarket kits.
Not cheap mind, you can get genuine parts from sgpetch or seataccessoriesplus, but the dealer at lookers manchester pretty much matched online.
They come primed so would need painting and fitting by bodyshop/seat.
Parts £1,000, Painting and fitting £650.
I'm sure it can be done cheaper but I wanted it done properly and happy with it. There are some polish shops on ebay doing replicas much cheaper, not bumper though.
I got the rear bumper done too and think this made the biggest difference to the look. Squares it off and gets rid of the large space of plastic around the reg plate.

Hope this helps in someway!
of course other options available

Yeah does make a big difference. I’m far too tight to spend that sort of money. Will have to go aftermarket I think. Yours looks great

I looked at SG Petch at the beginning of this week for a genuine SEAT roof spoiler and side skirts and it came to £490 delivered, not bad. Checked again Friday, £606! WTF!

These genuine SEAT side skirts are already painted midnight black from the factory for £225 which is a bargain. That's if your Leon's a 3-door! There's usually lots of pre-painted genuine SEAT roof spoilers and side skirts on Ebay, but this is the only one at the moment. Worth keeping an eye out, as it would save you a fortune on painting.

Good find, make sure to check which black you have though as mine is phantom black not midnight. It might be slightly different?

Haha I'm too tight for that too, as others have said ebay is your friend just a case of being patient. Also keep in mind you can but parts in a different colour and wrap them/have them wrapped in the colour you want. Cheaper than a re-spray.

I thought the original Seat Sport Styling rear bumper came with twin split exhaust with 1 exhaust tip on either side?
You can choose, i didnt bother with the twin exhaust as it was another £500, happy with original.

Got them off ebay, they have VW oem markings on them but easy to copy i suppose, £22, but they look the same

Have you got a link? And do they go on top of the stock rubber or do you have to peel/take off the stock ones?

Thinking I might go Rear Spoiler and Front Splitter. Gonna be a fortune for everything and I’m too tight to part with too much money. Are the Rieger ones the best? Just want a finisher rather than something OTT
