Hello, I was just wondering if anyone has fitted the RIEGER front splitter or rear diffuser?
I’ve just ordered the black gloss ones for my 18 plate Cupra 300. Are they easy to fit? Any drilling required?
@DOMINIC SELLY... I have the Rieger front splitter and rear diffuser installed on my St300. The front splitter is easy enough to install,it all ready comes with pre-drilled holes.There is a screw underneath each side of the front bumper if you take these out and offer up the splitter two of the holes in the splitter will match these holes to line it up. I used a thin bead of sikaflex(silicone) pushed the splitter up and drilled 3mm holes in the existing holes and used the fixings that came with it to hold it in place and that was over a year ago and it ain’t moved a muscle.
Now the rear diffuser is a different story. Original diffuser easy enough to get off,Rieger one to install PITA. I didn’t have to take the bumper of for this as being the St on axle stands I had enough room to work underneath. It took a lot longer than the front splitter,it was just so bloody fiddly. I think you may have to take the bumper off if you have the hatch. It will be worth it in the end though. I think the Rieger gear looks so oem on the Cupra,me thinks Seat are missing out on a optional extra.

Hi mate - thank you for this. I will see how it is when they arrive, I’m hoping it’s an easy enough fit but time will tell! I might be hitting you up if I have any troubles! Did you say they came with fitting manuals?
Yeah they come with pictures and instructions but they are in Austrian I think,you shouldn’t have too much trouble. If you get any problems I may be able to offer some advice. Don’t forget to post some pics when your done.

Hi,
Where did you order yours from? I was looking at a few other options but this one looks the least boy racer and fits the car very nicely by the look of everyone elses photos.

Hi, when drilling through the remaining holes for using the front splitter fittings is there any chance of drilling into the radiator or other parts in the locality? Thanks@DOMINIC SELLY...
