They do look great on the Cupra. I'm a fan of the Cupra's stealth look but the side skirts give it a much nicer stance which I think it lacked a bit.

Needless to say I'm jealous of your order!

I've ordered the side skirts for my Cupra. Saw them fitted to an FR which was parked next to the dealers demo when I ordered. Finish the car off really well in my opinion and well worth the price.

The orange detailing on that car really does look awful. That car was at Geneva and had the Brembo TT-RS brakes on it, the only part of that car I'd like mine to have...

The skirts are nice, but I can think of better ways to spend 700 quid. A set of 18 inch alloys, for a start.

I think the skirts set the car off cant wait to see them in the flesh, we were just under £600 supply and fit. For the price of the car they should be standard although we looked at a S3 everything was a bloody extra, so stuck to the SEAT Stable.

Just seen this German Vid for 280 (free Scarf incl) LOL

They do look good agreed, but it's the price. Will probably end up with some Rieger skirts and maybe there front lip at some point.

When we saw our car on Friday the misses thought that the ripple effect from where the underseal stops half way up the side sill and then painted the same colour as the car was a reflection off the tarmac until I explain this to her and also that we are having side skirts which I was keeping as a suprise. She is now a happy bunney as she thought the sills look awful as they are.

Each to their own, etc. But it is a silly amount to pay for something which doesn't increase the performance of the car. They should be standard (like bucket seats). My old fellas new Guillieta has nice skirts as standard.

What you have to keep in mind when throwing more cash on these "extras" is it takes the cost of the car closer to S3 / Golf R territory. For me that completely defeats the idea of buying a Cupra in the first place.

Couldnt of said it better myself and I really do think SEAT and other brands need reminding of that. If i wanted to spend same money as more premium brands like Audi and BMW I would have bought their cars. For me, if I didnt get a good discount with a car I would have probably leased a car or bought a more premium brand.

I suppose this is why Kia and Hyundai are doing so well nowadays.

My partner also thought the sills looked awful, but when I told her the side skirts were about £700, suddenly they were not that bad.:lol:
