cupra r vents. how easy are these to fit?

[brad1]

hi there
just wondering how to fit these and are they hard or not
cheers

hmm... i think it´s a little bit tricky to install only the middle ones (which are on the picture) without changing the right position, and also without breaking for fingers...

 

[Icecavern]

you need the whole vents, then it's easy. But just changing those will be a real nightmare.

 

[D3m0n]

and before you buy the whole vents for lots of money, you could also buy the vents from the old Audi A3 (in Germany it´s called "8L"), then you got illuminated vents... looks better, same price!

 

[Ruddmeister]

If you are going to the hassle then buy the whole units from the S3 which are illuminated

Where can you get these from and are they expensive??

Any Audi Dealer

Should be plenty of info if you do some searching..........

Don;t forget you'll need to run power to them although it's meant to be DIY-able

Robdon Fitted these back in the depths of time

Some A4's have them too, I'm not sure if they are exactly the same size.

i don´t think so

 

[brad1]

could anyone give me a link where to buy the illuminated ones. if any about . or does anyone know where theres any for sale
cheers guys for your help

 

[CupraUK]

i don´t think so

Don't think that they are the same size or that A4's have them? Some models definately have them.

These look nice. Company called TMT Tuning do them, I've never heard of them. These are Passat size, I would imagine that they do Golf IV size

Those are very nice, although i'd want to colour code it to my interior red. Methinks some playing about with LEDs will be called for

That part is changeable but its a different size on A3 vents so need to fiddle about a lot!!! I did that on mine so i had red bit on A3 vent but it was about 4 years ago so memory bad I do know it was a fiddle tho!!

sorry...

i don´t think they are the same size!

and i also don´t think that vents from Golf IV can fit... only A3/S3 and Leon/Toledo MK1.

 

[phil739]

look great ...

someone must know which and where to buy for fittment to a leon

 

[brad1]

i like the way the threads end up total different to what the topic is about lol
anyway cheers guys. might just buy the audi vents

 

[budsowna]

back to the original question!

i've just re-fitted all the pieces in the middle vents and those middle ones are fiddly because they're metal and don't bend as easy as the plastic ones. a bit of patience and they're good as new

 

[brad1]

so budsowna, this job can be done?

 

[budsowna]

yes, carefully & you might have to take one of the plastic ones out just underneath, i found it easier!
