Cupra R Side Skirts on a Cupra?

[Fallen Angel]

I bought a set of Cupra R side skirts some months back and i've just started spraying them, i've noticed there is a screw either end that attaches them in the wheel are but there is nowhere along the sills to screw them too.

Whats the best way too fit these?

For want of a better description you need this sort of double sided tape. A decent body shop should be able to sort you out with some and whatever chemical you need to prepare the surfaces that are to be bonded.

Ah i see, is it like a tar type sticky pad?

 

[J0N]

Yes, it's difficult to discribe. I don't want to call it tape but it does come on a roll. The type of stuff that you need to get right first time because it does'nt like to be un-stuck for a second attempt.

I just used a self tapping screw straight in to the plastic arch liner, had no problems at all.

Yep, self tappers and some tape/decent bodyshop adhesive

Would Tiger bond be okay? I've got some self tapping screws for the ends, was just concerned about the middle section flapping against the sill

You can get the proper connectors for that from seat it works like a clamp on the sill lip this is the part number you will need 14 in total 7 each side 1M0 853 139 and this is the part number for the screws N 907 750 01 the screws come to about £3 for all 14 and the clamps are @ 80p each, they work like a vice the more you tighten the screw the tighter they clamp on to the sill.

sorry to take over your thread, but i had the same prob on each side there is two holes on the sideskirt, but not on the arch. take it will need to drill them in any suggestions

 

[Fallen Angel]

The hole in the front arches should line up, the back ones definately wont so you'll need self tapping screws and maybe a speed nut on the back of the arch liner to hold that end in place.

PhillC, these connectors your on about, i'm presuming you have to screw them onto the sill? I may just Tiger Bond them if thats the case, i don't fancy putting any holes in the sills that may end up causing car cancer lol

I have this problem on mine too although they are not proper SEAT side skirts. They are just self tapped at either end of the wheelarch. There is a slight lip above the standard sill meaning passengers getting out of the car sometimes give it a good kick with their foot on the way out. Would like to get it fixed in the middle but dont want to use anything permanent like glue. I guess it's not a good idea to stick a self tapper in from underneath near the middle section as there seems to be a flap here, I've no idea what the self tapper would be going into though?

If you don't want it to be permanent i recommend the super sticky velcro strips you can get from B&Q in either long strips or circles, i use this to hold my number plates on, they are tuff as!!

Yep that sounds like a good idea as I dont want them permanent - thanks for the idea.

Thinking of replacing mine (my better half decided to mount a kerb to park up and one looks f****d now)
Does anyone know how much they are from Stealers ? or if the ones I've seen on Fleabay are any good ???

 

[Fallen Angel]

I wouldnt bother with fibreglass ones hun, the cut wont be spot on along the top im sure, i think they are about £80 from stealers
