Anyone got Cupra 300 with Side Skirts?

Has anyone got any photos to share of the Cupra 300 with the original side skirts fitted (not the new blade type).

I'd be interested in seeing what they look like before I purchase as I can only find pictures of 280/290 with these skirts and I want to see what they look like with the new 300 wheels.

I havent seen a pic of a 300 with side skirts but would put money on them improving the aesthetics of the car whatever the wheels ;) If I go for 300 St next year I will be removing skirts from my 280 and installing on 300.

I've just ordered a set of side skirts from Poland (£104 delivered on eBay) Will need to be primed and painted but they look pretty good in the pics. The 300 ST certainly looks more complete with them!

There are a couple of pictures on the Seat Leon CUPRA 300 Facebook page.
It's a blue 300 with the 280/290 upgraded alloys and side skirts

Don't have enough posts to paste the URL

If you go on the page you'll find it in the pics

does the 300 use the3 side skirts like on the 280/290?

putting side skirts on my 290 black was best thing I ever done as I hated the exposed side sills.

wondering if I could take those off at the end of the lease and put on a 300? that will be two years up in jan 2019. will be here soon

It seems like the 280/290 ones will definitely fit. I ordered a 300 with the new blade skirts but I much prefer the 280/290 ones.

Leasing company just ask that you return the car to how it was, but I know that some mods are ok to be left on if they're approved.

Yeah agreed the older side skirts look better

The 5 door is the same she'll and dimensions so they will fit. The front bumper has been face lifted but hoping the front splitter I have on mine will fit too

It's defo going back to how I got it when I hand it back. Bit of filler here n there where skirts were bolted in. But the last lease car I had the check they done over was laughable and prob won't look underneath. As long as there are no major dents or scrapes they seem fine.

Yes oem side skirts fit any varient 280/290/300. The only differentiator in skirts being 3 & 5 door body styles with 5dr fitting both hatch and st. Body hasn't changed just cosmetic updates.

The TRC splitter doesn't fit the new 300 (and FR??) but you don't say which one you have. Had to leave mine on my 280 when I traded it in ☹️

Think I've spotted them on Facebook but not a very good angle to see what they really look like. I also want to see them with the new 300 wheels.

I've sent the skirts to be painted up now so will post some pics when they are fitted later in the week. All the photos I see of the 300 are with the blades and do nothing for the car. Looks like not many have gone for the previous skirts which I prefer as they had a nice profile matching the car.

Yeah there aren't many pictures just a couple of the mystery blue in colour and one black and white of it.
I've been trying to find a pic of a 5 door with the blades and sunroof in white.

All the one's I've seen have the performance alloys and I don't rate them much.

Looking forward to those pics of yours

I rang them and they were looking for a car to make a template from (for a free splitter) They'd need it for 2 days.

Does it have to be the 300?

Heres my 280 with skirts:

Unfortunately your photos are not showing.

I know they look good with the 280/290 Cupra wheels and the FR performance alloys, but I wanted to see them with the 300 just to see how they look with the new wheel design.

they look cracking fella and nice work. are they oem ones or the polish numbers?

much prefer the 290 skirts on the 300 as the oem ones look a bit small and ineffective.

what colour is your car btw? I think I will go silver or dark grey once my lease is up.

Was wondering the same about OEM or Polish. I have the latter, arrived yesterday but I've yet to unpack them as been too busy!
