[Damo H]

Anyone has the part number of the black grille flag of the new cupra 290?

Still working on it, it’s currently in back order for me.

Picked up my Cupra sub 8 today. And spent the afternoon cleaning it as the car sales gave it to me in disgusting condition.

That’s a chrome one painted and works out about £50 delivered in the end.

Been quoted £34.?? delivered for the genuine item. It’s just waiting on them being able to get hold of it.

Does anyone know what glue should I be using to fit a MD rear diffuser? +what screws please??

Also having an issue with closing the drivers door, need to slam them to close seems like the locking part gets stuck and doesn't catch the door each time. Any ideas how to fix or any part numbers if need replacing would be appreciated.

By MD Do you mean Maxton Design in which case I took the rear bumper off (2014 cupra) and used the supplied bolts to attache it - no glue was used and its been on there a while and been on the track a fair few times with no issues (so far).

All I did personally was screw a few extra self tappers (from the inside of the bumper) into the diffuser.

Cant help with the door I am afraid but if you are after part numbers I always use this site

Maxton design, yes
Mine came without any bolts so need to get something myself
More or less, in total how many have you used?

I will go and check later today, Do you also have the wings if so I found it impossible to get bolts to a place I could bolt them up so in the end I used M4 32MM Hollow wall anchors they did the job and had no issues.

 

[Deleted member 103408]

@Miguel 7 Been outside the wings require 3 bolts on each side.

The main body requires a total of 6 bolts (the centre section has 4 and the outside has one on each side.
What I did was then screw in on the inside of the bumper to add a screw on each of the outsides.

I have pictures of the underneath if you want them just shout but from memory there should be pre drilled holes on it.
The actual Wings come with some double sided tape to hold in place.

@theoldboy
Thanks for the input
Mine seems to be different as is all one piece (FR) with no predrilled holes

 

[Deleted member 103408]

No problem sorry it did not help, Did you buy it new or second hand, if new the web site shows it comes with a mounting kit and based on the picture it is a set of bolts, the picture on the website also shows it has some holes.

 

[Miguel 7]

new, but no screws or predrilled holes on this one.

[Deleted member 103408]

OK I understand now you have the Rear Valance Set, Sorry I was looking at this one (which is why i said it had holes already https://www.maxtondesign.co.uk/body...at-leon-mk3-fr/rear-diffuser-seat-leon-iii-fr

Considering I drove a 3.5l v6 to go collect my little derv, I still really like it, but wished it was DSG for my commute

Removed the snow filter from the stock air box...never heard of this mod until this morning but it took 5/10 mins and it's a simple tweak

[Deleted member 103408]

@paddy6789 Does you car have both sides of the air intake open or is it still just the left hand side.

I'll find out later - I'll remove it and see what it has (or what it doesnt)
