click my progress thread, few photos and a bit of advice there. Also on seatcupra.net's infobase pabs has done a instruction set.

This is quite an easy mod to do. I have done this and used PABS guide to keep me right.
After you cut the 2 center lugs down to size (approx 10mm) then offer the splitter up to your front bumper and get it central. Just use a few bits of masking tape to hold it in place and you can then secure it with self tapping screws.
It might be easier to have the front of the car raised up, I did this without jacking up the car so had to use a dumpy screwdriver

Hope this gives you a bit of a clue, defo well worth doing

i just rolled mine onto some bricks which gave me the height i needed. its worth filing down all the lugs so that it fits flush as all of them have little raised bits where it would normally plug into the holes on the LCR bumper

yeah i got rid of the lugs but i choped them off with a stanley knife

Here is the guide your looking for-

I had to jack mine up when fitting it but it was dead easy only took 10 mins. Most time consuming bit was getting those sideskirt trims back on.

Little tip for lining it up, put a bit of insulating tape on the centre of the splitter and on the front bumper( if you want to be anal like me you can measure it to be exactly dead centre). This makes it alot easier to line up if fitting it yourself.

the splitter still looks flippin' fantastic on a facelift LC.... loved it on mine! Next best thing to the LCR bumper itself
