If I'm honest I can't remember how we got it out.. I think it was just a case of carefully prising it out, afaik it's held in with clips.

Thanks mate. Not looking too gods just now with the steelies on, but hopefully I'll have the cupras back on soon enough, just wana take my time with them - still sanding, onto wheel 3 (half done) lol
Wanted to update as far as I have got with the wheels, here's the condition they were in when they came off:
Plenty of kerbing...

Got them all sanded down roughly with 80 grit paper. (took forever!!) and filled in the kerbing/scuff marks with chemical metal:
Now it's a matter of getting that sanded down, then making sure theyre all perfectly smooth.. This may take a while to do, I'm giving it 2weeks lol
Nice progress mate! Looking forward to seeing them done! 
Saw your car in the car park there this week, lookin well on the steelies.

Just start a new thread and ask David for a price. He's a seat dealer, but does a discount for forum members. As far as I know, they're £20.00 for 4 of them. You can get black or grey I think.
I'm happy to take my time with them.. Shouldn't be too hard tho as all of the major sanding/prep work has been done.
Had a few marks I wasn't happy with so had to sand these out again and re primer:
All better now :

Fair enough, might as well take your time and do it right.
Off-topic, but would you be interested in going to a NI SCN meet sometime? Link in my signature.

Dead on, just thought I'd ask in case you hadn't seen the thread.
I'd say it'll be on a Sunday night some time in the near future, maybe at Sprucefield.
