yeah they're just clipped on, I got a plastic knife and just levered it in a few places untill tit dislodged the clips, then I just yanked them off
I pulled mine off from bottom first and pulled upwards , Just need get some nails under them
try a standard metal knife ( no need to be sharp, just thin) the second time I did I used one and it was easier. if you trial and error a few spots you'll notice some parts are a bit more resistant, chances are these are where clips are so work on those spots.
Feels like you're going to snap them in half if you try to hard, but they won't.

This is the "proper" method of removing the mirror housing for Pre Facelift
Detach the wing mirror glass -1- from the wing mirror unit -2- using the lever -T20043--arrow-.. I used a wooden spatula out of the kitchen, lowering the window helps
Whilst unnecessary, you may also want to remove the glass by disconnecting the electrical connectors, which are quite tight, as this gives better access for the next step.
Undo the mirror casing tabs -2- using a flat screwdriver.
Some of these are quite hard to see through the mirror adjusting mechanism
Remove the mirror casing -1- from the wing mirror unit -3- using the lever -U-30800-.
If no lever use a small blade or credit card
Replacement is a reversal of above except the casing should just snap on

I am just a little apprehensive about the dismounting of the glass probably based on my ham-fistedness! I wasn't intending to diss your effort in finding and posting the guide- mine were done for me, while I watched and for nothing, at my local stealers who sold me the black covers and the chief parts guy said "I'll do them" and -with a spoon.
I have one quick question!
After speaking to David @ Seremotors it has become apparent that seat have stopped producing black mirror covers, and are now only supplying them primered. So to save myself some money, i am going to paint my current FR ones black. Is this black an exact match to the gloss around the cupra grill? I presume that it will be.
Thanks in advance

Is ur Leon Pre-facelift or Facelift (09+)
If its facelift then yes they have stopped making them , if it is Pre-Facelift then no you can get cupra mirrors ive just had mine and fitted mine from Dave
Its pre-facelift (08). I spoke to Dave just before the christmas break when i ordered my Cupra Grill. I was about to phone him up to pay when he emailed me regarding the Mirror Caps. He apparently spoke to Seat UK who have decided to only make one type of mirror cap (primered) instead of several different colour types, and just let the dealers deal with the colour.
That was my understanding from the conversations i had with Dave. Perhaps he could help clear that up?
