Some time ago, I got some new parts for my Leon (as you can read about here).
Recently, I installed them. It was a pretty straightforward install, except for one part that I had to trim.
I installed 4 parts:
5Q0501559C and 5Q0501560D (cover for the suspension arm), 5WA501715A (Golf 8 Axle beam cover) and 5Q0 825 206 J (rear exhaust tunnel cover).
I can confirm: they all fit. However, on my car, the suspension arm covers were not a perfect fit, because part 3 and 16 of the following graph got in the way. 2 spreader rivets were needed and I added an additional cable tie for increased security. I had to trim the notches at the part that clicks into the spring seat.
Installed covers:
Almost forgot to write what it brought me: noticeable noise reduction! I have no idea if it also improved mileage, but we'll see in a few weeks.

do you understand the difference between 5Q0 825 206 J and 5Q0 825 206 L? I cannot find any difference…
One seems to be slightly less long than the other. On my car J fits perfect

Thanks! That's looks like a nice addition to the car :-)
