Maybe get a copy of the Haynes repair manual as I'm sure that it indicates which orientation they need to get fitted in, I'll check my Haynes book tonight,

As above it shows you the correct orientation in the Haynes.

Also I think there is a guide on here for the Ibiza Cupra Bushes that show the correct orientation

Yup, just checked it (Haynes repair manual 4608 section 10.8, but as for the Seat Ibiza Cupra solid bushes, maybe as its a TDI engine you should check out the "increased revs noise" that seems to come to some TDI engined Fabias + Polos + Ibizas after fitting the Cupra bushes. Me, I got these bushes fitted to my wife's 2003MY Polo 1.4SE a few years ago and there has not been any complaints about extra noise/vibration.
