Hi scrogg

We have ordered a cupra back in February in orange.

We have been speaking to seat cs and they have not mentioned an issue or problem with the colour. Does this mean as we ordered before the change we get our choice as we paid extra for it?

Really tempted to cancel the car as this whole thing is leaving a sour taste on what should be an exciting event.

No idea, sorry.

Until this evening I wasn't even aware Eclipse Orange is no longer available to order, and SEAT have not told us what is happening with any existing orders placed before it was withdrawn.

Strange they have removed the Eclipse Orange from the Leon CUPRA. Would have though that the CUPRA would be the best car to carry that colour. I personally would only order the leon in Eclipse Orange if it was the CUPRA

Im based in Uk and have been told my order (accepted in factory 2/5/18) Cupra ST wouldn't come with Eclipse orange paint so had to choose a new colour, as far as I'm aware I'm the only person here so far......

As an update

We called CS as we haven't been told what is happening with our eclipse orange order despite emailing them on Friday (apparently in a quality assurance queue, if you believe that).

We have been told that we need change colour as well, but this needs to be done via the lease company. I am a bit miffed as we paid extra to get the orange and I cant understand the reason to remove this option the only thing keeping me sane is that we get the winter pack free as it will be a MY19 car.
