That bit is REALLY Annoying.. even if they'd changed them all to black.. There should be a flag on the boot and steering wheel... They didn't remove them from the R, they just changed it to a flag/R hybrid... but it's still there!!

Looks more gold then copper perhaps - the blue doesn't look so bad actually. Not sure about the red, but the original picture wasn't great.

If I get time I'll make the CUPRA on the boot black and play with the badges a bit.

Don’t forget the black callipers

That’s more gold, need to adjust a bit of red in there as well

Edit - Should be able to adjust it with The channel mixer.

I’ve put in a request with my claim manager for them to try to get red ones back into my ST.. being built next week and it’ll be more than a miracle if it happens, but if you don’t ask.....

I think the biggest issue with the changes on the blue isn’t actually going to be the copper, it’s that in a lot of lights the CUPRA won’t be very obvious in black, and they’ve removed the flags... may as well de-badge it completely and have done with it...

I actually prefer the black callipers and I think a back flag will look good too...but just a pity there won't be many of them on show.

I think the red calipers just show it off a bit better, but that is obviously down to personal preference, and there will probably be a pretty even split on here..

However, I absolutely believe there should be AT LEAST 2 flags, probably 3, in either original OR black.... Front grill, Boot and Steering Wheel.. Trouble is, I can't seem to find one online anywhere to put one on the boot myself, as from what i can see, they've only ever done the black one on the grill, as the R had a hybrid flag/R badge... I did see one, but it looked like a dodgy reproduction..

Ask Mike at Listers for a price on the badge. If it’s available he will be able to help and it will be genuine.

Or contact @Damo H. I think he’s probably going to have one he might not need if he rebadged his Carbon ST.

Damn, that copper Seat logo looks like ****, especially on the front of the car...

Hate my choice of desire red!

 

[indyjones]

Wonder what they will do with the chrome 4Drive badge?

The flag is a little annoying, although it's only the on the gearstick surround and the steering wheel that I will miss.

You do realise those where ‘questionable’ photoshops.

Edit - It’s also worth noting that although replacing the badges will be expensive, having them wrapped isn’t. I think I’m either going copper on my carbon, and going for the full Cupra R ST look, or going for Carbon Fibre wrap. May try it myself before asking a professional if I make a mess of it.

But fair, not sure if its my screens (iPhone XS and PC) but it was 24k gold not copper.

Happy to see your efforts

^^^ The Cupra R image is probably the closest we have at the moment:

Its funny you should say that, a mate at work wants to get one so warned him about the copper.

He wants white, but may get black, so currently doing it for him on a white car...

..doesn't help those of you who have ordered red/blue though.

But this is the image I've started with. Better to start with a big image first...

http://www.dennishorton.co.uk/seat/new-cars/leon-cupra/

...and this when saved is massive 8468 x 4842 pixels.

 

[bluehandle]

Gold, copper. Either way I'm not convinced.

Just have to see when they arrive.

Glad I got my 300 in the bag before all this sillyness started.

 

[Damo H]

I was really tempted to troll everyone and put a really bad Photoshop up, but I can't be bothered.

Original Cropped...

Photoshop, black flag, black calipers, copper badge and copper wheel centres...

And comparison with an R badge from the previous posted photo...

 

[Brooster89]

Looks good

I need to do a better photo to be fair. That image has clearly been photoshopped already, but didn;t realise how much. However I wasn't editing that bit. Will now do it on a real car, just want to find a decent sized photo.
