Hi, I thought exactly the same leather just didn’t appeal to me when I sat in one. I have two mates that have 18 plate Cupra’s that have alcantara seats, I have been in cars around the ring so supportive and comfortable so I went this option knowing it works.I've put down a deposit on a non-Lux MY19 model, but for a tiny bit more I can get the Lux pack. I'm unsure of the leather seats - I'm guessing they don't hold you as well as the alcantara seats but is there much of a difference?
I've had the alcantara for the last 4 years in my 1.8 FR and they are very comfortable & supportive seats. They also look very similar to the Cupra seats so I'm guessing this might be partly why they stopped offering them on the FR variant as an option a good year or so back. LUX pack is very good value & the seats do look very comfortable.Hi, I thought exactly the same leather just didn’t appeal to me when I sat in one.

Collecting my my19 Cupra st on Wednesday. Ordered it about 10 months ago. Bit disappointed that Seat have decided to paint the break callipers black as standard now rather than red. Still flipping excited though!
Will be interesting to hear your take on handling and performance of the 4 drive vs the 2 FWD’s.My ST 300 4drive has arrived at the dealers.. Unfortunately it's covered by four inches of snow currently, so no pictures. I shall be getting it early January, because of taxation changes (yet again in Finland) .. Well at least there's plenty of time to get the engine heater installed and get it pretty and cleaned.
Oh, and this one's my fourth Leon Cupra overall:
2009 240hp Cupra 1P
2014 280hp Cupra 5F
2016 290hp Cupra ST 5F8
2019 300hp Cupra ST 4Drive 5F8

Of course I should of taken note of the flag, however that many people now use Proxy's I've learned to ignore them haha.Probably you'll get first impressions of driving on snow and ice first... I currently live on the Arctic Circle, Lapland (not Crapland as the British tabloids posted a week ago). Plenty of snow outside.. I bet it'll be a blast in the snow. I loved the FWD and the Front Diff with the proper handbrake (yuk, is the only word for the electric one).. I am of a rallying people you know
Okay Solution is more power hahahaBut I can't imagine the 4drive being faster on grippy tarmac. At least when I test drove one in 2017 it was not as exciting out of turns compared to my manual fwd... A bit too easy to handle.
You have a 5 door or ST?
£50 does not include fitting, I was also thinking about how this would look against the the new copper logo. Could get the rear badge professionally wrapped to match the front logo. even easier if the badge isn't on the car to start as I can send it away. I do like the flag so a bit of a dilemma. Its not like I'd be ricing my new car as they've came standard until now.
My rear 300 badge has already been picked up by someone else on here. The flag part is currently sat outside my back door after another bodged attempt to plastidip it. Think its just to cold outside at the moment May just have to buy the front black flag at about £30.
You need a R Chassis number as well as evidence that the original part is damaged in some way. The Copper, Carbon and unique bits from the R are made to order by a third party.I want to get the copper lettering from the R, but Seat say it’s not available.
Just seems ridiculous for the Cupra lettering as we have the copper Seat badge, but I have the Mystery Blue car so the black Cupra lettering is VERY hard to see in anything except bright sunshine.. it’s really annoying..You need a R Chassis number as well as evidence that the original part is damaged in some way.

For R/Carbon parts I believe they also now require the original damaged parts to be sent back, although that may not apply to badges.
When my infotainment starts up sometimes it displays CUPRA in copper and other times it just skips it. Also when it comes up with the copper cupra screen it looks like there's a dead pixel under the U, but it's not a dead pixel and shows up on other folks pictures I've seen on here. Very strange.Just seems ridiculous for the Cupra lettering as we have the copper Seat badge, but I have the Mystery Blue car so the black Cupra lettering is VERY hard to see in anything except bright sunshine.. it’s really annoying..
The car should have been shipped with copper lettering and black flags front and rear... it’s even more pathetic when you realise how many of the black/silver/red flags are still on the car..
I don’t know about anyone else, but my infotainment system doesn’t have the copper seal logo on it, which is supposed to be part of the week 42 changes.. has anyone else got this?
As far as I know, there was (and never was) the option for gloss black outer plastic trims on the 290 or 300 (and 290 again) for order in the UK, so how on earth does this car have all these factory fit items? Was there an option in Ireland for this, or even over in Europe?
It’s driving me mad as I’ve never seen it before and it looks so much better than the textured grey/black plastic on every other Cupra.
