So.. Finally ordered a magnetic grey cupra, leasing company just emailed me to say provisional date end of next month... Ordered about a week or so ago. Not entirely optimistic that it can be that quickly here but we'll see.

Kinda regret getting magnetic grey now think I wish I got black but hey ho, havent actually seen either colour in person yet.

I went the other way, ordered black regretted it and then changed my order to grey. Still not sure I got it right, thinking I should have ordered red!!!

Do you have a link to it, this looks good.
There is a nack to applying it. I took a portable hoover & microfibre cloth to get rid of any dust which being new was very little. Start from the left and smooth air out when applying. You get two in the pack so one is affectively a practice run which is good.

Magnetic grey looks great, my pictures dont do it much justice but it has a really nice sparkle, I also have the LUX for anyone intrested in how the leather seats look, i'm not a photographer so the pictures aren't perfect but there's an idea for people who may be curious! :)

Out of interest who had theirs delivered to home?

Mines located at DM Keith (about 260 miles away) and I'm concerned it'll arrive with scuffs on the plastic door panels where you enter exit the car along with a whiff of mcdonalds from the delivery driver.

How did you get the door lights red. Mine are blue and can't find the damn setting to change them. I also can't settle on the digital cockpit view. Not sure which one to stick with!

Mine was delivered from dm keith on Monday. The bloke was in his 60's heavy smoker on cigars. Delivered car with pigeon **** and dust all over the exterior from where it had been sat all week at the dealer.

Ihope you don't live out in the sticks either cos they have to find their own way back walk/bus/train. Great setup really...

I had mine delivered at home luckily it was on a trailer with 4 miles on the clock it did have some marks on the mat drivers side and some marks on the plastics where feet had been on it - sadly like you it drives me nuts, but in reality they wont then follow it up with a wipe down as much as it annoys me it its not being realistic.

I had my octavia a few years back delivered by someone driving it and it was fine, my experience thus far has been ok regards delivery...except mine was the wrong colour, but that's another story :flag:

Looks like i'll be collecting then, I'm a non smoker so any small whiff of smoke I pick up really easily .

They probably didn't bother cleaning it beforehand because they knew they could blame it on the journey for the dust/****.

I'm in East Sussex so yes I'm in the middle of nowhere.

Did you noticed and scuffs/dings inside or out?

I like to detail my cars so like things looking on point, any foot scuffs would piss me off. I know it's going back after two years but...

If you go into vehicle settings, theres an option called lighting, something like that anyway, it's there you can change it. Mine are actually burnt orange, goes well with the copper haha.. and as for digital cockpit im the same, change it all the time haha!

I had it delivered with 17 miles on the clock on the back of a tailer (I didn't ask for this and was surprised) and was from a dealer just up the road (25 miles away).

Was just the smell of smoke and **** condition of the exterior. Also polished boot scuffs on the trim but it wiped off. A few bits of trim from factory needed clipping in as well but I'm happy with it now

I think the smoke smell would be enough to make me collect.

I would imagine the collection experience is the same as if you were collecting any other new car?

Thanks mate.

Looks really neat, think im swayed again. Magnetic grey looks good as doesnt exert the horrid rear plastic inlay on the rear bumper as much as other colours do

Hi, I’ve just had a look at the radar on my new car & it’s the same wire loom used with my 2015 FR radar. It has exposed wires that go into the radar. My FR received damage from a stone chip to this wiring. The loom was damaged & needed replacing. The total bill excluding VAT to replace & reset was £2930. I have just taped mine up so this does not happen again. I complained to SEAT but nothing was done. When mine goes for its first service I’m going to ask them to tape them securely. I can’t do it as much as I’d like because the grill is in the way.

Any pics of the loom and wiring?
