Got build week for new Leon Cupra

[Island Cupra]

Visted the SEAT dealer today to see if my Leon Cupra had been ordered and was surprised to be told it is scheduled for build in week 22 - week starting 28th May 2007 so all being well should be here in July, fingers crossed!

Dealer trying to put me off the Candy White! Told me that a UK main dealer who sells a large number of Leon Cupra's said it would be a brave person who orders a Candy White Leon Cupra, I'm sticking though think it will look awesome!

Yes.

Don't think I'll be ordering the chrome boot lid trim now! Think the black grille might look better with the Candy White, cheers for the heads up Mork

Hmmm, I wonder if this is what mine will have fiited then??? We'll have to wait and see!!!

It is supposedly built already, just awaiting shipping.

Has anyone else had their dealer casting doubt over the choice of Candy White?

 

[Cupra R]

Not really other than them calling it a Christmas Tree, oh and that mine will be the only one in the country lol.

At this rate it may be here for Xmas

In my opinion that is poor customer service, if the customer wants white let them have it! I must admit it does look good and I would of probably got a white one if I did not live down country lanes.

But then again I just cant help wondering if white will be hard to sell in a few years?

 

[Island Cupra]

dont worry it will look great at firts they didnt even want to get the yellow one until they were told they were getting it and that's it.
if it was left up to them all they'd get would be red or red

Yeah got that impression from Alan, very anti White. I'm pretty sure when mine arrives and it gets seen then a few more Leon's in Candy White might be ordered!

Decided to definately go for the side skirts but giving the full aero kit a wide berth!

Hey don't get me wrong the customer service is spot on at Bel Royal very nice garage to deal with, albeit the only SEAT dealer in the island so little choice anyway! I think they are only concerned for the re-sale but to be honest that isn't a factor as I order cars for me not the next owner!

I'm having the side skirts too, I'll post some piccies when it arrives to wet your appetite.

That would be great having probs trying to picture them without the full aero kit but I have seen some pics on the forums and so far they look really nice, just finish off styling.
