Hi have ordered a white tdi cr sport but it is not due till nov and am wondering whether i should have gone for the orange? I like orange cars and think it can look stunning. My thoughts are: a) is it worth the £500? b) will it put people off buying it in future when i sell on? has anyone seen it so far in the flesh?
cheers paul :)

Visit site
a) only you can answer that
b) possibly, you need big cojones to order one and some people will love it, some the opposite
c) only on a Leon and it looks amazing, but I can see most people being too scared to order one or just disliking it. There's a Leon K1 on the SEAT used cars webby in that colour, have a look at that.

Personally I like it but I would go for the met blue as I'm old and boring

I've seen one at my local dealers and it looked all right if you like orange. Personally, I'm not a fan of anything orange but I'm an old fart. I think it will always be a controversial colour when it comes to resale.

If you go to the SEAT website there are some good photos of one in the Approved Used Car section at Huddersfield SEAT.

IMO the best colour I have seen for the new Ibiza so far is black.

For me resale isn't a massive factor in colour choice. When you order a car it's for yourself.

Orange will certainly draw attention, I went for white because I like white.

When the Ibiza first came out they did a few in the orrange 125 I think it was in 5 doors and that was it. Ours sold so People must like it. It sells on the ST focus and Lambo's so its not to bad.

it's the aero bodykit with seat optional wheels, you can get all the bits from Seat accesories, or you can get the 1.4 petrol with the kit on (but with the standard sport 17" rims) in black as the "black magic" edition

If your going to buy a new car you might aswell do it the way you want, as its going to be your new car, go for it looks stunning and you only live once, weather its worth £540 thats another question.

go with it mate, i was just browsing through the other MK5 threads and theres a pic of an Orange MK5 cupra and it looks beautiful.

The cars your pride and joy not somebody else's, spec it to your own tastes.

Its your money mate, nobody else can decide if its worth it or not, if it was my car, i'd pay it, but then again i'd pay for the full aero body kit and 10 spoke alloys as well :p

Tailgate Spoiler

Hey Im a newbie to the site, after some help where possible, I have ordered a 1.6 sport 5 door in lumina orange, with rear tints, will have my hands on it in november, cant wait :D but as an option, I wanted to order the tailgate spoiler:
but apparently according to my local Seat dealer, the spoiler being advertised on the official website is not the one for sale at £100, would anybody happen to know how it would look?

Thanks. :)

At first I was gonna get a Candy White SC but fell in love with the Lumina Orange SC once I saw it and now it is what I drive. Some people take the mick but personally I love the attention :)
