I think the Cupra looks great in any colour, except that special bluey white one, but this is definitely my favourite. I was initially gonna have Nevada White, but was put off by the general number of white cars on the road at present. Didn't want black as my last car was black and although it looks amazing, it's a bugger to keep clean and shows up the tiniest of scratches. My mate has an EP3 Civic Type R in this colour and I've always thought how gorgeous it looked so bit the bullet and ordered it blind. So glad that I did...Love it!

Nice colour, but I chose black (again) as light colours show up stone chip repairs more (tested on both cars and bike, that's why the CBF is also black) and you can't see the tar spots on the sills when the car is black, which was murder to clean on all of the red cars I had before. Black still needs attention to clean but worth it I think, but everyone to their own.:D

Looks good!
How much power can you get out of this with stage 1 map?
I heard that around 316bhp and would be same as from mk7 gti?:confused:
No idea mate but heard figures of 320bhp knocking around. I will be leaving it standard as the power of these things is plenty as it is.

Absolutely gorgeous looking car! This colour has really grown on me! I've gone for black, old habits. I love the shine, what products did you use ? I've been looking around and there's so many to choose from!

I used Cherry Glaze polish, project 32 sealant and Autoglym HD wax to finish.

What you choose to wear at the weekend is no-one else's business. :duck:

PS: Lovely car and colour. Defo my first choice if I ever bother to get the MK3.
