Hi all my names Flynn, I've been trawling though this great website for the past couple of months after placing my order for my new cupra 280. I test drove a 5dr 280 dsg with leather at letchworth seat and fell in love with it, the only thing was I wanted a SC with a manual box and alacantara. No one near me had one as a demo so I though I'd just bite the bullet and go for it....and I'm so pleased I did the car drives like a dream the manual gearbox is sublime so tight and notchy I love it (I know what a wonderful gearbox the dsg is as I've had them in the past and if I was commuting in the car daily I probably would of gone for one, call me old fashioned but nothing beats the feeling of banging through the gears yourself 
)
So the options I went for were........ Nothing, not one tick on the option list (other than the phantom black paint, think I've got a problem my last 5 cars have been black ) the main reason is that we've leased the car (was so much cheaper than dealer pcp) but also the standard car is so well specked and there wasn't anything that really anything that appealed to me.
We were told 12+ weeks on ordering but it was 8wks and 3 day from placing the order to it being parked on my drive. First thing was to give a real good detail, I don't know how dealers manage to get quite so many swirl marks on such a new vehicle in such a short space of time, nothing that a quick whizz over with the da and some p.b's blackhole won't sort out.
Got this far then the heavens opened so will have to try again Saturday
In the mean time I want to get myself a set of winter rims and tyres ordered up, I'm still split on which rims to go for I'm a massive fan of the bbs "euro" style wheels but I'm torn between the VZ's and a set of lightweight team dynamics prorace 1.2 (there's even a set of budget dare alloys that I quite like the fact that their £300 cheaper than the bbs might have made them a contender
)
Any opinions greatly considered ???
Well that's all for now, thanks for taking a look.
Flynn.
