Mine was ordered directly through the dealer, not a lease broker.

Is it a manual? How is the gearchange - testdrove the DSG but ordered the manual.

Hi all - new to the forum. It's great to read the excitement on this forum for all the pending deliveries. I'm currently awaiting the 290 Cupra Black Manual in Ice White(a lot of deliberation over the colours available, as this is the colour that is the 'grey'). Couldn't be more excited, and looking forward to the difference, and step up, from the current ST I'm driving.

Thanks, mate. Yeah, just confirmed today it's landed in the UK, so should be here within a couple of weeks.

Was doing the usual video search last night, and didn't realise about the ambient lighting. Nice touch!
