You will need to service the car twice. Do the first one 2 weeks late (1 month grace period) then hand the car back a week or two early. You will not need to do the second service.

Picked up my run out of other colours white.
Loving the interior lighting. Glad I have gone manual, but not pops or bangs. 0nly done 20 mile in though

Looking good, I'm regretting manual and wish I had dsg. That valve on the clutch annoys the hell out of me on fast gear changes.

I had dsg on my 170 fr, I thought I was going to miss it but it's nice to change gear. Thought it was a easy fix to sort the clutch out?

Yeah its not too difficult, but still a bit of messing about for a car that's not mine

Feel your pain.
I also wanted Dynamic and they swapped to Monsoon.
Still waiting to see if they will throw in side skirts!!
Seen a few standard cars in Monsoon and they just blend in.... hope the Cupra makes the difference. On a sunny day the colour seems to comes to life, but in grim weather just a tad bland.

Tell me about it! When I first saw the removal of the clutch delay thread I thought it wouldn't be worth the hassle. Now I've driven the car hard, it feels like an eternity before it re-engages and I have to tell my passengers it's the clutch delay valve and not my shitty shifting :

I haven't seen one on the road yet - sounds like there have been plenty ordered, guess just not near me.

Also reverse to yo I ordered a monsoon grey as I didn't want to be noticed to much
And on delivery the monsoon was damaged so they offered me dynamic so wasn't prepared
To wait no longer so excepted I also have side skirts which finish the look of the car in my eyes
End result Happy with the car and colour .

Did you go manual also? Seems everyone hates the delay valve.....

Looks great.

Other users have reported after 1,000 miles, when the exhaust is coked up, the pops start.

The pops start once you have a few hundred miles on it. They are drowned out easily by road noise. The louder pops are when you change gear or lift the gas above 4k with the engine boosting nicely just before you change gear.
