Just spoke to my dealer and I have mine confirmed as build week 23, they have told me the emissions issue is related to the build date, not the registration date and mine had got in before the factory shutdown, happy days!
Had confirmation my Cupra 300 ST 4drive will be ready from the 4th July. Unfortunately I won't be able to get it until the 8th but I suppose an extra few days won't matter too much. Ordered at the end of Jan and was told 20wks so it's going to be early. Just need to sell my current Leon FR ST 2.0TDI 184 now.
Confirmed today that im scheduled for build week 24 (11th June) so i should still recieve it around the predicted delivery date of mid-July.... I ordered end of Feb so if you ordered around then, then keep the faith! 
Those quotes for a DSG are crazy. The price difference listed on the Seat website was only £10 +vat a month extra for a DSG.
Unfortunately because the car is registered I can’t have it as won’t have the same support as a brand new car. The dealer is going to let me know by the end of the day if Seat Uk have found me one. If not I’ll have to take business else where unfortunately.
I was in a similar position with regards to not being able to get a manual. I originally ordered a manual back in October last year.
My order got mixed up and the wrong spec was delivered in February.
We had to reorder my CUPRA but because of the price changes (increase this year) I had to have that signed off by SEAT that I could reorder at the same price. It took so long to get this sorted that they stopped taking orders on the manual.
I then had to have it signed off by SEAT that I could have a DSG on the same deal as this wasn't my fault.
My car was only ordered on the 23rd of May and is not expected to be delivered until Dec/Jan.
So If you have a case you can through customer services but the process is very long and stressful.
As I already had a VWFS lease I could afford to wait, but if you are expecting/needing your car by a certain time it may not be worth the hassle.

Wow, sounds like I’m not the only one then, hard to believe they could allow this situation to happen. Very avoidable if the communication was there between Seat Uk, the dealers and the customers. To be honest I have logged my complaint with Seat Uk, but more so just to have a rant and get it out of my system! I have no intention of ordering another Seat, this had left a very bad taste. I’m hoping other members on here don’t end up in the same disappointing position, so if anyone has ordered a manual ST in the last few months then I’d advise to chase your dealer to confirm the car will be built. Nothing worse than being told last minute that you’re not getting a car. If Seat Uk offered me a dsg St for the same price I’m just not in a position to wait several months for it, but the gesture would go some way at least.
I regret that your order was cancelled. It will be interesting if I get to the same situation because I still have my Cupra st in manual ordered from April 2018. Visiting my dealer every wednesday but there has not been any change so far. Still the estimated week 27 but no build confirmed. But I am in mainland Europe, maybe different situation from UK. So there is still some hope. If they cancel my order I will wait for the end of this year and see if the Cupra r st is worth it.
It's not just the ST mine was a 5dr. It's the 2l manual in general.
SEAT customer services are very hard to deal with.
They seemed powerless which was surprising. All they could do was phone other departments.
