Was this after you took the car?
I also like the look of the black lettering

Yup, picked up the car and the lettering at the same time. They wouldn't fit it for me but it was easy to fit with some masking tape and fishing line to cut off the chrome ones.
Black is a nightmare for that!
I'm in the exact same position! Mine was the st3 185! It went back last week and the Cupra should be delivered on Friday hopefullyLooking forward to having a nice sound !
You’ll love it mate it.

I've ordered it with the car which won't be delivered for a while. Looking at December.
Could have ordered at any point but after the purchase they may add on a charge for fitting.

I don't think I'll bother for the time being then
Once its been delivered and I have it then I'll start inquiring. I don't want to push it back any further

Haha, I hear you.
It won't affect your CUPRA order. It's treated as a accessory and not part of the actual car order. I'm paying the dealership for them and not VWFS.
The lettering and side skirts are both accessories. I just wanted it all sorted for the pickup.

I have pics of the lettering on my 280.
I'm still waiting on my 300, been accepted but no build date. Expected December.
It'll be a long time before I can post pics.

Hopefully I will have some pics of it next week with the lettering if mines gets delivered on Friday and I can get the letters sorted!
I know modding a leased car is always seen as a dumb idea, but I view the car as mine with the thought of I'll sell it in 2 years! I've gone down the usual route aswell, front and side splitters, bottom lip wrapped, wrapped S badges, side decals, all of which will bolt or peel off and then can be sold on!
As for performance mode, VWR turbo elbow, intake pipe, ramair panel filter, "snow grate" removed and a JB1! All of which were sourced used except for the filter, so on return I should get all my money back for those parts, or move them over to my next car!
However if there aren't any deals on offer or if the next models aren't upto much I'll just buy this one off VW Finance!

Do you mind if I ask where you got them decals from? or even just something similar! I've seen the picture of yours and it looks great!
Asides from spending lots of money giving your Cupra a bespoke exterior, might I suggest a JB1 (20 mins install or remove, untraceable via diagnostics), a powerflex dogbone insert (15 min job, easily reversable), deactivating the torque limiter (2 min job, easily reversible) and decent tyres, if they give you the car shoe'd with potenzas? May as well make the car go like a rocket and clean up the off the line launches whilst you're at it.
Has anyone here got any actual hands on experience with the JB1 tuning box? Has anyone put it on a 300 ST 4drive?
How tricky was it to install?
What was the difference it the car from stock?
Did you need to disconnect it for each service?
Was it as claimed 'untraceable'?

Hi I have a DTUK box on mine, how do you deactivate the torque limiter and how much will it give you? Thanks
I initially got them off ebay, but when I received them I realised how incredibly hard it is to apply them perfectly, so ended up getting a local vinyl wrap place to redo them for me!
Here is the ebay link,

Of course,
My Instagram is @chris.hodgson.nora for more pics!
I've had mo e fitted for 4 months now, took 15 mins to install, there is a plug down on the intake take pipe that will require the undertray to be removed to gain access to, 7 small bolts at the sides and 3 larger ones at the rear, it's plain sailing from there!
It makes a huge difference to the car, it comes pre set to increase boost by 4.8psi, however with a intake and 99 octane I've mine set at 5.2psi! I did run a custom map6 setting but prefer the harder hitting map1! I will be removing it completely whenever the car has to go into Seat!
You will need Vcds/obdeleven to make the changes, it doesnt give you any extra power, it just stops the car from pulling power when it detects wheel hop,
03.Brakes - Adaptations - Starting Vibration Reduction and select "deactivate"
With this setting changed and the ESC fully off you will now have zero electronic assistance when launching hard!
