I suspect they are going to make some changes, like possible gearbox and power changes, but for major overhaul of the colours, especially ones that have a major impact on the look of the car etc would have to go back to the customer... they had to contact customers for a 10ps decrease in power with 99.9% of people wouldn’t have noticed, so a major cosmetic change throughout the car would not be done without speaking to the customer first. They can make all the changes they like with customers who haven’t ordered yet, by producing a new brochure and saying, this is the new Cupra, this is how it is, but you can’t do that with customers who’ve already purchased a product, they have a legal obligation to tell you about major changes first.
you says you’d accept it regardless.. even with copper badges, white stitching and black inlays? They sort of colour scheme my 4 year old daughter would draw? It would look awful.. I wouldn’t spend over £30k on something like that..
I think it’s on the German and several Eastern European sites too.. the Cupra I saw had Cupra written on there to, but are they going to remove all the premuim touches fro the top model, and just have a plain door sill, when the FR etc have all the touches? If they are going to remove the badging and have it look like the bog standard bottom of the range model with a plain sill, then yes, it’ll be easy, but if they want it to look like the premium car it is, then it’ll take work.Fair points made.
Although the red Calipers aren't a big deal as the UK brochure doesn't have the 7 spd either.
The only site I've seen with the updated 7 speed is the French. The Spanish site isn't even updated yet
The sill change wouldn't be major either.
I was told by a Stoneacre SEAT that have signed up to be a CUPRA dealership, they expected brand changes this year (possibly to the Leon), but they were extremely vague and gave no specifics. I kind of dismissed it.
At this stage all I want is a build date, I'm going accept the car regardless. I've been waiting far too long.
