That's just hilarious

You said they were going to be silver or black a few days ago..

They weren’t specified. Same as stitching wasn’t. So who knows but I suspect they won’t be copper but that’s on opinion.

Copper S badge and black trim on steering wheel fact
Black trim around gear area fact
No flags Inside and 1 black out side fact
Black door handles fact
Black brakes fact

Stitching no idea
Vents trim no idea.

Where the hell are black door handles coming from??

I honestly am starting to think some committee at Seat has sat down to talk about the end of the Leon Mk3.. gone down to the stock room to look at overordered parts and thought ‘what can we do with these?’ Anything copper can go on the Cupra.. we have some black flags, so those can too. We haven’t got rougher so we’ll ration them out..

Then they’ve realised that someone screwed up ages ago and ordered too many black door handles and thought.. ‘hmm what can we do with these?? I know, the cupra has black mirrors, so they cN go on there’

This is seriously starting to sound like a stockroom clearout rather than a £30000+ premium sports model!!

That’s not a rant at you Damo7.. it’s a rant at Seat..

Black door handles?!

That's the worst thing so far!!!

He's on about the door handles inside not outside

I bloody hope so.. although personally I’d have assume that with black search, black roof lining and black dash, that they would be black anyway?

Could be wrong, but he maybe on about the surround. On my 280 is the gloss black, but in my Carbon I think it’s silver surround.

Haha. I don't feel silly at all...I knew that's what he meant.

Makes sense...Although knowing what has gone on so far it'll probably be a chrome handle with a copper surround.

There's a mystery blue 4 drive just come up at Marshall Seat Leicester if anybody is fed up of waiting and wants a car without the copper

No, the inside one will be black, that'll be the new on on the OUTSIDE!!

I dunno. The black CUPRA lettering might be part of a theme

Black letting has been used on special editions before, mirrors have always been black, unless part of a special edition, but external door handles have always been body coloured.

It's all gloss black on my 280, doesn't look bad but nothing special.

I tried to swap to a carbon but it was double the price on my lease. They wanted £600 per month on 12,500 maintained..

What spec was your ST? Although the carbon's have the sports seats and the extra exterior touches, they don't seem to be as spec'd as id thought over here - for the price

Yeah UK Spec is pants.

Thankfully it has everything I wanted apart from Seat Sound that I can retro fit.

Huddersfield have a manual ST in grey in the showroom if you can't face the wait. No copper in site.

I can see a ST Carbon edition on website..presume this grey ST is another car not yet on their web site?
Interesting to see what spec it is. I ordered Monsoon Grey ST 4 Drive DSG in March...still no build date. CS less than useless.
