Votes on whether I should do red or blue next
Go on, do red and blue. It needs to be seen.
That’s something I said a while back regarding the 4Drive badge... that’ll really look good on the back with the black lettering..
The R ST that never got sold here got the copper badges, Cupra in copper and a chrome 4Drive badge.. Oslo I think we will still get that..

imo it looks garish, boy-racery and cheapens the overall look of the car. It is simply tacky.
The R ST in general, or 4Drive badge?
I know that now they don’t sell the 2wd ST in the UK, but when I ordered, they did, and I want something to differentiate, although they could surely have come up with a badge a bit better than that.... it does look like an ‘oh ****, we forgot to make a badge.... that’ll do” moment...
I don't think there are many people on these 300 pages of comments who actually like it... We see to have agreed that we have no choice in the matter, and in some cases will immediately replace/wrap the badges...Obviously I mean the copper badges.
I think we all agree though, that like it or not, it was a seriously dodgy decision my Seat to make such a change without speaking to the customers first..
Completely agree, whoever made the decision needs their head checking. Is it easy to replace the front badges?
Had a terrible night’s sleep worrying about copper badges...
I was going to wrap or replace with painted gloss black emblems, but the German site states that their painted versions are for cars without ACC only. I was under the impression that the radar sensor was still in the lower grille section, unlike VW/Merc etc where the front badge is the sensor - is this correct?
Also, I’ve specced rear parking camera, which again will make things difficult with respect to paint/wrap - anyone done this?

I don't think Beats Audio is available on the Leon now?
I ordered Seat Sound on my car (back in May) and it is being built with Beats Audio, but as far as I know there is no option for either on current orders. It is similar with the rear view camera, it IS available on the Xcellence and Xcellence Lux but not as an option. Though people that ordered them prior to SEAT's marketing team losing the plot will get one I believe.
First I’ve heard they’re doing that. I’d be surprised if they do due to how much they’d have to redo at this late stage in the models life. But hey they’re also sticking copper on the car so who knows.
However I would be very surprised if the radar was impacted by a vinyl wrap. It’s a more powerful version of the parking sensors, and I’ve wrapped the front my 280 so I could hide the number plate holes when I fitted my short plate, and the parking sensors worked fine.
Again, I really hope that they don’t get rid of the flags from the inside, it’s not as if they haven’t already produced them in black for the inside, as Lmbarrett83‘s picture shows.. they’ve already done it for the steering wheel and the illuminated kickplates..Sorry to bring this up again but are these the design changes you were hinting at from the inside regarding the copper S and flags?
I.e steering wheel and Kick plates?
Sorry couldn't resist

I've been thinking and come to the conclusion that all the extra weight for the MY19 must be the new improved Copper engine block
If you're not happy with the loss of the Cupra Flag logo and change to Copper then we should start a movement and hopefully SEAT might listen to owners and enthusiasts of the brand. For what it's worth I've started a thread in the Cupra brand section, make your voice heard:

Morning all,
I believe we will get the details on the interior very very soon
This is based on details similar to what @Damo7 provided and was posted on the Spanish forum.
It's not an official SEAT internal document.
I know that this is the planned tiddler Cupra but maybe if the copper internals (including seat stiching) are similar to that shown in picture 4 then maybe one could live with it? (Maybe not...)
Externally, copper looks ok in the grey?
