Trying to run some insurance quotes to see what a new Cupra would cost. Struggling to see which version to choose in the list on the insurance companies websites. I think it should be Cupra 5 door 290 TSI or similar? But I can't seem to find that?!?

Still doesn't exist on a lot of companies websites.. Direct Line didn't have it but they were happy to insure it once I actually spoke to them. Do a quote for a 300 and then give them a call. Esure definitely insure them.

How much of a fight are CS putting up for fitment of skirts/blades in lieu of good will cheque/vouchers?

It'll certainly depend on your individual circumstances/case as it's a dealer fit accessory that can come to a total cost close to £800 if you're not careful. It's not something they'll just hand out for a typical delay it seems.

Has anyone with their MY19's noticed that wheel hop seems to be a lot less prevalent than in previous Cupra iterations?
My 290 Black Edition (with Conti 5P's) used to buck and jump around like a child high on E-numbers. This MY19, also on 5P's, barely does it at all and sometimes just spins the wheel smoothly with no hop - it feels like my old 290 did when fitted with PS4S's in that respect.

Wonder if they have upgraded the Dog Mount??

I also have a 290 BE on 5P's and the wheel hop feels like it will break the car! I recently had a slow puncture so swapped the 5P's on the front to the rear and the Goodyear Eagle F1's that were fitted a year ago from the back to the front - the car feels so much more planted and acceleration in low gears has much reduced wheel hop, though it is still noticeable.

Those 5P's must be a pile of sh*t and cheap as chips for SEAT to use them this long!!

Does anyone have more videos on the sound for the 290 MY19 Cupra with GPF? Would also be good to hear a de resonated one if anyone has done this yet?
I've just recorded some static and on the move footage from inside the car of my MY19 - no res delete.
I need to edit it a little or else it's just 10 minutes of driving around town with about 15s of usable footage!

Looks really smart! I'm confused with the copper badges...there were photos of a Cupra 290 delivered about 2 days ago, same spec as mine, with silver badging - can somebody confirm whether mine will have silver or copper badges? Bit confused now :help:

What build week is your car? I think it’s any built before week 42 will have no copper then Bw 42 onwards will have the copper
