The post above from Paul1979. The lovely white ST has the Copper badging and the black brake calipers. I'm quite liking the copper accents, I'm wondering if there is the copper accents in the interior.

Do the "Copras" only come with black calipers rather than red?

Does anyone have a list of the MY19 changes?

From what I can work out so far:
Copper badges
Black Cupra lettering on the boot
No flag logo on the boot
Front grill flag logo now black
Black calipers?

Here you go.

Exterior changes
  • Silver SEAT badges switch to copper SEAT badges
  • Black brake calipers replace the previous red ones
  • Copper logo for alloy wheels
  • CUPRA flag becomes black
  • Rear CUPRA lettering becomes black
Interior changes
  • Steering wheel gains copper SEAT logo
  • Interior copper and black detailing
  • Media screen logo becomes copper

Here you go.
Cheers Aaron.

Shame about the red calipers which would have gone well with the Mystery Blue I've ordered. I guess SEAT didn't think they went with the new copper logos.

Think I'll order a flag badge for the boot and see what it looks like though.

No Problem.

Personally I think Blue/Black works a treat, make sure to send some photos when it's here.

There is not much Copper on the inside other than the steering wheel. The surrounds are all still chrome.

For me - the more stealth look of the Black calipers and black grill badge are a good move.
My son is pretty convinced that CUPRA on the rear stands for Can U Please Ride my Ass - cos every little **** in a hatch seems to do it.

Having become heartily sick of being tailgated by Richard Cranium and his mates in Corsas etc, I tried some reverse psychology with my previous car, a 330D touring and replaced the badge with a 316D one. Didn't make one bit of difference. I think for some, any vehicle in front of them is seen as a challenge, irrespective of what you drive.:banghead:

Cheers, had totally missed it, more subtle that I had thought in that light!

Odd - I didn't get half the amount of clowns tailgating my Leon FR that I do with the Cupra

Hi guys, newbie here. Thanks to BipedalMale for putting up your photo, in early November I ordered my 290 in Magnetic Grey and can't wait for it to get here in late Feb (bought from stock - BW50).

Other than my dad's 09 plate 911, only ever driven up to 200bhp before so looking forward it but have been warned by a mate who drives a Golf R about tailgaters and youngsters 'challenging' you everywhere - from the comments above, sounds like it could be likely...
