I’ve just taken delivery and can confirm there are no Cupra badges on either the steering wheel or dsg plate. Baffled to who thought that was a good idea......

What I find more baffling is why there isn't a black flag on the back like there is on the front!

Whoever done the designs and signed them off should be sacked. All the messing around with where badges are and what colour they are, not to mention forgetting all the ones that aren't just black then the dodgy CUPRA start up logo with a missing pixel on the screen.

Yes I know, someone in the ideas department @ SEAT has gone feral. I bought my own and put it on, sprayed the red part black, clear smoke lacker over the whole badge then glossifier to finish, all plasti dip products. I think you can buy all the internal steering wheel & dsg Cupra baged parts but it’s all extra money and they should be fitted as standard.

I was hoping to do the same, as a rear of a Midnight Black is going to look very bare!

What do you think of the build compared to the golf? Mine goes back Monday with my Cupra arriving Monday also.

The build quality overall is good but you will notice some things like the door pockets and glove box not being fabric lined. The bits of missing chrome trim missing on some of the switches. These things to me don’t matter. My only real disappointment is that there is no rear camera but I knew that buying the car

If I got the equivalent gold r version it would be well into the 40k range for the same spec for a car that mechanically is identical.

Anyone recommend alloy rimblades or any other products to protect the alloys?

Hi, professional ceramic coating I’ve heard is very good. I’ve coated mine in Armor Shield Fortify but will need to keep treating more often. Just need something with high hydrophobic properties.

@npcupra...I had the Alloygator rim protectors fitted to my St300 which are much stronger than any other rim protector on the market,probably why they are the most expensive. They come in many colours but the don’t stick on, the tyre has to be deflated then they are knock on with a rubber mallet then the tyre is inflated again and Bobs your uncle.I had a few scrapes with the curbs but the good thing is a bit of wet and dry and they are back to normal again..

I looked at getting Alloygators fitted to my Cupra 300 wheels but the Alloygator supplier and dealer wouldn’t fit them to Diamond Cut wheels. I’ve tried a few places and they have all refused due to the potential impact on the wheels.

Thanks. I’ll have a look around.

Also, does anyone find the steering heavy?
I’m probably going to have a string of questions as I drive the car more

I completely agree but not sure about sacking, maybe reassigned to a less creative job roll :fool:. I'm glad you said about the dead pixel, I thought mine had blown pixels today but was miffed how they seemed to vanish. I was going to mention it to the dealer.
