UPGRADING TO CUPRA 300

[DaveysFR]

So guys I currently have a 2016 Leon FR SC TDI 150 and a Mk2 Leon Cupra Stage 2+ tuned.

Thinking of selling up the two I have and going for this:

Now I like the orange but I'm also caught up on Desire Red. What would be your choice in my situation?

I’m biased as I just ordered a desire red Cupra lux st.
I’m not that keen on the orange colour (though it looks okay). Good spec and low mileage so go for it if you’re happy with the colour?

be careful the clutch in the manual does not last long, search the forums for examples.

I think that orange looks great.

 

[Brooster89]

I think that orange looks great.

Would agree

 

[JACUPRA280]

Orange looks better.

Also don't worry about the clutch.

I decided against the red. I though it didn't suit the shape. It does look good on the Arona with a black roof though.

Seen this car in the flesh a few times parked outside the dealers in Boro. Colour looks amazing in bright sunlight, and the contrast with the splitter/side blades in gloss black really suits the car too.

I have a 2016 Black Edition which is coming to the end of its PCP, so I'm investigating a possible replacement.
It's Emocion Red which in my opinion perfectly suits the shape of the Leon.
I may regret saying this, but I've had no clutch problems at all.
I don't know what my next car will be as I would prefer a manual rather than a DSG.
With that in mind, I've been looking on Autotrader at 18/68 cars and of course noticed the orange one in Middlesbrough.
Firstly it's a bit of a distance between my home and Middlesbrough and secondly I'm not sure it's worth changing to a car only two years younger.
Regarding the colour, I was a bit unsure. I was worried that it would look a bit like Ford's Tangerine Scream.
I was walking in Glasgow earlier this week when I noticed an Eclipse Orange Cupra stopped at the lights. I thought it looked brilliant and having seen it, I would have one in a heartbeat.
All the best if you decide to buy it. I guess you'll let us all know if you do.

You’re all mad!! Desire Red looks awesome on the 300 but I am biased.

Mind you the Orange is no longer available and looks good in its own right.

 

[Jordan Neill]

Love the seats in that 300. Wish my 280 had them....

 

[S4BiT]

Orange looks great! For me, the Desire Red was the favourite for them, but not shure anymore. Go for it!

 

[Two90Black]

Go for the orange. Both look good but the orange is a bit more rare and does look good in the sunlight.

Gorgeous colour, Seat's best colour at the moment I think

Does the clutch on the manual go that easy even without a remap Or is it more after a stage 2?

 

[Miguel 7]

Love the orange. If you want to be unique go for it unless you don't like to stand out

Never mind stage 2. Try stage 1 and it gets all slippy in there.

Oh dear so dsg it is then

Depends what you’re doing with it. DSG will also slip the clutches if theres more torque than it knows to clamp against. They need flashed for the uprated figures. = warranty gone
