CUPRA Formentor owner's register

[Cupradev]

Indeed it is!, was kept in the loop on regular basis since placing order on 1st May. Was told car was due to arrive at dealers between 5th and 7th so getting a week early is a nice surprise.

Yeah to be honest they’ve been really good for me too. Updated every couple of weeks, until last week when the “at the dealer” timescale went from 5th / 7th of July to 25th June, and then today had the “arrange your delivery, the car’s in stock” email. Very happy with the service.
Very excited. What colour did you go with? I took Black with black nappa.

I've gone with Black with Black nappa too, although felt colour choice wasn't great so colour choice been playing on my mind whilst waiting.
That said pattern emerging with colour choice.
Black Leon Fr > White Leon Fr > Black VZ2

I can’t fault you mate.
To be honest I’ve seen a red one on the road, loved it but would never have a red car. I’m coming from a grey 5 series so wanted a change. Black suits the car so I’m happy. Plus they’re still like hens teeth, which I also like.
Hope all goes well for you mate, not long to wait now.

Collected my Fair Spanish Lady today. I consider my expectations well and truly blown away!

That’s exactly the same as the configuration I am waiting for. A quick question, is it possible to reach through the gaps between the spokes to clean the insides of the wheels by hand?

Waiting for the exact same car VZ3 with black leather interior. Not expecting it too arrive much before September. Looks awesome.

It's tight, a decent brush will be needed and a strong arm too because it'll take forever on each wheel don't think you'd get your hand through them.

Indeed! Once I'd seen the copper Brembos I knew I had to find the money from somewhere!

Thanks for the info. On the original VZ wheels there was a decent gap for cleaning, I thought it looks tight now. I may buy a hamster and a sponge!

I have one for couple of months now, I haven't tried cleaning between the gaps. It's a black wheel for the most part, dirt does not really show up that hard on it, especially on the inside of the wheel.

But I do have to mention that the ceramic coating guy said whoever designed the wheels didn't think about cleaning .

Thanks for the info. Most wheel manufacturers tend to skimp on the laquering on the insides leading to muck and dust build up, which I hate! I’m thinking of taking each wheel off, cleaning it and brushing on some clear coat to hopefully make cleaning easier. I’m not really obsessive!

Hi, I have a VZ2 310 on order, which according to the dealer is being built this week. Delivery expected to be early August. I've ordered it in Dark Camouflage, which interestingly I have just noticed is no longer available on the Seat configurator - anyone heard why this colour has been removed as an option?

Having sold my 4 year old Tiguan two months ago, I am rather excited to be getting behind the wheel of the Formentor

Could never find the paint in the factory.

Nice choice of colour though.

 

[Seriously?]

A bit like trying to find your camo cargos in the wardrobe.
Similarly, I often wondered how the pilots of Stealth Bombers ever found their aircraft. I imagine them wandering around on the tarmac with their arms extended in front of them going " I'm sure I left it here...."
