Payed £110 for a 4 year GAP (to cover my lease time) Im with "bettersafe" URL is Bettersafe.com Called them up they had the wrong cupra in was the 3.5 Cupra FR, so their IT has changed this so you can add it in properly now. I Searched for a week to get that deal lol.

Well on a 7KW charger you will be looking at 3.5 to 4HRS , on a 3Point Plug its around 6 HRS for a charging to complete to 0-100 approx.
Just to let you know that full charge will give you around 32 miles or so, and every time you switch car on will default to battery until you tell it in the battery manager to switch back to the ICE if needed.

Might go off your age, Insurance/location ETC not sure the deal i thought that were cheap was £150 so 137 isn't bad what do you think?

It does mate, you need a SD USB Stick Thou you get a USB Type C to USB Converter. just slot in there and it picks up got one running in mine.
Look for the 2 Boxes that come with the Car the one with Bracelet in and another called 3 In 1 MFI Charging and Data Cable.
I had one usb stick i will look for that or i will order the type c usb stick.
Ok mate yes look for the 2 boxes they should have been given to you when they delivered the vehicle.
Hi guys,
Been a hectic day with all sorts going on, but glad to say my CUPRA has been delivered safe and sound, took me a good hour and a half in the drive setting up the connect app and figuring out just how everything in the car works, so many bells and whistles from my billy basic Skoda Fabia of previous! The connect app is great, being able to warm up the car, check its location, turn on the horn etc etc is just soooo good.
The charging is working fine from my already installed household wallbox, some of the features such as the assistive regenerative braking is incredible, I don’t even need to use my brake coming up to junctions at times! Really really smart, and of course it looks gorgeous.
The acceleration is something else, compared to 59bhp it’s night and day!
Safe to say I will be absolutely loving the next 2 years with this!!

Oh mate Gratz nice to see you have your pics up car looks mint, yes the Regenerative assistant braking is insane, thought i was catching the brake all the time, then realized it starts to slow you down at junctions/roundabouts and 30 MPH zones pretty insane piece of kit they are, i just love the comfort mode and dampers going over speed bumps with ease yet that hard suspension and engaging drive Cupra mode is so much a different car altogether my lass already hates it only because she dont understand how it works, hopefully it wont be curbed anytime soon
You’re so correct! And yes, I’m so worried about my alloys, tempted to get AlloyGators just to save face, as much as they won’t look as good. I was kept straight in my Skoda as that only had 15’s and plenty of tyre space unlike the thin strips now! The suspension and steering in CUPRA mode is really cool, will also take me a little bit to get used to from the Skoda’s.Oh mate Gratz nice to see you have your pics up car looks mint, yes the Regenerative assistant braking is insane, thought i was catching the brake all the time, then realized it starts to slow you down at junctions/roundabouts and 30 MPH zones pretty insane piece of kit they are, i just love the comfort mode and dampers going over speed bumps with ease yet that hard suspension and engaging drive Cupra mode is so much a different car altogether my lass already hates it only because she dont understand how it works, hopefully it wont be curbed anytime soon
I’ll try and grab some better pictures at some point tomorrow before dark, too. Really happy with my colour choice, thought the black was going to be a bit dull but it’s slightly pearlescent and looks so good in the light.
It would be your cheapest tariff after 12 Pm mate but putting it on a schedule remember it switches itself off when charged but since i always Podpoint charge i really leave it 3.5 hrs for me, don't have the facility of charging from home tarrifs near me is 17P PKWH takes about £2.00 to charge 0-100
