Monsoon Grey.
THANKS! I thought it was Technic grey, which I really like. Does anyone have any pics of Technic grey and Monsoon Grey together?
F*** all the nancy technology and invest instead making it a better drive with nicer looks.
do i really need a wireless phone charger, i might not even have one that can use this.
more genius indicators that are part of the headlight so will be near invisible to oncoming traffic at night.
electronic handbrake, FFS
on a positive note, 1 nice new colour now available.

Depends how bright they are on the facelift, but I can see my front LED indicators on my 2014 one reflect off road signs/cars from quite a distance at night.
Regarding the electric handbrake after having one on my last car (a Passat), I will avoid them in future a all costs unless I intended to get rid of the car in a few years. Apart from the hassle with brake pads and worrying about failures, the motors (one on each rear wheel) take a fearful battering (high torque needed to keep the brakes on) and were built to a price (plastic parts).
After about 4-5 years, the motors started to fail and cost £600+ each to replace. They usually failed with the brake on, so the car had to be lifted to get to a garage. A cable and a handle to pull suddenly becomes a whole lot more attractive!

Looks abit like a race car in Monsoon. Just add decals and go to the track! Very stealthy. Monsoon looks more aggressive on the Leon than the A3. CLASSY colour too...
Two SEAT Atecas coming my direction left out of a junction at the weekend. No mistaking the indicators. I could see it 300 yards at least away. They actually distracted me more than anything. As the DRL LED is off this time rather than dimmed. Not sure if I like it as much now I've seen it on the road but way brighter than current Leon setup that's for sure.

I assume this is for an FR? If so, unless the ride has been softened quite considerably in the 2017 update, I would recommend this pack. I went with an FR without the adaptive suspension for 18 months and wish I'd got one with it.
The sports suspension might not be ridiculously harsh but if you are using it as your daily commuter and have to endure some of the "classic" British roads then it will make things a lot more relaxing. Best of both worlds if you can afford it... it might also hide some of the rattles better.
If you are concerned about comfort would the new Excellence spec not be a better bet over an FR?
More CUPRA 300 pictures including colour options (still waiting for UK spec)

the 300 ps Golf R estate had 5.1 seconds to 62 mph and less CO2 with this exact engine. unless the CUPRA 300 is intentionally sabotaged, those figures must be incorrect.
all the other CO2 and acceleration figures are exactly the same as for the 290 version. unless SEAT finally admits that they were actually using the same Golf R engine, with 10 extra PS on a wider RPM range and extra torque, I figure you must gain at least 0.1 seconds to 62 mph.
besides that, the design changes are subtle but nice. the white stripes on the interior are gone, we have full black now.
