LCR \ Cupra - Couple of Questions

[NJG]

Is it me, or does the LCR (in my case a 2005 model) have slightly darker rear windows?
Just noticed, and although very subtle, the rear ones appear slightly darker tint.
Perhaps a late model revision?

Also, having 'upgraded' from a Cupra, has the radio station and volume display in the instrument cluster been dropped on the LCR's? Nothing showing in my cluster.
Not that any of this stuff is important, just curious..

I'm still not impressed with the radio reception either. Both cars still suffer with weak signals. Not effected though in the MK2 Leon, so must be some MK1 issue.

my mk1 has got a crap reception, i thought it was my aerial at first as it was slightly bent, got a new one from dealer as it was only a couple of quid and its not better.

my mk1 05 FR has got slightly darker windows then my mate at works mk1 02 cupra, noticed it the other day when they were parked side by side.

not that any of that really helps you mate lol

Only very few cupras had the info display, yours must have been an X or Y plate around 2000???

All other cupras and LCR's don't have this

Radio signal has always been poor, there are boosters you can buy, track down the Mk1 FAQ's

The tinted rear windows, I have never noticed this maybe a tint applied by a previous ownder

and the LCR interior is all black, (room etc) while on the cupra its white/cream. so it may appear darker on the LCR?
