I originally wanted red, then seen a SE in Technic grey, knew I had to have mine in it. really happy I ordered my FR in it it's a really nice colour in person, it's grey with bronze flake through it. But as madhatter said get what you like and not what others like :)

I chose Technic Grey too. Totally happy with it. To me there isn't another option.

Why are the colour choices so poor, if you don't want a shade of grey then half the colours are gone. It was down to solid white or alor blue in the end and I went for white which shows the lines off and doesn't get too dirty

I'm still undecided. The Monsoon is a nice colour, but every other car you see is Grey.

The silver is underrated, maybe. And as someone said earlier, contrasts really well with the plastics.

Black, just such hard work!

Think I'm committed to Grey. I think? So hard to choose!

See as many colours in person as you can, that way you'll get a better idea of what you'll like.

I'm totally biased of course but Monsoon Grey has to be the one to go for. ;)

Technic Beige looks alright on the van, sorry, ST.

Lima Green looks striking but the trade in value will be abysmal.

Totally agree with Blaine, I was planning to go for Emocion Red until I saw a Leon FR in Alor Blue- would never have gone for it until I saw it.

I've only seen the Silver in person and I was surprised about how classy it looked.

I love grey cars, always have. But since yesterday I've been looking and every other bloody VAG car is Grey. In my car park alone there are 6 Grey VAG cars and the space next to mine is a Monsoon Grey Audi! It's putting me off.

Black is timeless, but a bit plain and hard to keep clean. But you can't beat a freshly polished black car!

NICE!! Love that colour

Me too. I love Red and Blue cars at the moment. They are the new white. Wait till 2016 and you'll see!

I wasn't happy with the Grey being so damn common or the Silver being so plain. So I asked if there was a Red or Blue.

It wasn't available to me yesterday, but as I've opted for the dealer fit Full Link, this car has it as a factory option so was added to the list. Boom!

Went for 18" Performance Alloys, Rear Spoiler, Tech Pack, Full Link and Convenience Pack Plus. I really wanted the Adaptive Cruise but no stock cars had this.

Pick it up in a few weeks! Excited. Can't wait to get out of this Ibiza.

But I still prefer Alor Blue lol.

Blue cars are nice, Had red and never again get to hot inside, Worse than black cars I've had, plus if it fades you get a Pink car lol:cry:

Alor is really nice, I love it. But the Mrs hates it being so bright, so was a no go.

Red really suits the Leon - I didn't think red cars fade nowadays?

I nearly ordered a Cupra in Alor Blue with the Orange Line pack. I ended up ordering Nevada White with the Black Line pack! I had to keep reminding myself that I'm 42!!! :-D

There is a guy near me with a Lima green SC FR and to be fair it looks bloody awesome in the flesh.
He's offset the green with gloss black wing mirrors, black 18" alloys and a black rear spoiler.
Looks very very nice!

I do like the emotion red & the alor blue as well.

I'd have the Lima Green out of all those choices, purely because you don't see many about.

He's a bloke who loves cars who's waiting for his new one!

I've got a Lima Green one because the offer was too good to pass up on but i wanted alor blue, that's lovely. The green has actually grown on me more, wasn't sure at first but i'm definitely warming to it as the weeks go by. I've only ever had positive comments on the colour but at the same time everyone says living with it would be a different story.
I wouldn't mind doing something like AndyG mentions and add some black details.
