MK3 SEAT Leon CUPRA's owner's register

[Jordan McCabe]

Looks Great !

Funny to think how worried I was about the Desire Red / Copper Combo, I love it now, Just hoping mine is on the boat at the moment (BW45)

I've just put an order in for a silver one but looking at these pics of the red I'm having second thoughts

I was genuinely shocked to see how good it looked in the end after all the worrying I did and would say if you ordered Red you’d be very happy with it.

I will once it’s on and clean. It’ll probably be tomorrow by then though.

Still got the CUPRA to take off yet.

I dare you to change it to COPRA and offer it for sale here. You might get takers

If you did and I had a COPRA. I’d take it and put it on my car just to be different. At least it would be a one off.

 

[Seriously?]

For anyone worried about their Copra...

I should have said that this was recorded with the parcel shelf and boot carpet removed. Without doing that, you can’t hear a sausage!

I ordered my ST with Seat Sound in March and he has told me that this is now Beats

I figured you'd done something like that.

A little suprised to hear that it's that quiet without doing so, especially after seeing/hearing the clips of the 290s and 300s on YouTube.

I can imagine it sounds decent from the outside.

Finally picked mine up today, and enjoyed the 220 mile drive home.

Very similar to my Golf GTI I just returned on lease. Cupra has a nicer interior I think and the digital cockpit is along with apple play.

Golf had heated seats, keyless entry and the cruise control with the sensors as standard so will miss those abit.

Car sounds much better than the golf,on start up and driving, I would say it sounds like it’s got the power, where as the golf sounded like a 1.2.

The fake sound is annoying but again the Golfs was worse in sport mode.

Not as noisey as I expected with the bangs and DSG farts I was expecting a lot more, it’s got some noise but I think it’s very quiet compared to the old 300 videos.

Overall very pleased with the car, I expect the exhaust will get noisey over time, but even so the noise it makes compared to my GTI is much louder.

Someone else was picking there one up from IMG parked next to mine as I was driving away today at lunchtime, not sure if it was anytime else on here.

Yea the sound insulation seems good too good maybe not sure wether to get a res delete or not. These cars seem really well screwed together the doors and the bonnet are so heavy. Feels a lot more premium than my mk2 r although the r seats win.

Had a good drive down some twisty roads today in manual mode was good fun great levels of grip and strong brakes.

Trying to run some insurance quotes to see what a new Cupra would cost. Struggling to see which version to choose in the list on the insurance companies websites. I think it should be Cupra 5 door 290 TSI or similar? But I can't seem to find that?!?

Hi.
If you need any help with insurance at all then please feel free to drop me a line.
Regards,
Dan.

Out of interest, what tyres are they sending on the cars at the moment...

Hi,

If anyone can help me will really appreciate!

Is it possible to retrofit the adaptive cruise control sensor on already built MY18 cupra?
And second. Do anyone has any info for an upgrade of the virtual cockpit software to match the functions on MY19?

Thank you!

I haven't seen anything about anyone retrofitting ACC but from looking at the parts catalogue the radar is the same so it could well be possible with just changing the steering wheel stalks and some coding.

When I get mine I'm going to see if I can get it to work just via coding but I don't expect it will.

Yeah 5 minute job to replace.

Definitely keen on this for mine is it ever gets delivered... was it just a matter of popping the old ones off and the new ones on, or many tools required?

Edit** not sure how the process differs for the ST.
