Hello,

It's W8Z paint code.

It's been on quite a few Seat's in the past.

You can toggle them around here


Using that technique it did actual tally with Syphons white with a hint of green in it. You have to look at a car in the flesh with it to see what other colour is going on, if there is one.

Audi seem to call it Tundra Brown


Perhaps a Google translate of Timanfaya is in order. That didn't work but heading in the right direction 😉

Spain and that colour.

It's on Seat Leon Cupra Timanfaya Metallic W8Z also Ibiza under the name of brown.

Think you got to head to their small colour model displays in a show room, read the bottom paint code then ask to see a car in that on the forecourt. All the indications are metallic brown. Timanfaya is Cupra's posh name for it.

Thank you for the info. There was never seat/cupra car in that colour in my country. That Audi code was really helpful. Unfortunately I was hoping this colour is something like BMW's mineral grey or maybe Audi's Daytona, but this one looks really brown especially in daylight.

Here's mine, front side picture with nearly clear sky, front-side picture in cloudy circumstances.. however the Cupra store described it as Grey/Brown.. I personally never saw brown in this color.. the only exception: when my neighbour parks his graphene gray Cupra next to mine..

Looks really nice, thank you for the pics. Now I'm curious to see them side by side. :ROFLMAO:

On topic: I can provide that picture in the next couple of days.

Off topic: Yesterday someone wanted to take the same picture I think... But the guy must have had an eye-hand coordination problem, result: planted his beamer straight into my neighbour's Formentor right side...

Slight off-topic - The choice of colours with the Terramar is really causing me an issue. Dealers don't have "real" cars to look at, and the colours online vary so much, even when reviewers say it's "Timanfaya Grey" in one review and then in another, the car looks completely different. It's that or the "Fjord Blue:".

Coming from a Formentor VZ3 Matte Blue, the choices are not making me excited.

I know what you mean,.. after my order, I got this "Congrats, here is your Cupra manufacturing date" mail.. with a summary of options, including colour option + preview picture.. I thought I messed up, using the configurator.

Personally I think the only colour that really stands out is the grey/green-ish 'Enceladus Grey Matt' exclusive colour for the VZ AC.

Across the Cupra range... rather hoping to find it used on other Vag brands but no at the minute it seems exclusive to Cupra. Early Sunday morning fun task task on paint codes to see where else it's used. Yes so currently exclusive to Cupra.

Sorry to have derailed this thread. Cupra UK appears to be really lacking in detail (and cars to look at) at the moment.

I was desperate to find this colour Matte Green/Blue (depends on the lighting??) - but even with a VPN to Spain, I couldn't find this as an option on the Cupra website. :(
I also couldn't find any Enceladus Grey cars anywhere or any proper swatches to look at. With a £2k price tag I wanted to confirm it didn't look like primer before I ordered it. My local dealer wouldn't even add it to my order, said the "colour isn't available yet". So I've ended up ordering the Fjord Blue.

Sorry, I didn't meant exclusive colour for Cupra.. but for the Terramar, the option is only available for the VZ Americas Cup.. at least here in Europe.. bet we'll see a Golf 9 R 'exclusive' colour option named "Performance grey satin" with the same paint code... *Place your bet*
