Don't call me stoopid, but where exactly is the 'Cupra' badge officially supposed be on the back of the Leon?
The pics of other peoples motors on here and the very few I have seen on the road, all the badges don't seem to follow a pattern!
Some are under the 'Seat ' badge, others on the opposite side under or on top of the 'Leon 20VT' badge!!!
Any advice would be greatfully received as I have got my Cupra badge at home, just waiting for my 20VT to stick it on! ;)
It goes directly beneath the cupra holder......on the left hand side above ra stereo.
orrrrr......
You could have a long hard stare at Lee's rear end....here:-

Mine was one of the first UK Leon Cupra's, it was ordered in April 2000 and cam into the country 1 week before Sept 1st with about 20 others in a UK consignment.
This is the version that came with everything, ESP, Rain Senors, Leather as Standard, Anti Dazzle Interior View Mirror, Auto Dipping side mirror.
Lee (Cupraman) was also able to get himself one of these a few months after me, and there are a few others are knocking about also, but they were pretty much canned only 3 months later and replaced by the then Sport version which was then rebadged Cupra.
It doesnt seem to matter, Lee's is on the opposite side to mine under his SEAT badge i believe, my own is under the word Leon with the flag part of the Logo directly underneath the letter "L" of Leon.
So if you were to go off mine then being one of the first in the UK ;) smug
Then that may be correct, but im sure Lee will argue his is correct.
To be honest doesnt matter, just the way the factory decided to stick em on, some as you know dont even arrive with them. :(
In my case ive got one on the boot, and one on each wing too, just to get the point across that its a CUPRA :D

Cheers guys,
I will put on a blindfold, get someone to spin me round a few times, point me in the direction of the car and see where it ends up!:D
so you'll get your mate to point you in the general direction of Europe then.... :D :rolleyes:

OK, LOL!
I'm hoping I'll have the car within 2 weeks, it was built last week and I have the VIN number, just waiting for it to get to my man in Holland.
I have had a look at your car ZBOYD and the badges look good below your nice clear indicator lenses on the wings, you not got one on your new 'Cupra V6' grill yet?
