Does anyone know the exact 'font' used for the 'CUPRA (as on the seats)' and 'K1' logos.
Ideally i'd like to try and replicate as best match as possible as trying to work with a custom car mat company to design some.

Any help would be much appreciated

Is that not a breach of copyright there?
h8t wp has created both logos in a vector format and made them into stickers for the rear of the car, he has hi res vector files to use for this but he is still banned from here maybe ask a mod to get in touch with him

Thanks.
I don't think it's copyright breach is it!
Was just in case they may ask I can provide details of nearest fit font face.
Hopefully hot wp will be back soon

I sent an email to justmatz today asking them the same. I`ll let you know what they say.
I tried Arnold Clark but they don`t do any K1 or Cupra mats. I can`t find Cupra ones anywhere :(
Technically, if you are replicating 'CUPRA' with the font, it is copyright. No idea if Ki1 is. Its also subject to how you use it.
However, if you wanted to write Joe Bloggs Car Mats in the Cupra font, providing it wasn't a SEAT registered only font, then it wouldnt be a problem...
....but being devils advocate, car manufactures will come after you if your looking for profit and passing something off as OEM or licenced product. Have a search on Autoblog for Ford, Shelby and copyright. I remember stories on their of message boards, clubs etc being banned form using logos.
So having said all that, if you have a good image, use this site http://new.myfonts.com/WhatTheFont/
you may hit the nail on the head or get something close
Thanks.

Yep just had an e-mail back from justmatz with a quote as per my mockup.
The 'CUPRA' is done in 911 Porsha font. (free download).
The 'K1' they had to custom replicate
They have quoted for my design, which in summary consists of;
2 front deluxe mats in black with red border and plastic lugs to fit original fixings; CUPRA written on the RHS and the K1 logo in the middle at the bottom (K in red, 1 in Grey). I don't think they can border the K in grey but waiting confirmation on that.
Not cheap @ £99 + £10 delivery but nethertheless still tempted.
I'll post some piccies when they arrive. Have also asked them to give a reference number in case anyone else wants to order

here is the mockup i sent, hopefully they will be able to come up with something close.
I have asked for red border on mat when being made;

I think the K1 logo would look better under the brake pedal in the middle of the 'square' bit. Also ask about the silver bordering round the K as per the logo ;)

I did ask originally about the bordering around the K but this apparently is too fiddly but they can do it without. Not ideal but personally think something that is fitting with the car is a good thing.
I have considered the logos in many places, thinking of swapping the 'CUPRA' and 'K1@ positions from original design.
Understand may look good under the brake pedal but my main concern was to keep the logos free from the heavier traffic areas on the mat. If under the brake pedal worried migh deterioate afer time
