Cool tomtom integration. :)

Dimming sound on the speakers etc. Hope it will remain compatable with the ipod/usb kit.

oooh - and if the Cupra is "sharing" the spotlight - I wonder if we'll get a few more official pics ;)

More thoughts on the tomtom - I wonder where this will sit with the expensive sat nav option. Also that tomtom has built in bluetooth handsfree calling. I guess this will be fed through the speakers doing away with Seat's bluetooth kit and steering wheel controls?

Questions questions..... :think:

The TOMTOM integration is a good move i think, why buy an expensive integrated unit, they are more expensive to update, looking forward to hopefully more Cupra piccys ;)

Yes, it will stop people sticking them smack in the middle of their windscreen obstructing their view as well. Someone was done for that recently.

The Tomtom option looks interesting. And I’m surprised that more companies haven’t come up with similar ideas.

But won’t it in that position just make a bigger blind spot in the front. I guess I’ll find out when I’m there in a few weeks. :dance:

Drop a CD of the pics round to Syphons house on a lunchtime, it only round the corner from your work.

Tell Mrs Syphon you have Scott's Sex Wee pictures and leave :cartman:

If you do drop the pics off, wear protection as he's likely to explode at the door. :cartman:

I could always print a few off and get them laminated.

They might last a little longer being wipe clean.

Had a great time at the Paris motorshow. Defiantly work visiting if you get a chance.

The Seat stand was pretty good, but didn’t have as many cars on it as I was expecting.

There some pics below if anyone’s interested.

A pair of white viper stripes and it could be a Focus St rather than the new S3
