Well - it's week 4 next week so my replacement ST should be in build. Should have MY2018 upgrades and digital cockpit too. ;)

One thing no-one seems to be able to tell me is what finish the 300 ST roof rails have now.

Looking around at existing 300 ST's , most seem to be matte black, regardless of whether any performance pack (as evidenced by wheels/Brembo calipers in pictures) is fitted or not.

Anyone with a recent 300 able to comment on what they got please?

All 300s are the same - they all have black roof rails and the same wheels.

There is no longer a Performance Pack, or an alloy wheel option.

Thanks - Google images reveal a fair few 2017 cars with silver rails but I’m happy if that’s the case for MY2018

My 4drive was built end of November and has black grill mirrors and rails. Looks way better than chrome IMO

I must admit I think the black rails look better than chrome especially with black accents with wheels, mirrors, door caps and grill. Looking at pics of kine most St's seem to have the black rear screen fins fitted. Are these now std on cupra?

Was also thinking to change before order, but black is better.

They became standard on the facelift. However there was a production delay of a few weeks at the start of production resulting in some very early 300's missing them.

Aha - that'll be the press cars that are all over google then.... :rolleyes:

Early ones didn't have them. I bought mine and added them myself. Think it was a factory build issue (i.e. they didn't have any), but they are standard now.
