Limited edition Seat Leon ‘Copa’

Looking at the German launch pics, the brakes look the same as standard.

Also had a look at the spec on the German SEAT site and they make no reference to the brakes either. They do say it's on Eibach springs, though.

From what information we have it comes with

+ revised suspension
+ uprated brakes (brembo?)
+ new map
+ custom mats, seats and whatever else

and it will all be in warranty so for another 1-2k on top that's not a bad deal and more of a good one. To some people warranty matters...

I wouldn't buy one but that's not the point.

Yeah I agree, but it is not for sale here, so we will never know what it would have cost here.

Realistically though, the cost to replace parts is not much as you dont use the original part when adding uprated brakes, springs, ECU code etc so realistically the cost is minimal for SEAT to add all these things whereas for us, we would have to pay for things twice.

Personally, I take magazine articles with a pinch of salt though. If you look in the link above it said this car has a new body kit which it doesn't as its the Aero kit, and the pics available don't show Brembo brakes either, only stock Cupra ones. So if the price was £2000 more (which it most likely wouldnt be as we always pay over the odds in the UK) you are really only getting a mild £500 remap, £100 of Eibach springs and some nasty stripes for £5 out of Halfrauds.

Dont get me wrong, I would be tempted with one myself if I never already had a Cupra, and if the price was £21k and if the stripes and Aero kit could be taken off, A lot of ifs there though

Hi guys, I was wondering if anyone knows the exact dimensions of the 2 black stripes on the hood of the Leon Copa? I have a white FR and would like to "upgrade" it with those stripes, but I want it to look just like the original ones on the Copa.
