Sorry for sounding daft - but I thought the K1 was a standard cupra bought from the seat dealer and spec'd with the optional body kit, that was fitted in the uk after purchase!!!!!!
Help confused:
My point was that the dealer a seat dealer at that, aren't advertising it as a k1, there advertising it as a seat Leon cupra 2.0t fsi, so this surely means the kit was fitted later, hence the car not being a k1??
Ahhhh I see
1 more little question ~~
What model cupra does the seat dealer fit the body kit too then to make it a true K1..

So if every cupra owner fitted the bttc body kit does that make there car a k1???
No -
- it would make it a cupra with a BTCC body kit fitted.Cheers Mr Cellotape - good answer, thanks very much.......

Appreciate they are all the same cars but I'm more concerned about if the car is actually insured.
If it's on the V5 that the car is a cupra and it has modifications (a body kit) I didn't mention it when I sorted my insurance am I covered ok or is it classed as an option?

If you bought the Cupra with the very good 'Cupra' private plate, the kit was fitted about 2 years after it was first registered!

No idea where I got a month after then
That plate got me stopped after only 10 days of owning it
Ooooo... Halfrauds kit, tidy! I'll see what the book says on Sunday!
I think it seems the whole 'K1' concept was a con - trick by SEAT to shift some unpopular and probably over-produced BTCC / WTCC bodykits.
Personally the only part of that kit worth having is the side skirts.
The bumpers just look vile and overweight with false vents etc.
I was never a fan of the rear spoiler as it is far too 'Boy racer' for my tastes.
I am not knocking other members cars by the way, as the K1 can look quite striking, I just think it doesn't look like a Leon Mk2 anymore, which for me is one of the best looking hatchbacks ever designed.

the rear spoiler on the FL models is less boy racer in my opinion, seems to fit/suite the car better, but again not as in your face if thats what your after
