Too many
They were all built as Cupra's then had the Aero kit added at the port of entry along with the Astra VXR exhaust.
Lol. Same old story then still loving them.
The kits were fitted at port of entry in the UK as they were a UK special edition. Every one arrived in the UK looking just like a standard Cupra.
Thats a confusing post and I can see why that could confuse people as its not been researched properly.
I've moved it out of the FAQ area because its mis-leading.
All K1's 'should' have the same SEAT Aero kit, they were all fitted at port of entry (ie once they arrived in the UK). K1's should be centre exit exhaust though a valance kit was available for the Aero kit from day one that was designed for a centre exit
White K1 from the original SEAT UK Leon K1 press release (note the slatted gills on the front)
and solid grille style on the back
This kit has been used countless times by SEAT in different guises.
From 2006 named the Aero (BTCC) kit notice the similarities.

Below in silver is the first known Leon with an Aero kit in the UK, taken at the Autosport show in early 2006, it was a blinged up left hand drive car they had brought in from Spain. Notice the centre exit exhaust.
Now to add confusion, at the factory they introduced a Linea R which was sold in Spain and other parts of Europe. As far as we are aware this car and body kit never came to the UK. SEAT UK may of used one or parts of the kit initially for K1 product shots but the actual kit on the Linea R differs ever so slightly to the K1.
The front and rear gills appear to have grilles instead of the K1 (aero) kit gills/blades call them what you will.
Linea R front intake gill/grille
Linea R rear intake gill/grille - double exit exhaust
