Looking good.
However those two pictures make me nervous because they show how much the front spoiler juts out.
We need to be extra careful when parking front up to a high curb!!!

Haha, true, but it doesn’t sit any where near as low as the TRC splitter I had on the last one.
Damo, I’m getting a TRC splitter- not worried about kerbs as I won’t often need to park up them but i’m a little concerned about speed bumps & car park ramps etc. Was the remaining clearance enough to get over obstacles like these without problems?
Yeah, so long as you’re not lowering it too. I only ever scraped it once but that was in an extreme circumstance coming out of a field at a steep angle, thankfully no damage. Normal pot holes and speed bumps are fine.
To be honest I always reverse park into spaces so kerb and splitters are not normally a worry.
Interesting.
Looking on the broker Coast2Coast Cars they are listing the Carbon Edition...but the one colour is stated as Midnight Black and with black leather !!!
Another batch being turned out or just a mistake?

I would think so.
Other than me and thee not many owners it seems of the 50 we know about...and I'm not really an owner yet!!!
True. Although I’m doing my best to reduce it to 49 and make mine 1 of 1...
Sadly stripes need to be redone if you look closely...
Love the look of these. I wonder if anyone will replicate the grill fogs to remove the standard Cupra fog light grills????
No, for the 300. From what I can tell the bumper mould looks the same it is just the inner fog set up that is different along with the additional splitter, but I could be wrong....
The Carbon edition has the same fog surrounds as the standard 300. Only difference on the front is the splitter, and that just screws onto the exact same bumper as any 300/290 facelift.
Just like my car - I keep a low profile (mostly).
Interesting PH article comparing the RS2 mentioned earlier and the very reason I got my Carbon. Blue Alcantara and babies wasn't a great combination, but now he's driving age I'm rediscovering the fun from before - without the immense turbo lag that could catch you out.
Back to wheels,a potential winter set for the Carbon.
If I went with 19s (although the tyres cost more) I've noticed these at a good reduced price...simple design for easy cleaning:

So is there any reason these wouldn't fit?

There is only one query on the the advert, is it 5x112 or 5x114.2 it can’t be both with only five holes on the alloy. Also make sure they give you a spigot rings to make it fit 57.1mm. Otherwise these should fit.
If they mention using wobble bolts, say no and find another set that is a direct fit.
^What he said, plus ‘damn those wheels are ugly’ #Sorry
But then winter wheels are meant to be function over form I suppose.
Yes,they are there for a purpose.
Painted,NOT diamond cut.
Easy to clean design
Cheap...your best wheels for the other 8 months.
Anyway,I'm still undecided and may still go for the TD pro race which apparently fit in 18"
