Mk2 Leon Cupra Rs in Black?

[bete noir]

I did not think that the Mk2 Leon Cupra R was available in black, but then I saw this one clicky, which made me wonder if there are actually a few out there. Anyone know?

never seen a black one... until that one.

Yep there was. SEAT UK had a black one which was wrapped matte black over the top. That could actually be the other because it was a 10 plate.

Not sure why they have removed the Cupra and R badge and fitted a Volkswagen R badge.

I know they did it but that's the first one I have seen

Is it proper black, or that weird purple colour?

 

[AndrewJB]

Proper black.

Thinking about it apart from the Matte black one, I've never seen another black one... so pretty sure that is the ex-SEAT UK press car.

KS10 EFA was the reg.

Thanks, that is the info I was looking for. It is the same car.

Press car eh, that will have been spanked a few times then

 

[AndrewJB]

It will have.. I have driven it haha.

I previously had one of the Yellow press cars.. it had a lot of service history with it but did have some issues aswell like wheels being in awful condition.

Often wondered what happened to EFA, I was convinced it was turned into a race car for Dunlop cup.

Like London buses, you wait ages for one to come along...

 

[Zipcode]

thats what I thought.... but the release of the bus app really helped sort that issue out

I don't know why anyone would want a black one, all the nice little gloss black styling tweaks (mirrors, spoiler tip etc..) just disappear.

 

[LeonCR]

Is it me or does the gear stick look odd in that 2nd one ?

 

[AndrewJB]

Yes it does.. its not the correct one.

But the whole body becomes a "gloss black styling tweak" . I know what you mean, but I have a thing for black cars.

It is 'correct'. I've come across a number of 2011 model Cupra R's that have that gear knob.
I say this as i've been on the search for the other version since I bought my 2011 LCR which has the same gear knob .

Not sure why Seat did it.... but I want the other style one which is no longer being made
