yeah I have just doen the same as you, insured it as a 290T and come renewal in February I the correct car will be on everyones system
What do folk on here think about gap insurance?
A good thing and would definitely recommend?
Or just a scam that you should just ignore?

I would definitely recommend. If your cars stolen or written off the insurance will only pay the market value which may not be enough to cover any outstanding finance you have against the car. I got mine from ALA. It also offers back to invoice price making it easier to get a new replacement.
Cheers for response. I get what the purpose of it is but I had assumed that because it is only going to be a 24 month lease the market value should still be enough? (or am I being extremely niave)
Got the call we have been waiting for, booked delivery for Tuesday 
Ordered on the 2nd February so quite a wait.

It also covers remainng payments that you may be liable for, you need to check the finance agreement.
So if it got written off in month 1 you could be liable for the next 23 payments.
I'm gonna take GAP insurance out.... I live in Bradford, big problem hear with local scum stealing mostly hi-powered Vw's Audi's, BMW's etc
It was a major consideration before I ordered the Cupra ST and run the risk of putting my wife and I in danger,
Everyday in the local news, you here of burglary's were thieves have broken into the house to steal keys to hi-powered cars
also drivers being targeted followed and confronted by armed men car jacking at traffic lights etc
It's like the norm so there's a real risk of mine becoming a statistic, I'd be very foolish of me not to take out the insurance so at least if it's stolen i wont be left with loads of debt and no car...
Cheers, will investigate and consider.
Received a supplier arrival date of 17 November from Nationwide this morning for my ST so looks like things are finally starting to progress.
Use ALA68 on the ALA website to get a bit of a reduction (up to 10%). I am just starting to look as my BW42 ST 4drive is 2 hours away from docking in Grmsby (Pegasus Ace if anyone as sad as me wants to track it)

Or mse25 for 25% off
Don't trip over yourself with GAP insurance. I took a policy with ALA, however I checked my Aviva car insurance policy and they will cover the full amount of a total loss if the car is less than a year old. Check your car insurance T's&C's.
with a lease make sure it also covers your initial payment meaning you don't need to dig deep for a deposit again!Cheers for the info/discount codes/advice guys.
Quick update on my BW41, ST 300 4Drive. The broker confirms it is on route to, or at the dealership. I have a few forms to click sign in the next 48 hours and we should be able to arrange delivery soon. We had a good chat about the whole Winter Pack mistake, and it clearly was initiated by SEAT themselves. Not bothered about it personally, just looking forward to getting the car.
I just called CS to speak about the winter pack debacle etc.. turns out my wk42 ST 4drive has been at the dealer since yesterday but I have still not been informed by Wessex felt or the dealer that it’s even been build, let alone shipped or arrived in the UK
Someones trying to tell you not to have a Cupra!!!!
I’m not in a rush for delivery though... still trying to get a deal to swap into a Lux.. and if that doesn’t happen, I’m trying to get them to fit side skirts as compensation for all the mucking around
also I still have the Golf on loan thats costing nothing so a bit of a delay is no real issue at this stage.
Does anyone have a full steering wheel Disklok and if so what size, I am guessing small?
Is it also worth getting the cover to protect the wheel as well.

So your car was built and delivered within 4 weeks? That's pretty good going.
Tbf when mine got delivered in Feb the dealership weren't aware until I contacted them after having spoken with CS.
Hopefully you'll get your lux. If not it seems it's easier to get the goodwill gestures considering:
*WLTP delay
*De-tune (5dr only)
*Miss advertising of specification
*"Unwelcomed" new design
