Will do, I am the only person who has ordered one there, so that should work in my favour too I hope. My sales man is 99% certain I will get one. I have requested to have it on a 69 plate as it will be released so close to the new reg change.
Yeah good choice on waiting for the 69 reg and I admire your patience.
I just want one ASAP so went for the Blackness Grey one, but it’s not the greatest colour.
Black or Magnetic Grey would be better.
I’m also only person at my Cupra Dealer to order one, but they never mentioned anything about possible not getting one due to high demand

Ordered mine last month at my local dealer who is a Cupra specialist. Colour is Magnetic tech grey with sunroof and I have been given a build date of September! I might have it in time for Christmas

What's the blackness grey look like compared to magnetic grey? I tried googling it quickly but all images seem to be magnetic grey. I'm now curious.
See the pictures that KernelOkey has posted in this thread and also in the pictures thread.
They are the only ones I’ve seen so far.
Must be on the same ship as mine
My dealer is now saying early June - so fingers crossed they're all winging their way from ship to dealer
I was told 7th may it arrived in country and it would be 7-10 days until it was at dealership, seat themselves told me that. Lease company said that process would actually be 2-3 weeks, and I wont get paperwork to sign etc until it arrived at dealership as it needs to be registered first.
That happened this Tuesday, exactly 2 weeks since it arrived in UK. I have delivery booked for 7th June. So exactly a month from it landing to uk to delivery.
You can see the different colours on the Cupra website: https://www.cupraofficial.com/cars/leon-cupra-r/leon-cupra-r-st.html
After seeing the pics I agree with you, I also prefer the magnetic grey. Like you've stated above the colour on their own webpage doesn't resemble it at all.
Mine must have been on the same ship as yours, it arrived in the UK the same time and got to the dealer in a similar time frame as arrived on Monday. My dealer told me about a week from arriving in the UK but ended up being 2.
Blackness Grey is a weird one. First, its not metallic.
Second it changes color depending on light. Looks better in person and every1 so far that has seen the car thinks it look amazing and really suit the car ( I agree )
Third, it feels sooooo good to have a paint that you dont see 400times every day

Oh man that's depressing! Who was your leasing firm? Wonder if going direct through SEAT makes any difference? The dealership promised and promised I'd have it by the end of May and that's one of the only reasons I signed for it. Hmmm disappointing to hear these stories to say the least.
Who's your dealer? I've been crossing everything for the last 2 weeks now
can't cope with any more waiting. Don't know how you folks who have insane lead times put up with it to be honest. Some people wait 16 weeks for Christ sake, I think I'd rather not bother!Blackness Grey is a weird one. First, its not metallic.

Thanks for this info.
I was thinking it looked non metallic, and although your car is fantastic, I was a bit worried if I would like this colour in the flesh after ordering one.
But as you say it’s better in person it makes me feel more comfortable

It makes the car look evil is a few comments
Leasing firm was leasing options.
I would suspect / hope that having it direct through seat it would be quicker. Depends if your leasing or buying through them I suppose. They have to jump through same hoops for lease i bet.
I don't understand setting expectations the way they have. Surely it's a better sales tactic giving me a longer lead time and smashing it, than a shorter one and getting noway near it. Just be honest with me, tell me there's no chance of May delivery and we can all get on with our lives!
Seems to have been a really popular car with the leasing firms the Cupra. I hope it doesn't go the same way the Golf R did, from it being a rare and beautiful sight to seeing one on every street corner.
