Not the best, because of the lighting, but you can see the reddish metallic fleck in the Black colour, looks alright, still not sure if id go for black though.

It is gorgeous in black, impressive I must say. Thanks for the pics!
Am I being colour blind or does the black have hints of deep purple? Or is it the Motor Show massive lightning?

Black better than Yellow IMO, see what you mean about the large plastic bit at the bottom of the windscreen but remember this is under intense lights and might not be as bad outside.

Agree with m0rk on the mirrors, looks odd on the black one.

Discreet it what I think it is, not too in yer face but enough to stand out.

I'd be very interested of your opinion (as I think we agree?) once you have seen it in real life. Does anyone have an idea when dealers might get one? I can't make the motor show

I'll post my opinion up once I've been mate as I think we're thinking along similar lines along with a couple of other peeps

Certainly does seem to polarise opinions

Gotta say though the front seats look the bollox, and if they hold you better than the current Recaros I'd seriously think about getting a pair for the LCR

when we were at the new leon launch the black plastic tray did stand out on the black car, i fancy the red myself

OK - the car you see is a possible UK spec car (RHD)

It has a cupra engine, Brembo's (but it's likely that on the continent the Brembo's will be an option, but not UK market)

So it will have brembo's

There's like a big wishlist of options & they try & get it at the right price.

No price is set, but it's not ever gonna be 20k, no brembo's

DSG isn't on the list yet, even as an option, but it's likely that it will have the option with flappy paddles for about £700

They're gonna be tight....

I'm a 34" waist - and they're just touching on both sides

I doubt they'll fit the LCR

 

[sportbilly]

DSG is on my wishlist for my next car for sure.

Depends on the red, if its like the prototype red then maybe...

What you can't quite make out is the aubergine colour that's in the black paint. it is unique to the Cupra - looks kinda purpley - but nice.

 

[DIFT]

anymore pics of the black one ?

 

[m0rk]

Z's already posted the link... http://www.seatcupra.net/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.ShowItem&g2_itemId=7695

very very hard to photo though. can't use the flash, so it's all on appature timing.

Gorgeous.

That's my colour choice made up.

I've got to say that black is a fantastic colour. Quite sumptuous.

Cheers m0rk

That's interesting to know

I'm same waist so no probs there

I appreciate it won't be a strait swap in terms of the seats but I might end up keeping my LCR for a track car so might be something to look at down the line
