Spotted a facelift Cupra yet?

[Wee-nemo]

Just an odd question to drop in, has anybody (probably mostly aimed at facelift Cupra owners) seen another one out and about yet? I've had mine 6 months and only today saw another - Nevada White, identical to mine, looking radiant as it let me converge into traffic. And I had to go to Yorkshire to happen across it.

Hung back so I could give a same-model-thumbs-up to the driver (Am I the only one that does this!?) and was dismayed as it sailed past to see trade plates hanging off the rear wiper There must be others out there, I mean its nice to have something exclusive but it's lonely not being able to have a little impromptu race with another owner occasionally. Happily some pre-facelift owners seem obliging enough but it just isn't the same, is it?

I have seen one Cupra FL and a few older ones. Not a common car. There is Fabia RS around every corner but Polo GTI and Cupras are rare.

I've seen a couple now. One as I was on my way to test drive one. That was black, didn't like, black hides the lines. Then saw a white one the other day. It is pretty exclusive. Shame they didn't make the cupra stand out a bit. Make it a bit more obvious

Quite a few pre facelift ones near home but there doesn't seem to have been much take up on the revised model. FRs and Cupras are pretty easy to spot from behind by the angular tail lights. Must say the red one shown on Top Gear a few months ago looked very good, still I like the dark grey most though.

I've never seen another one. My dealer said he has only ever sold one - mine!

 

[Wee-nemo]

Same here pretty much, my car was 800 miles and 5 months old when I bought it, given the dealers standard 20 mile test route that's probably as many as 30-40 people came to test it in those 5 months, yet my dealer said I was the first person to actually buy a facelift Cupra. Was a while ago though, might have shifted more by now although I'll be damned if I can find them locally!

I have never seen a new one anywhere in Newcastle! Just mine!

The only one I've seen is a White one normally on the A1 at Birtly just after 6 pm. Spotted it a few times when I'm on my way home from work. Is that you mate?

 

[S28TTE]

No mate that's not me! We need to try and get a meet going up here!

The one I saw was black knocking around shiremoor area.

I see one every morning driving into Manchester city center, there is a polite sent in both directions...

I've seen a white one going about the north east region on the a1. I've got a speed blue pre facelift so you guys wouldn't take an interest in mine.

 

[S28TTE]

When was this scott as I seen a blue one the other day!

 

[Scott Millar]

Where did you see that? I think I recall seeing a white one the other day but I can't recall where it was.

I remember seeing one a few weeks back at the round about just off the a1
at chester le street heading up Stanley direction. Also had one pass me a few months back now driving past the new bus depot next to Costco round the back of the Metrocentre.

 

[S28TTE]

I seen one on the a1 heading north near Kingston Park. I've only had mine 2 weeks! But I was in chest le street the weekend I got it!

 

[Scott Millar]

I don't think that was me on that occasion but not certain. I seen a mk3 Leon Cupra last week so I may be getting confused with that but I'm sure I have a feeling I saw a white Ibiza cupra at some point recently.

I have seen another speed blue on a couple of occasions also so there is definitely another one in the area.
