Apparently according to my Local SEAT dealer, there is not going to be a Bocenegra!!!!
But there is 'In the Pipeline' a Aero styling kit that may be available later in the year! Or early next year!
SO my thoughts are that it will be an option limited to the CUPRA and FR or just the Cupra
ALso they have withheld releasing any further info on the CUPRA as they have managed to Obtain 210BHP out of the CUPRA engine!!! And have not decided which to use!
They are also supposed to have a 'Tuning' package for around £500 that will take it to 240 BHP for the CUpra and for the FR (Didn;t say to what)
Diesel Cupra release OCT 09! with a price roughly around £15,500
\so not sure about the Bocanegra and may be just a styling kit instead
I really hope not but the Dealer was adament!!!
Please note that all this was told to me by a dealer so it may not be 100% accurate
I'm not sure where to begin on this one...! Seriously though, I think there's a case of 'Lost in Translation' here. I'll keep it short:
6. There is no tuning package planned
Glad there's so much interest in the Bocanegra - can't wait to get the car out to the press (international press launch is in early July, so look out for articles soon after).

Hi Mike
With so many other manufacturers (Vauxhall / Ford / Saab / BMW etc...) offering tuning packs, when are SEAT/VAG going to 'wake up' to this opportunity and start tapping this lucrative market? Buyers would love it as it would enable retention of warranty, and manufacturers would benefit from increased revenue streams. Many thanks in advance.
Hi Warren,
It's something we are always looking into - and have been recently - but the Group-wide warranty situation is certainly an obstacle. But rest assured that it's not something we are oblivious to - we know the demand is out there, especially from a lot of the guys using SCN.
Watch this space!

I'm always surprised that the core SEAT hot hatch market (the UK) has to go without when we have seen Greece get a Revo'd car a couple of years back, and then in other European countries there have seen hot Leon Mk2 Cupra's launched.
The only thing that worries me is how the dealer group would cope - Audi can't even diagnose a faulty spark plug with Audi Master Technicians, so I guess there would be a steep learning curve for dealers if modifications and upgrades services weren't handled / tendered out to a preferred UK based tuning supplier.
Thanks for the feedback.
Good find, I like the copper colour, reminds me of my old 16vGTI in Copper.
i think that's why i like it so much
mind you the orignal 70's one isn't half bad either
