CUPRA Born Forum

Please meet 'Kit' , purchase end of June.

Nice! I don't know about the UK, but here in Portugal it's rare to see the Aurora Blue, despite it being the launch colour they used in all the ads, which usually becomes the most popular colour for a car, at least initially.

Nice. Are you referencing KITT (Knight Industries Two Thousand) as in Knight Rider?

Yes. No resemblance I know except some part of the front of the Born. Just need the narrow band of light going to and fro across the front narrow bit!.

Thank You. I had to pay extra to obtain the Aurora Blue as the greater majority of the Born's in the UK seem to appear one form of grey or another along with the very occasional white. Also the Cupra 'copper' trims etc goes better with the blue too.

I have seen a 'red' Born on this thread (taken in Australia may be?) which I do like but that is not available in the UK otherwise may of gone for it.

Vapour grey is the “free” colour so most of them, including mine, are that colour.

Red used to be available in the UK and I’ve seen a couple in the wild. It looks very nice but I think aurora blue is the one, so good for you.

I've seen a couple of red Borns here in Portugal and Spain. They do look awesome, although the ones I've seen have the silver highlights on the Typhoon wheels, which does work better with the red, but they left the other copper bits (grille, bonnet badge etc) as copper, so it's a bit of a mess.

The Blue is a really nice colour though. I was undecided between Blue and White. Ended up with White as being in a hot country it reflects the sun better.

That was the reason why I asked for the copper highlights on the wheels as I thought out of keeping with the rest of the car, bearing in mind there is no silver on the car anywhere else. Sort of a conflict of colours! I had to pay extra for the copper alloys though but right decision. .

(PS Had the car been in red, I would of made the same decision, copper trim alloys but that is just my personal preference)
