Because there’s nothing on the car that can confirm if its Real or Not and the Log Book etc are useless, ive spoke to one of my contacts at SEAT UK about this Real/Not Real K1 Debate and here’s the solution, 2 Ways to tell if your K1 is real or if its not. By Real we mean The car was Built by SEAT UK as K1 Spec and Hasnt been built by the Dealer into K1 Spec or even by an Owner into K1 Spec

1. Use the form Below, Contact SEAT UK, Provide them the cars ORIGINAL registration plate number, If you have since fitted a private plate you will need to locate the original plate number. They will be able to tell you either yes its one of ours or no its a dealer/owner built K1

2. Contact SEAT UK on Twitter @seat_cars_uk Tweet them your ORIGINAL REG in a message, Something along the lines of ” @seat_cars_uk AB01ABC is this a SEAT UK bult K1?”

This is for anybody who is bothered about if there’s is an Original K1

one of these

Basically SEAT UK decided to fit a Body Kit, Centre Exit exhaust and a few badges to a normal Cupra and call it a K1

since then alot of people have created there own K1’s by adding the kits to Cupra’s or even adding the Kit’s to Diesels etc

Hi peeps, just wondering on what peoples opinions are of people adding the kits to the car? such as diesels?

Like dont get me wrong every one would love to drive around in nice cars but financially it may not be justified.

What difference does it make if the kit was factory fitted or retrospectively fitted by dealers? :confused:

If it was sold from factory as a K1 it will have a badly fitted body kit, basically aload of Cupras where brought to UK and had the kit fitted by SEAT UK unfortunately the kits were fitted badly
