Seat Mii Vibora Negra, the Black Viper Edition

In Seat by Jonathan Humphrey

After only one month of the SEAT Mii city car being available in the UK, SEAT have now introduced the super Vibora Negra edition.

The SEAT Mii Vibora Negra – The Ultimate Mii, strange name the Spanish translation means black viper – this is the Ultimate Mii. Showcasing an entire range of personalisation accessories, marking the beginning of a host of planned customisation packs.

The Mii packs plenty of visual punch as it is, but this new range of visual accessories takes it to a new level; the Vibora Negra pack transforms the Mii into one of the most striking, visually aggressive and sportiest city cars currently on sale, endowing it with the spirit of SEAT’s most powerful FR and Cupra models.

The complete Vibora Negra pack is compatible with any Mii, from entry level S to range-topping Sport, and comprises:

  • Black Vibora Negra twin stripes (bonnet, roof and tailgate)
  • Black Vibora Negra side stripes
  • Black 14- or 15-inch alloy wheels
  • Black tailgate spoiler
  • Black side skirts
  • Black mirror caps
  • Black gloss gear knob
  • Black chequered dashboard decal

Each of the above items can be ordered individually*, although a 10% discount applies when the pack is ordered complete, saving around £160.

The total cost of the Vibora Negra pack, including VAT and fitting, is £1,628 with 14-inch wheels equipped, or £1,740 with 15-inch wheels. It can only be bought from franchised SEAT dealerships.

Malcolm Allison, Aftersales Product Manager for SEAT UK, said:  “The Vibora Negra pack brings out all the sporty characteristics of the Mii, and showcases the exciting customisation possibilities for the car in future.

“We created it to give buyers in the UK a break from the norm, and the chance to give their Mii a personal touch; the great thing about the Vibora Negra range is that each of the parts can be bought separately, so there’s something for every budget.

“We started with the viper stripes because they’re such a classic way to personalise a car, and we stuck with a black theme to evoke the stunning Ibiza Bocanegra.

“We’ve aimed the pack at younger buyers looking for ways to make their Mii more striking without breaking the bank. This is just the beginning, though – there are plenty more Mii personalisation packages in the pipeline, so there’ll be huge scope for individualism, and something to suit everyone.”

With the Mii having just gone on sale in the UK (18th June 2012), the quick availability of the Vibora Negra pack is a clear indication of SEAT’s desire to make it the most desirable and distinctly sporty city car on the market.

The Vibora Negra pack, which is only available to UK buyers, comes hot on the heels of the dramatic Mii FR concept, shown at the 2012 Worthersee festival in Austria; the upgrades give buyers the tantalising opportunity to own a car with a marked visual similarity to that concept.

The SEAT Mii range begins at £7,845 RRP OTR for an entry-level S model, meaning a Vibora Negra can be bought for under £9,500.
