Just what bits is the Cupra R 225 made out of?

[mikeruss]

Hi All

I am the proud new owner of a 55 Cupra R in black. I am falling in love;-)

Anyway. I know (I think I do) the Cupra has the TT engine, A3 dash .... I keep on seeing different parts from different VW Group cars making up the car. Does someone have a list they could throw together? Purely out of interest and so I can mock TT and A3 owners for being ripped off

i was told on a tt forum that seat get the naff tolerenced engines that dont make the audi standard....

think i may have upset him a) because he realised how much bhp i had , but most importantly b) i mentioned his car was superior as you cant get a full bottle of hairspray in the leons glove box

there a good bunch.

think there both BAM engined... but every thing ive taken off the car has an audi/vw stamp on it and mines not an even an R.

personally im jealous of the tt`s traction.... but wouldnt the losses caused by it

LC leccy window controls are identical to my mates Golf Gti Anniversary (plus he doesn't have fold in mirrors )

All the bits in my spare wheel bay have Audi/VW badges stamped on them....

.....plus the rear red brake calipers...oil cap and dipstick is the same as my old polo's.....

.....about the only things that don't are the 'Seat' badges and the ashtray!

Calipers are Audi, lots of Skoda pipes under the bonnet, Dash from A3, and I think the chassis is from a golf ?

The sun visors are the same as a Mk4 Golf

The front calipers are only on the LCR and were built and designed by Brembo solely for the LCR then sold as the Gran Turismo package
Front end of the LCR is S3 and rear is MK 4 Golf. Most parts inside are shared throughtout the VAG range. Seat and steering wheel are solely LCR. Mirrors are same on S3.
Turbo same as S3, TT 225, KO4

The question is better phrased as "What parts are actually made solely for/by Seat" apart from body panels, glass, trim and badges...

a lot of the interior is golf r32, the seats in some are the same ive found different seats in the odd one dont know if they have been changed. the pedals are r32 too.

 

[Ruddmeister]

the pedals are r32 too.

Oh really? well you learn something new every day!

I've never seem R32 Konig seats in an LCR

The Recacro LCR seats are the same 'design' as the Golf Mk4 Recaro Leather option.......(they are not leather in the LCR but do have a delightfull 'R' Emblem)

yeah think the only diff is the foot rests, you get a plate on them in the r32.

just wonderiing about the sun visors. any golfs got lights on them when you open the mirror. Really like the idea of having these in my leon (love little mods that nobody would know unless they own a leon)

mine has the lights on the visors. well in the roof n when u open the slide it lights up, liek the idea of the glove box one and on the doors too.

Go raiding Toledos at the scrapyard. We've got lights on the visors (well roof), lights in the doors, lights in the glovebox....

Actually, I've got a glovebox light somewhere if you want it ??


SE and V5 certainly have all of the above .... not sure about the S - it didn't even get electric rear windows

 

[JamesL]

I've got lights in my doors and glovebox but not in my visors. Thats in an SE mind!

 

[sportbilly]

the 'S' badge

 

[ChrisUK]

I have lights in my visor. Slide the little door & they come on

My Leon jus came with TDI badges on it but I know it's only 90bhp so I just assumed it was an 'S' but I have full electric windows, lights in my visor mirrors when they are slid acrossed, light in glove box and light in doors (although the drivers door light seems to light up when it feels like it lol)

Maybe I'm just one of the lucky one's

The R32 Mk4 pedals are very different they have kinda swoosh shaped rubber bits, the mk4 Anniversary had similar pedals to the LCR though
