Little update to this,

My bro went to the local Seat dealer and confirmed it is a LCR, it's just a very early one and therefore doesn't have Brembos, apparently they only came on later ones....

Lies - all UK LCR's had brembo's without exception.

 

[wayne lcr]

they been sold the tight git lol

 

[Bobby.Gee]

they all had brembos mate, how many people have to say this before you believe it.

Sorry.

Where did you buy it from? Sorry if you already mentioned. This place is having a laugh with you. Don't stand for it

 

[andycupra]

if it was a UK LCR it would have had brembos, early ones or late ones.. it was standard on UK cars from the start.

However if it was imported/sourched abroad this may explain things.

Alternatively there was an accident or problem which meant the brakes were replaced and the price of brembos mean they went for the cheaper option.

nope i went to local seat dealer and gsve them my reg number the never came with brembos its down on there system as not having brembos the car was built in 2002 and was reg in 2004 the man there seemed to think this had something to do with it i dont know why all i know is that it never had them to start with and that is not a import one its uk spec.

Forgive my bluntness, but that's bullsh*t. My 2002 LCR has Brembos, as do all the rest of them. Why would the system say "no Brembos"?

haha yes i agree with this one seems like the best explation for this i think

Ultimately, if you were going to take them off and upgrade them anyway, what's the harm? Apart from the £600 you could've raised by selling them on afterwards

 

[Moshymosh]

thats it im really not that botherd i was ust intrested why they it didnt have them thats all.

just to add a bit more to this i have a cupra r 210 52 plate and it hasant got brembo's either its a full uk spec not a import deffo a genuine lcr got the recaro interior, just strange how mine hasant got them either

just to check we have still not seen any pics? yet post some up side shot of front and rear wheel

the rear brakes look like standard just the fronts your talking about that actually say brembo are you sure the writing has not just come off/faded

 

[RS6]
