I know this topic has been covered before but just wanted people opinion's now. I would like to have them on my 04 LC!!

1. How many peoples LC or LCR have folding mirrors?

2. Was it just an optional extra?

3. Do all the LC and LCR's have the same mirrors (not shape) and the loding can be programmed in or do you have to buy the folding ones?

Cheers all

I believe it's something like this...

All LCR's have folding mirrors. The 210 LCR's have the 'square' type mirrors and the 225 LCR's have the 'teardrop' mirrors.

Not sure about the LC's as a friend's LC had folding mirrors but my dad's LC doesn't... both facelift, not sure if there was a changeover year.

All Leon's up til MY03 had the 'square' Golf mirrors

MY03 onwards have the teardrop design identical to the mk4 Ibizas

Not too sure on the provision of Electrics mirrors

the bit about 210 lcr's having square mirrors is incorrect. Later 210 models came with the tear drop mirrors (i have one ).

I also owned an 02 plate pre facelift cupra and that had foldy elec mirrors.

It all seems luck of the draw. :D

Must be a ticky box option at the dealer then. No matter what trim level you have

It's down to the Model Year (MY) not the engine power.

The Older MY's had the Golf mirrors, the MY03's onwards the Ibiza ones.

If like me you have an early 03 plate, it's actually a MY02 so it has the square mirrors - you tend to see a mix on the 03 plate cars.
 
My LC (04 reg) has teardrop foldy heated mirrors.....

wasn't an option I paid for, when car arrived new from the factory the dealer was suprised that it had foldy ones, as he didn't think they came with them....odd!!

I had a 2000 X reg 20v SE and that had electric folding mirrors, and my 02 LCR has electric folding mirrors so i thought all Leons except bottom of range had electric mirrors.

My MY03 210 LCR has teardrop shaped foldy (or used to fold) non heated mirrors
I bought the car from new and this was a standard fit, not an option
