You can get Porsche ones for a good price second hand.
There guides on here for fitting these too.

In all seriousness - it might be worth checking that it is actually an LCR....
Re you future brake upgrades... you might want to check up on your thinkings (but you do want better than 312mm up front)

i know ihave done the checks to make sure it was a real lcr im not silly the dvla told me so its all good, nd yes i knw im looking at 332 up front they will fit wont they ?
OE Brembo's are 328mm
But you will need to check the calliper clearance with your future new brakes

i see i see thank you very much i do look forward to getting new brakes as the standard one are pooo they wine so much under really heavy brakeing and i get lots of fade from them not good, still i love the car though best part i swapped it for a 1.6 proton haha
The OEM Brembo discs on the LCR are 323mm x 28mm
330mm x 28mm discs fit with a 3mm caliper spacer.
332mm discs will not fit without a spacer and TBH might not fit.

so presumably the DVLA also said it was an import?
What size are the alloys? as im sure the LCR alloys were 17" in europe if you didnt take the brembo option.
whats the engine code? eg AMK, BAM?
It is the right colour for an LCR

You might have issues with clearance with 17" wheels with the LCR Brembo's and the Porsche Brembo's
I have a EU LCR 210 fitted with recaros, but not brembo's as standrad(Fitted afterwards) and the 17" baby cupra's will fit over the Brembo GT1's
nono they did not say that to me as its not a import its uk spec and the alloys are the 18"s cant wait to get new brakes anyone think any other company as asposed to brembo ?
cant wait to get new brakes anyone think any other company as asposed to brembo ?Brembos where standard equipment on all UK LCRs,including the earlier 210 bhp model.Recaros where an option
