I've just brought a cupra r and the first thing i asked was how much are a new set of pads and disk's as i think there probley gonna be the most expensive thing to get done and they said £450 for the fronts and £115 for the backs! thats a quote from seat but i'm sure you can find them else where cheaper!

As for that i didn't really ask about much else becuase it's just general servicing and as i have a company vehicle my cupra R is a gonna be a weekend car so for me running costs should be very low, i also service the car myself to save the garage costs!

Kinda exacly the same as what illbe doing. Having said that £450 sucks. Do it ur self with EBC Redstuff and ur looking alot cheaper. Even with Up Rated Discs!!

LCR is veneted front and rear!
