What alloys come as standard on a 04 plate cupra r?

 

[JamJay]

These ones:

All U.K Cupra R's had these fitted as standard, even pre face-lifts. However, they were an optional extra in the rest of Europe I believe.

 

[scarface]

quality and do they all come with red calipers on bremo brakes?

 

[Stubbo]

Yes all the cupra r come with red bremo's

 

[Ruddmeister]

Yes all the cupra r come with red bremo's

Unless it's an import, Brembo's were an option in Europe with 17inch alloys of the same design

What alloys come as standard on a 04 plate cupra r?

Only one design was ever standard and 18inch only in the UK, some Euro models had same design but 17 inch as above

What insurance group at the LCR? 210 and 225 the same group?

What insurance group at the LCR? 210 and 225 the same group?

210 = group 16
225 = group 17

* see note

 

[Lodgey180]

210 = group 16
225 = group 17

so your actually paying more insurance for exactlly the same car if you get a 225..
glad i have a 210 at this point lol

 

[mjt]

a higher group doesn't necessarily mean higher premiums..

 

[Lodgey180]

:S what are you on if they are the same they should be in the same group ?!

that is the whole point in having groups

 

[DPJ]

210 = group 16
225 = group 17

Thatcham Database lists them both as Group 17.

LC180 is 16.

 

[Lodgey180]

210 = group 16
225 = group 17

so we class this as garbage ??

 

[kegger]

Yeah its rubbish... i've got a 210 and its group 17

 

[ace163]

so your actually paying more insurance for exactlly the same car if you get a 225..

No because its not exactly the same car, obviously a more powerfull car will be more insurance..even if it is only 12bhp its still more powerfull, also between group 16 and 17 it will be pennies difference!! i got that info of the 210=16 and the 225=17 from a LCR spec guide not my own knowledge ;-)

 

[Ljones]

sorry really confused. been trying to work out wat engine code my car is. a got a thing in my car that saids amk but the car is registered as a 225 model. i have read some of the points to tell the difference but i have got some of the 210bhp car and got some of the stuff off the 225. i am soooo confused

 

[Feel]

What "thing" says AMK on it? Where did you buy the car? What reg is it? What 225 "stuff" has it got on it? What colour is the car?
