Ah I know what you mean, my standard brakes seem to stop fairly sharp(ish) I feel though!

no you'd need new discs, they are 308mm, but the stopping powa is awesome...and they look badass!

they come standard on the ibiza cupra R so its an oem mod if that makes you feel better

DO IT DO DO IT DO IT

Your brakes did seem pretty good mate when we went out for a little spin! If your not gonna be modifing the engine anymore then i'd say the standards will cope well enough!!! Plus, with the standard alloys on too, there aint a lot opening through the alloys to even see the brakes, so not much point getting them either just cause they look nice!!!

Spend the money on colour coding Chris, and maybe sorting the interior grab handles!

yeah hes got a good point actually, pretty sure the brakes dont fit under the standard cupra alloys, thats why they had the R's had Oz legra's

color coding is a better move..and the boost gauge hehe

They do look pretty awsome to be honest, Might have to be considered for the future! Your beezas a proper teaser to start modifying mine....damn all your pics haha!

Yeah mat, they seem alright, probs because the guy who had it before me has just put two new discs on! So plenty of life in them

The bumper strips definantly need colour coding...would be pretty cool if they were totally removed and smoothed I thought! Bigish job though I'd imageine.

cheers

yeah thats definately a good idea, ive seen a silver one smoothed and its a real good look, the only thing (probably not an issue at all) is you will have to leave the bumper un-attached under the strips as there are screws underneath it for support.

a cheap mod is the leon cupra front splitter, you can pick them up for like 20 quid, but it depends if you think it looks good, im in two minds over it

Yeh i'd agree too, brake upgrades should come after engine upgrades,

I'll give that colour coding a crack on photoshop now!

Ah yeah I'm in two minds myself about the LCR Splitter!

No offence to you ofcourse, but can look abit of a bodge job on some cars i've seen them on! Although, if done properly, like yours looks, then it can finish the front bumper off nicely
