mikkijayne 0 Posted March 19, 2010 Well the 4-bolt Ibiza is loosely based on the mk2/3 platform so they might fit, but I don't know for sure. The 5-bolt one is probably different. The Cupra R generally came with Brembos, whereas the plain Cupra didn't. What year is it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
