I have recently owned a 54 Plate LCR, Had done 70k, Paid £5000 for it, Had it stage one mapped, Forge Silicone Boost hoses & Neuspeed induction kit.
The performance was awesome, Approx 275 BHP, Handling was alot better than the Golf & fely more Planted.
There are quite a few differences throughout the range from the 1.8t AUQ engine to the 210 AMK & Finally the 225 BAM Engine.
The 225 had teardrop wing mirrors (210 ones are same as a mk4 Golf,)
The 225 Had the better steering wheel with Red centralising point at the top of the wheel.
The 225 a Single slot CD Player but the 210 had a cassete player with 6 disc changer in Glovebox
