Also have a look an Autodoc as well.
I'd get painted already as it's a right faff doing it yourself!!
Can't remember their name now but if you search for the brake thread on here you will get more info.

Thanks for the reply mate.

I have seen a couple of painted ones but I could only find them from german sellers and now with the 25% import/vat nonsense id be paying an extra £100 or so.

I also had a look on autodoc an unfortunately they only sell refurbed calipers, in total it comes to £400 for caliper + carrier. Whereas for the new/unpainted ones its around £320 if you minus the pads/discs from the link I posted. So for £80 less I'm getting new/unpainted instead of refurbed/painted which seems like a better deal to me.

If you dont mind me asking, why do you say its a faff to paint them? I just assumed you cover all the moving parts then put 2 layers of the foliatec stuff pudding mentioned.

GreigC:
I also have MK7 Golf R calipers, disks and pads on my MK5 GTI.

I have a set of unpainted R32 front carriers if that helps (managed to get a set of painted ones afterwards). Not sure if they are different to the MK7 ones. Let me know.
