Thanks to Brake God DaveB :)
« on: March 10, 2011, 12:20:47 pm »
big thanks to to brake god DaveB for a colour change to StevePs Porsche set up, can't thank him enough given he'd gone into brake retirement and MrsB is expecting twins, assistance in pad selection has also been appreciated.  :notworthy:

quality of the finish is incredible and i don't think pictures off my compact do them justice, so glad i went for black  :D

the freshly finished rears

They look the Biz Andy.  :party:

Nothing wrong with upgrading the brakes no matter what car anyone has, the GTI brakes are ok but uprating them makes perfect sense when 50 or 60 BHP is added.  :driver:

Andy knows im only joking, i see him enough in person to know im just messing.

Are there any rules though against a handbag and the countryside :signLOL: 

On a serious note, i know bigger brakes are a must, especially in the more rural area's.
When i visited uncle Knobhead a while ago to have my xenons fitted by the kind chap, i was in convoy behind redrobin, and on more then one occasion, robins sudden braking style  :wink:, nearly made me have several brown trouser moments, and my Eddy nearly writing off Robins rear end :scared: :scared:.

The last time I followed RR, he seemed to fail to indicate or do so very late several times.  :stupid:

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.
