Look at me...thinking about spending more time and money... :evilgrin:
P.S. I don't want the calipers to be blue...can you get them in red (or will I have to paint them)?

If you get the Leon Cupra R braked they are identical to R32 ones but have Red calipers :happy2:

They really are very easy to fit, the fronts are a virtually direct replacement, all you need are the Splash guards, discs, calipers, pads, carriers, and brake lines.
The rears are even easier, Discs, carriers, are all you will need, the splash guards can be reused (with some slight tweaks) and the pads and lines are the same.

Can't find anything as yet. But it really is so easy

I have the leon cupra fronts on mine. Plenty of stopping power, you could even put ferodo ds2500 pads front and rear with that setup and you would still have around £250 change from £1k :happy2:
The brakes fill the alloys nicely too
