Black would be a great choice of colour for your car Matt :happy2: They should cut your stopping distance down!
Yes with winter only round the corner, it will be spring time before mine go on, dont fancy letting the salt eat away at freshly refurbed brakes :booty:
They are of a TTRS, 4 pots with a 370mm disc, but i think DaveB has a 362mm 2 piece disc setup, so when the time comes & the disc's i have get worn down... It will be a good excuse to change :evilgrin: with new pads then, which are not too cheap.
Also give me time to source 2 piece rears :laugh:

Cheers Pete, brakes would have to be one of the best mods any driver could have, we can never have to much stopping power :happy2:
Yes the badge took a bit of triming on the back clips to get it to fit, as it wasnt a perfect match to the rear mechanism,
all sorted in the end :wink:
Now with a spare mechanism & badge... Time to have a play :party:

Well another update :happy2:
I got myself an RNS510, but needed a new up to date canbus. So got one delivered on Friday.
Made a start to change the canbus over, what a job, :fighting: hands are cut to shreds & felt like giving up a few times, as i didnt seem to be getting anywhere. The canbus was up above the clutch pedal, in a real tight spot but with the car in bits and the help from the guys on this great forum...
Monte, Eddie-nl, mortygttdi, Jonny, Ianv5, BlackGTI, damoegan, bacillus all helped out big time... THANKS GUYS!
The canbus also needed coding & this messed me about, but again Ed helped me there, pm'd untill we got it all cleared :happy2:
As in the web page attached:- http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,57060.msg641152.html#msg641152
Canbus getting installed, lots of bits taken of the car
It was to late last night to install the RNS, so left it to do this morning, that was alot easier than the canbus....
Took about 1hr20mins, just took my time to make sure nothing got broken :wink:
I followed this guide:- http://www.vwgolf.net.au/showthread.php?704-DIY-RNS510-Install
Everything works the very best, just need to code it in with vcds. Will do that tomorrow...
Such a nice finish with the new radio in... Photos dont do it any justice, as i took them in the dark, will upload some tomorrow...
As i got to be the 1st, being a demo :wink: My new GTI Number arrived, it got fitted today:-

Car looks great Neil. Some really tidy looking mods. New brakes look superb. You're old 32's look good on my motor as well.

How do you get the build plaque for the gti, or even the number?
