If your painting the calipers, consider doing the disc hub silver or black, makes a huge difference.

Is that the dust cover just behide the disc your talking about bud?

Looks like u got a great base there fella

Got all the right extra's from the off.

If u go CH's go 19s they fill the archs so much better

Yeah was nice to get a base with so many, only wanted xenons and leather really.  :smiley:

Fancy the 18"s myself can get the car a wee bit lower and i think 19s are myb a wee bit big for Mk5s but again that my opinon, and there are alot which pull 19's off really well.

So today I had a spare couple hours so I decided to paint the brakes Red again as they where previously black.  :confused:

-Wirebrushed and washed.
-Sanded down using 400
-Blow off
-Painted Red using hammerite and clips where painted silver.

I intend to upgrade the brakes at some stage but this will tidy the OEM ones up for now.
Pictures. :D
Enjoy  :happy2:









Thanks for looking.  :drinking:

Re: Relax Silver GTi *KW v2 & BBS CH Fitted*
« Reply #28 on: August 24, 2013, 07:54:51 pm »
Fitted the rear Kw's today along with the 18" bbs chs,  :happy2:

Had to make a stop on fitting the front coil-overs as my bolts on my topmount started turning the nut (Badly rusted) and even with a pair of vice grips we still couldn't get them turned, so ive sourced some new bolts and the KW's already have top mounts fitted so I intend to cut the old bolts off and drop the strut out just  :smiley:

Hopefully should have piictures up tomorrow evening after a wee wash :)
