Title: GTTDI 140 4MO
Post by: Matt-Finishes on April 16, 2017, 10:06:38 pm

Hi guys, not really new here but forgot my old user and password.  :signLOL:

some of you may know my dad, Stevw1. with his mk5.

(https://scontent-lhr3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/376818_10150939886253315_593354489_n.jpg?oh=96fda775d2febccf2ef37c916f6a7e15&oe=59808AAA)

Anyhow. A friend of mine just got a 55 plate GTTDI 140 in united grey but its a 4mo.

As always within the couple of hour mark were looking at what to do with it.

So my question is. How easy / hard is it to do a swap on the brakes GTI / R32 set up.

What size brakes does he have now / compared to GTI / R32.

Thanks for any help.

Matt

You can just bend the build shields out of the way or buy r32 ones like I did...click on the lick in my post to see what I did to mine
