Title: Golf GTI Mk5 Red Rear Caliper and Carrier Refurb or Replace?
Post by: Husy on September 24, 2025, 11:04:12 am

Hey folks, looking to get my rear caliper and carriers refurbished in red (NSR sticking). Anyone got recommendations for a reliable specialist or is it cheaper to replace them?

I'd replace with a refurbed item from a well known supplier, quicker and easier.

TRW BHN951/2 are the best replacement calipers  I paid £140 pr a while ago They have lasted twice as long as the oem trash
 Not sure of the carrier price Both calipers and carriers are painted red :drool: :drool:

Try looking at Autodoc. I bought new red TRW calipers & carriers last year for a good price.

Hey everyone, thanks for the input. I picked up a TRW in red from Autodoc. They had both new and refurbished, but since it was only £20 more, I went for new. Came to £92 incl. VAT. The TRW part code if anyone needs it BHN951 (NSR).
