Post by: QD MBE on August 30, 2009, 09:29:27 pm: Did anyone buy these off the bay? Seems like a very very good deal to me, I was watching them, however spent my cash elsewhere..........

And funny enough they have been on there for ages with no bids and i was going to take a punt with a cheeky bid of Â£1200. i wish i had now. :booty:

Post by: ukdub on August 30, 2009, 09:41:13 pm: I put the first bid in of Â£1250. Forgot all about it until I got the "you havn't won email" Can't believe I lost out by Â£20.

....He suggested he would be open to other GB's when I visited him :happy2:

Those 6-pots are a bit overkill for the Mk5 GTI unless you track a heck of a lot or race (according to AP themselves) and renewing the pads will cost ya dear! 4-pot will do very nicely.

I have to agree RR. But for Â£1250 I couldn't resist. Pity they went for Â£1270.
