Mr GTD, out of interest, where are you going to put the caliper stickers ?

I ask as the standard Calipers don't have the smooth cover plate that the PP GTI has, and instead has a big scallop cut out of the units right back to the brake pad ? Can't see where they would fit ?

[/url

Oh if only I had that pic earlier..

Oh Well, when there here (and the car is :grin:) I will test fit them before committing but I think I can safely say they mostly won't be fitted.

£6.50 down the drain...but at least it's not £650 I suppose. :rolleyes:

If your getting your calliper stickers off Adam you do get 3 different sizes and the decals do fit the non PP callipers I know caus I have them on mine lol   :whistle:

how to take screenshots

If you zoom in on my front wheel you can make the decals out  :whistle: :whistle:

Received these today. Really wasn't expecting them to arrive so quick. :smiley:

Like you said Neil they have arrived in three different sizes and from the look of them the smallest looks like it will fit the Caliper...?(that's just a guess until I see it in the flesh though)

Adam sent instructions but do you have any tips/suggestions for fitment, Neil..?

No real tips apart from make sure the callipers are cleaned with no grease or dust to get a good contact with them.
I found cutting them down to just the letter size made it easier to position. Hope that helps  :whistle:

Also if you have one of those torches that is used in the kitchen then heat the callipers first, not mad hot but hot to touch.

Looks like I will be doing bits to the car in the rain. :sad:

Took mine in to get rumbling/droning/humming noise sorted. Turns out front offside wheel bearing was buggered. Haven't tested it properly yet but all sounds good initially.

Glad it's sorted. However on a brand new car that's pretty poor.
Any explanation how it occurred? Faulty from the factory I take it?
