Fitted black mirror caps

They look good :cool:. Funny how trends change over the years - I can remember when the use of black mirror caps were restricted to lower trim level models by some car manufacturers. They look good on the GTI though.

Will you be getting the mounting holes from the original number plate holder on the front bumper filled and painted? With my car OCD, if it was my car they’d be giving me sleepless nights! :grin:

I'd planned to get them done and will do something about them eventually, but it's one of those things that you forget about. Very annoying though, couldn't believe the size of them when I removed the holder. And 6? Talk about overkill!

VBT, just what I`ve been looking at, although I want fronts too.

What pads are you going for?

I`m torn, too many pad choices.

I have an order in for racing line pads, but they are on backorder everywhere. Thinking of going for EBC Redstuff instead. The rears are on sale at Demon Tweeks for 22% off, bringing them under 50 quid.

I will need fronts soon as well I should imagine, but my rears are in desparate need. I will go for the same VBT discs on the front once I need them

By the way, these are the "black". At least, that's what I ordered. They look pretty silver to me

Be interesting to know the weight difference between them and the factory rear discs.

If I remember, I'll compare them when I do the swap

I'm guessing that the black refers to the painted hubs?
