To answer my own question at the top of page 2, paid £640 last week for both front and rear discs and pads at the local franchised VW dealer (Inchcape).

Tried booking via the website first and they wanted approx £1k. So rang them up and asked for a quote over the phone and was told £640.

I'm not saying there won't be cheaper garages out there, but this was the best I could do for genuine VW parts.

Always worth calling round different dealers and asking for diclscount once you get a price from one they will usually all match it

I tried to buy those in Leeds but one wheel needs a decent repair/ weld.  I made an offer outside eBay for £625 and no joy.

Just managed to get a set for £625 with tyres that are currently going from grey to black and will be on next week hopefully.

I saw these on eBay located in Leeds, if anyone is close to Leeds.

Cars and parts for sale / 4 x 17" Dijon wheels with Michelin Crossclimate+ tyres 225/45
« Last post by bogwoppit on Today at 11:56 »
4 x 17" VW Dijon Alloy wheels with Michelin CrossClimate+ 225/45R17 94 W Extra load tyres.
Includes the VW centre caps as well.
The wheel details are (17" x 7J, ET49, 5x112 PCD)

Now the Golf GTI has gone, we no longer have any use for these.

These wheels are one of the few OEM 17" wheels that clear the Golf Mk7/7.5 GTI Performance pack front brakes.







And what they look like fitted:





Wheel 1 - This wheel is actually a brand new wheel, it was replaced in March this year, and it was then removed for the summer wheels two weeks later. I have lightly sanded the mating face of this wheel where it meets the hub.





















Wheel 2:

























Wheel3:


















Wheel 4:



















Wheels 2, 3 and 4 are all well used wheels, so they are not perfect, small scrapes and scuffs on all of them, that I have photographed above. None of the wheels are cracked and the tyres/wheels all hold air fine.
If you click on the photos, they should open in a new tab and full size.

Tread depths for the tyres are:

Note, these Crossclimate tyres came with 7.2mm when they were brand new.

Wheel 1:
outside 5.1mm, centre 4.8mm, inside 5.2mm
Wheel 2:
outside 5.6mm, centre 5.4mm, inside 5.4mm
Wheel 3
outside 4.9mm, centre 5.2mm, inside 5.0mm
Wheel 4
outside 5.5mm, centre 5.4mm, inside 5.4mm

I'm looking for £450 for the set, and I'm just outside Lincoln, LN3 post code.

Thanks

Thank you SRGTD!  :smiley:

Got around to doing mine today, could not get a tie around the middle section so just did a tie at each end.

Golf mk7 / Re: Full Respray Cost
« Last post by JP2021 on 01 December 2023, 18:11 »
Would the correct word be 'patina' when it comes to the look of the paintwork on a car that's ageing? I guess if the overall condition of the paintwork is uniform it can look good ie. in keeping with the overall look of the car. The problem arises if certain panels look worse that others, a classic example being a battered bonnet due to stone chips on the M25 :cry: Don't get me wrong, this is very much a niche conversation as a car is bound to get marked, scratched, fades etc if being used and not a show piece left in a garage. However, I'm sure there are a lot of people out there who like their car looking as lovely as possible and when seeing a faded/scratch/stone chipped panel wonder what they can do about it :cry:
