Title: Brake shields
Post by: Parney on 02 April 2014, 20:30

Just stripped calipers to paint and front shields are in a poor state. Are the brake disc shields stealer only. Tried ringing  a few car part companies no joy. Looked on TPS list but could not find them cheers for any help

I rang gave them gave reg number of golf let slip that I am a member of this site to which TPS sells a lot. Anything else you require can not fault. Only problem I will have is finding TPS google maps looks good. Been driving 30 years never even knew they exsited. Like the saying goes learn summit new each day.

Simple as that, goodo. Never paid enough attention to when having the wheels off previously. That is a job to do soon.

I've learnt the hard way too many times now  :grin:

A whole can of WD on each and every bolt before I even touch it with a socket!
