Title: Mark 3 Brake Calipers
Post by: m3_gti on 09 February 2003, 20:58

Hi,
Does anyone know where I can get some decent red brake calipers for my beast?

Have you tried GSF? Usually good for most things VW-Audi.

You can just paint your existing ones or do you actually need new calipers?

The mk3 Anniversary had red calipers so they are probably still available from VW, for a painful fee  :P

Alright cheers guys.

With the caliper paint though does it matter if the calipers rusty or could I just paint over it?

Thanks again.

If they are rusty, the paint is not going to go on very well. They probably need a light sanding first. If you buy proper caliper paint from a car spares place I am sure there will be instructions on the side.

cheers,
