The GTD is like a blow up doll. The GTI is like a proper woman. Sure the doll might last longer, and the woman might have higher running costs, but which would you rather have?

Halfrauds red caliper paint - http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_productId_175090_langId_-1_categoryId_165495

Hammerite smooth silver - http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_productId_158822_langId_-1_categoryId_165495

I've heard a few rumours of a shortage on hammerite at the moment, halfrauds didnt have much, and local B and Q only had 2 tins of smooth silver left, nothing else!!  :shocked:

No, wheels off one at a time, just use the jack in the boot.

Didnt go to the extent of taking the calipers off though, just careful ish painting them.

Talking about brakes

What is the rough price for Pads on the Back and Front?

VW wanted crazy money - even with discount (yeh right!!)
