Cheers guys, really happy with the finish too, everything is finished in the satin black, Gearbox etc all matches up. even the Intercooler and all intercooler charge pipes are satin

question;
what did you have to swap on the rear to put discs on? is the conversion any different  to a hatchback?

Thanks for positive feedback on the conversion  :smiley:

Lazy, bring it to Leeds when we have the new unit  :wink:

Regards to rear breaks, we left the estates axle on the car but used the rear hubs, and handbrake cables from a mk3 16v

It also uses the mk3 16v rear discs, but we updated to calipers to the better mk4 items

It also has braided hoses all round

The rear axle is different to the hatch version.

Hey Brad, what's the deal with the mk4 caliper swap? Is everything a direct fit? I want to refurb and paint my calipers before to long, so I might as well do the mk4 upgrade instead of spending time on my original calipers :)
