Name those calipers...
« on: 08 July 2013, 19:05 »
I've just been sent these calipers from a guy claiming they were from the rear of a mk4 Golf -  they quite clearly aren't!
Before I open up a can of whoop ass I was wondering what they were actually from?

I think the 1.4/1.6 might have smaller calipers just didn't thnk that small, unless its a rear caliper off a 1.4/1.6?
