Jim. Those brakes / wheels with the VW centre badge look great. Really really great. Was it a straight forward instal?

It's MjrSharpe's car but Jim kindly embedded it to make it a better size.

The brakes would be a straight forward install as is with any brake caliper replacement tbf. Do like the alloys. look like the BBS SR too. I've just picked up a set of18" BBS SR's so will see how they fit over the Brembo's I'm running.

They look great.

Thought I'd try and share so we don't need to zoom in!

Thanks for that, much better size  :smiley: Brakes were straight forward as mentioned, everything was supplied and as said they are a fair bit cheaper than the revo equivalent etc.
The wheels are novus 0.01 which I got from Rimstyle. It was between these and the BBS SRs as I really like both of them. They have an et45 as opposed to et49 of the stock wheels, so I didn't need spacers to fit the bigger brakes.

If it helps, I'm planning on making a number of modifications to my CSS come spring and part of the modifications are adding braided steel brake hoses (Manthey Racing) and have been mulling over AP Racing or Racing Line 380mm discs.

I have a set of Oz Racing Leggera HLT wheels which I'm putting on and fitment will look something like this (my car is white though):

The six pot brakes look fantastic :) Like the floating discs too. I assume those are 19 inch wheels? I can't make it out on the tyre.

Believe those are 19’s in the pic.

I’m running OZ ultraleggera hlt’s at the mo but considering selling them and going to 18’s for daily use.

Here’s mine:
