GTI Caliper Decals
« on: 29 May 2023, 21:46 »
Just wondering if anyone has replaced decals on PP calipers? Mine are bit faded and would like to freshen up. Where can replacements be sourced as VW is full caliper replacement.

Here's a link to EZmods decals. I have used several of Eugene's products before, as have others on this forum, always top quality and quick service. I haven't used his caliper decals but I have used his sill covers and airbag delete sticker. First class.

Thanks for link an will shortly put in order. Has anyone experience of fitting new stickers? Has original sticker to be removed first or can new one be put directly over old 🤔. Should caliper be freshly painted first? Thanks.

The originals are painted on so no need to remove, just wipe down the plate with alcohol prior to fitting should be sufficient.

All EZmod decals come with fitting instructions so they will assist. There are videos on Youtube too.

Hi. Just ordered these, thank you for the link and code. I just want to know do you remove the factory decals first or just overlay them with the new ones.?

Just clean the caliper with brake cleaner & apply over the factory logos as they are an exact size replacement .

The OEM logos aren't decals as such so you cant remove them

Thanks for the reply. It came with instructions the same as you described. Problem is I can't get round to doing them. Going to rotate the Tyres at the same time but rain keeps stopping play.
