MK 8 Golf GTI Clubsport 45 disc size
« on: 12 May 2025, 11:59 »
Hi,

Please can someone give me the disc sizes for my 2022 Clubsport 45, I believe the front are bigger than standard but Google brings up mixed results?

Fronts are 357mm I believe, have you tried putting your reg into euro car parts and checking the fitment detail tab?

Yep, 357mm, and two piece discs too so won’t be cheap.

The car has done 21,000 it is more a matter of corrosion, the bodyshop asked me if I had thought of just putting new discs on rather than painting them,  not realising how much they cost  :smiley:

Is it the centre bells that are discoloured? Do you have any photos of them?
The rough finish in the dimples does collect brake dust, they should be fairly easy to DIY paint though if they’re beyond cleaning.

Yes going down the route of getting them painted, and yes it is the centres, I have found in the past if the discs are coated this doesn't usually happen but obviously not the case this time.
Easy DIY for some maybe, impossible for me to remove the wheels so I have to pay the price!!

Ok, easy DIY as in don’t overpay for the work!
I’m no expert on anything but I’m getting old so been around for a bit. Having owned a mk8 Clubsport for bang on 3 years and now an 8R for almost a year and a half, both cars using the same front brakes, the one thing I’m fairly sure of is I don’t think a coating would make a huge difference to keeping the front bells clean. I’m not into hardcore detailing but do like to keep my cars clean with very regular washing and I’ve noted on both cars that the dimples on the front bells do collect brake dust to a degree no matter how often the car is cleaned within reason. Both my cars above were owned from new and I’ve tried hard to keep the brake bells free of grime but not entirely succeeded. The dimples have a fairly rough finish from the factory so brake dust sits there and is hard to remove, I’ve tried all sorts of different brushes and mild cleaners but there’s always a trace left. Funnily enough I find a fingertip and fingernail one of the most effective ways of getting the dimples clean(er) rather than just brushes.
The best remedy will be a smooth paint finish and regularly washing them with shampoo.

Who knows, I might be wrong.
Maybe have a look on the dedicated R forum VWROC.com as there are many more R’s than Clubsports on the roads and some of these owners will be keen detailers who might have ways of deep cleaning the front bells and maintaining the pristine look. Although an R owner I don’t visit that forum, I just like it here but there’ll definitely be more forum traffic over there with keen R owners that share the same brakes as you…


Good luck and maybe post up some before and after pics.
