I wouldn't bother TBH and putting (cheap) plastic near items that get really hot isn't the greatest of ideas

They do look good but I wouldnt put them on my Golf just gonna get the proper ones. I would always be worried that somones gonna notice and then ill look like a cheap skate. I wouldnt wear snidey clothes so my baby aint wearing fake stuff either.  :laugh:

didn't they come with the instructions like the ad states?

but i agree with what else has been said - putting plastic near high temp brakes is not the best of ideas
