Title: R32 brake lines
Post by: liver on September 01, 2010, 11:30:52 pm: im just wanting to know after realising that i didnt have the r32 brake lines when i went to fit my r32 front brakes how much they are brand new from vw if any one knows and possible part numbers

or

weather it would be worth getting goodrigde r32 braided house front and rear for £55 and selling the rears on

im not sure but need to make my mind up as could do with them for friday so have to decide and order 2mora, just wondering if there is much difference between the two in price first

cheers for any info
