Small update..

Met up with samx300 (thanks again for the deal, love your car mate) and bought the GTI brake set off him minus front discs and pads as those are only 10% worn on my car, so basically to change to the red calipers and also means the rears will be a size upgrade to the GTI's 286mm.

Also bought in some caliper paint to touch them up.

Next is the 18" Charleston's have gone off to Lepsons for refurb thought ideal opportunity as running steelies with winter tyres on, those are just about to come off so it's worked out quite nice really, will update with photos when the wheels are back next week.
