So the fronts are red and the backs are black?  :rolleye:

Waiting for the review!  :party:

....Sometimes the design theory/logic doesn't work.

I'll take and post a side-on pic in due course (in that review thread I might one day get around to writing). Don't forget that my OZ LeggyRita's are a major aesthetic component and also that my AP red calipers look nothing like an oem caliper. The design logic says it shouldn't work but I honestly think it does on my particular car.

^^^^
Respecting and accepting that 'splash guards', or are they 'stone guards', are fitted for a reason, I'm curious what that reason is.

Splash, Sh!t, stone guards, all stuff to be kept away from the brakes IMO.  VW spent enough time designing it, and ensuring fit for purpose and safe operation.

To refit a set, you will need to cut a part of the shield out, to feed it over the hub.  See the below illustration.

Ps you will have to remove the disc and caliper, not sure about the carrier............

....That's a bummer! I suppose this can be done without undoing the brake lines and having to bleed the brakes?

I assume a S3 or R32 sh!t guard can't be fitted to the GTI.
