Yeah if you get the full set of hoses,  The fronts fix into the caliper and the rears into the small brake pipe on the caliper. iirc 

[bigmig95]

For the fronts some of the guys on here use these HEL lines, available from DaveB here on the forum, they have an angled banjo for better brake line entry on the caliper.

Didn't think I'd need the rears so didn't order them

Left Hand Shield 1K0615311C

Right Hand Shield 1K0615312C

You can just re use your existing rear hoses, but i think it is better to replace everything.

Are you meaning the rear caliper? Or the rear hoses on the front caliper?

Having thick moment, use the existing rear hose that are on the rear of the front caliper if that makes seance ? Never done brakes before man
