The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

I had the first set done at Wheel Works Crawley ,The set I am removing im thinking off sending to lepsons ,They are a logistical nightmare and as I am more than happy with CCW they may just go there.

Hi Mate , had a few issues with the rears but they are really something else Davebs work was worth the wait .Fronts and backs now on and some new R pad clips fitted today as well ,Did you see the 730b BT kit for sale ,I was under the assumption i needed the 729b to work with Red highline .

WWC are 45mins from me and yes I am happy with the wheels colour is spot on and the quality off the work is fine,The wheels i had done were only lightly scuffed ,What have you done with your Brakes ? did you buy a set from SERE ?

I was in bmautosport a couple off weeks ago and Mark uses Lepsons and here work is off the highest std  ,I am tempted to let them do this set just as a trial .

Just buy the calipers nothing else from Sere cheap enough flog yours and recover most off the money
