What did you and your MKV do today?

[ROH ECHT]

Fitted the red calipers on the front and rear.



Anyone know if there would be a market for the old 312mm that came off, unpainted. Would replace seals and clean them up.

You can try the "For Sale" forum sections and e-bay. I've put all of my stuff that I swapped out on three different forums and craigslist, and sold nothing, and I have lots of oem stuff lying around now.

Scott - am I right thinking you are in Banchory? Might need to come and see this in action at some point! Sounds like Eddie/Golfman will also be getting some business....! 

yes im in banchory, you are welcome to come up at some point to see in action, obviously I haven't got the whole system fine tuned yet as I need to familiarise myself with the operation but its all working 100%,,, gotta love the camera dude

They'd definitely sell, although it depends what kind of figure you have in mind as to whether it's worth it?

Mk5 based cars with the 55mm strut & 288mm setup only need the carriers from the 312mm setup and new discs (as a minimum) for a cheap upgrade. Calipers and pads are the same so no brake bleeding required, but I doubt you'd want to sell them seperately.

On my last car which was a 2.0 tdi 140, I got red GTI calipers & carriers off a forum member for £40 and that's a reasonable price for a buyer I reckon. I wouldn't have minded colourless ones personally as it'd have matched the rears

And is why the golf is such a great all rounder

Had a shakey front beam, that likely developed after removing the eyelids, so I added a bit of dense foam to the gap between the rear of the lamps and the core support trim. This did the trick.

Its surprising what you can get in a Golf... 2.4m fence post for example (just carful of your sat nav screen)

Fitted the R32 rear bumper & some LED rear lights on Sunday, they look great

But have a slight issue now. While removing the licence plate light/parking sensor connector (the main connector on the rear drivers side) I snapped the clip. So when putting it back in I used duct tape to hold it together and it looked fine. But after finishing I turned the ignition on and it came up with the light out warning and the licence plate light/rear parking sensors don't work, just get a long beep then nothing.

Reaching under the car I can feel the connector is still connected but I assume its not tight enough.

So is it an easy fix or not?

Will take a look tomorrow morning as am off. Maybe try and pull it tighter together with some cable ties for now?

Fitted a Jetta GLI front with full chrome pack... Had the rear end sprayed to loose the scuff marks...

2.4m fence post, now THAT'S intriguing

Spent the afternoon applying the G1 ClearVision Smart Glass rain repellant and WOW it's ability to do what it says is incredible. Takes a bit of effort but well worth it, bring on the rain and ice!!

If I was any good at posting video I would post one but I'm not so take my word for it!
