At £40 postage and looking at the condition I would give them a miss!  :surprised:

But for that price your looking at NQSBBK which Is why I went for them, they look nice,r same sort of braking but no way has heavy has the S3/R32 calipers.

Worth looking into both options IMO

The actual calipers cost me £200 few bits and bats to get them upto scratch so calipers in total to how they are now £250 plus the fitting kit ontop around £500 in total,

You could easily exceed that if your having to buy new discs and pads on the S3/R32 set, the good thing is you can buy discs for the gti cheap enough and pads for the porsche you can pick up for the same has the GTI/VRS.

Thanks for the that Darren, tbh I will still go for the R32/S3/Cupra set up, purely for the additional size, my current 312mm set up looks completely lost behind the BBS CH reps.  
I'm really hoping for the S3 as I think the calipers look better, gizzly79 had agreed to sell me his, but he might have to keep them now as the TT-RS set up may be fooked...........  :sad1:
