Fitting Golf R retainer clips to Cupra brakes
« on: April 20, 2012, 01:59:45 pm »
Hi Guys/Gals

Got hold of some Golf R clips today and wanted to know whether they will fit my Cupra brakes and what is involved in fitment?

Do I have to remove the silver part of the caliper or does the clip fit on top?

Thanks

Yeah the silver clip needs removing!

It's basically the same thing as the R clip, but the R clip has a big front plate. The silver one has the little square front plate.

Take care removing and installing them. A screwdriver can be used carefully but watch the paint, and yourself if it springs out  :happy2:

I chipped the hell out of mine, was glad I had not paid to have them powdercoated or would have been livid!
Pull each side out, and then push the square part forward as there is a small tab underneath, then to put the R one on, put the tab in, then prize the clips into place, they have quite a bit of give, but be careful of fingers, as they slap pretty hard and painful if they come back at you. :happy2:

Thanks for the replies guys, I take it that this can still be done with the calipers fitted to the car?  :happy2:
