Yea that's what I am after.

Are the needed to fit the r32 set up?  Or can I fit the breaks and fit the clips at a later date ?

Got some r32 calipers in the post  :smiley:

Rich...could have just answered the question as well as asking him to remove it.

Andy, I did those for Rich back in the days when golf R springs were £0.90 a corner they're powder coated silver using some exact copy eddy decals I had made. Those now would cost you nearly £100 I'm afraid. Trick is getting the paint right so they don't chip or peel when they bend.

I've  got a tatty S3 spring in the workshop somewhere if you could find another it would be a little more equitable for you
