I got impatient and fed up of being let down with availability so I ended up cancelling my order and bought a pair of second hand calipers that I've now got ready to be sent off to be fully refurbished and painted.



I should have these looking as good as new soon enough so at the min I'm still on track with my plans.

Really need to stop spending at the moment, sorted out brand new R32 rear calipers so will have 310mm vented set up to with the NQSBBK so hoping it will stop well as the standard set up really really doesn't cut it at the moment.

When I fitted the front and rear r32 set up on my gttdi it improved the braking a great deal and the pedal is right at the top

Calipers look fabolous Dan, they even looked awesome in black IMHO  :evilgrin:

And anything with 'PORSCHE' tax written on it adds to the raw coolness.
I want a set myself but can't justify it on usage and cost tbh.

Still never see you around anymore...  :stupid: :grin: :laugh:

I had the headlights done last week and if I'm honest I'm preferring the old lights, I can't get used to these yet, what do people think??
