You fitting the rear S3 brakes then?  The Std GTI/Ed30  splash guards just need a touch of tweaking (very gentle bending) out of the way to provide clearance.

No the R8 has a little separate handbrake caliper.  Fit the front of a MK5 quite easily.............

Need to finish that wiring......    :wink:

Theyre the old ones in that chrome pic, notice the stiffening bar on the calipers in the "garage" they're there to prevent flex.
