Autotech have told me today that they even utilise the splash guards and it is pretty much bolt on... I guess we'll see?

Ive had a look at fitting these this morning on my own car  ( 2004 2.0 TDI )

I did a dry run (brake pipe not plumbed ) and it all bolts up fine bar the lower of the 3 screws for holding on the splash gaurd . I drilled a new hole for this and spaced it  out with a m8 nut with a slightly longer bolt . Ill be fitting the for proper in the next week and ill get better pics then if anybody wants them .

Do the S3 brakes fit the GTI and and are they a straight swap like the R32 fronts.  :smiley:

They're exactly the same, save for a little cover with "S3" on it.. I think you can buy the cover and stick it on the R32/Leon brakes - if you wanted to?
