I have gone for a seat Leon cupra RR servo and master.. Only £20 and not too far off original fitment.. Only 2 extra holes required to fit :)

Why thankyou.. Just properly in 2 minds now, as I was about to put my own 'stealth' stamp on the car, the wheels need a refurb as they were not laqured, so the paint is lifting.. I was going to opt for pearl black, as I'm unsure of the red... (other half loves it!) hmmmnn decisions decisions...

Yeah, from memory, they all had to be snapped off to do the refurb, then glued back on.

I say if your gonna spend money refurbing, then deffo change the colour to summat you like.

Yeah that makes sense.. They are all held in with glue! So I'm either going to properly machine threads in, and fit alloy anodised torx bolts , or fill and smooth the whole rim for a 'cleaner' look.. Already kinda bought the paint.. Nice Audi gloss black.. That with calipers in black, and the discs should help me toward the look I'm hoping to achieve.. :)
