I had read that the GTI and 1.6 tdi shared brakes, that was wrong. Had a look and my 1.6 tdi has carriers integrated into the hubs so need to swap hubs too to fit the 312mm discs and calipers. Probably won't be worth it if im not going to track it, might do it in the future though as I've got a remap and dpf removal planned.

Like the porsche wheels

Ah right yeah probably not worth the hassle. Just try upgraded pads and grooved discs maybe? Main problem is trying to get heat out of the discs so putting larger brakes on isn't necessarily the answer for you

I'm sorry your not able to understand the meaning of the winking smiley I put in there to symbolice that it was just a querky/funny comment...
Love the wheels... But normally people have a little bit of humor... But I guess I was wrong...

I do have humour but i didn't really see the joke at first because you didn't actually put any smileys... any way thanks for the comment.

Not Updated in a while, Not much happening really!
Car had its first MOT last week and of course passed with flying colours
Ordered myself some Corbeau Clubsport bucket seats which I'm going to re-trim with GTI Interlagos material
Hopefully the car should be ready for FittedUK on the 26th.
Ill Update again when the seats come :D
