That's only if you get the rear calipers.
As long as you get the front calipers then you're on to a winner.

all i bought was the Ariel adapter and the autoleads adapter, if you look in this thread http://www.uk-polos.net/view ... 43&t=57607 it will give you the right wires to get it working how the standard hu works too, so the pull key out turn off

got this through the post yesterday! start of my induction, just need to wait and order the filter and a filter for the secondary air intake hose :D
Hi mate, car is looking awesome :) Did you need this piece in the end? Or do you simply need the filter, 90 degree bend and the hose clamps?

Cheers for your help

just a quick update, not posted in my thread for a while. Ive upgraded the front speakers to some Vibe Black air 6.5 and while i was on me jolly hollys i sent it away to get all the stonechips, scratches and dents removed from the bodywork. Its also had a three stage machine polish to get rid of any imperfections in the paint. Tomorrow is a wash and wax day so once its done ill get some pics up of everything ive done!
