Not at the moment. Currently it's sitting on the dunes on the rear and axle stands at the front with no hubs whilst I sort out the brakes. Whit Christmas and the cold weather I've been very lazy. But I have all the parts now so will start sorting it out very soon.

Yes they do
Not sure what pads you're going to use but I used Tarox Corsa pads and they worked great in cold and even better when warm/hot

so its a worth while upgrade? you can get recon calipers and carriers with new discs and pads for 275 in red, if its a good upgrade then seems a bit of a bargin

It certainly is a worth while upgrade. That's the kit I got but purchased better pads as mentioned.

sorry for all the quuestions but im just getting to grips with the modding side if things
seen as your thred is a bible i figured you might know, what dyou think would give more air a k&n conefilter on the end of the maf with no intake pipe or a panel filter with the cupra diesel intake? reason i ask is because the previous owner had it remapped with the k&n cone on and when i fit the standard box with standard intake pipe with pipercross panel filter its doesnt seem to run as smooth. i want the cone off as if i declair it insurance prices will go through the roof becuase im 18 and if i get pulled and they see it police will have something to say.
hope you can help
cheers

No problem re the question. That's what these forums are for.
The K&N cone will have a bigger surface area therefore would perform better than the other setup.
There is the option to get a cone in the box from Jabba sport and using the PD160 intake to the bottom of he airbox.
I ran this setup previously.

Thanks for the help but again while I'm too young to declair mods with out paying millions I don't was silicone hoses or anything obviously not standard if you catch my drift.

Have you declaired you're mods? I don't fully understand how the police work with stuff like this because there's loads of chavs in 1200 corsa and clios that are louder than a jet with blatantly illegal lights and they don't seem to get pulled but I know my luck I would and I've got to be good for the next couple months due to army training lol

Nah lad i haven't declared anything ha iv got HID lights too .... they had a big crack down in my town at one point gave like 100 cars a Section
shut down a cruise in a under ground car park and blocked everyone in took a few cars off people and stuff too

since then the police have been pretty slack around here

I suppose it depends on the copper on the day but do they tend to look under bonets and stuff ?

most police unless a Petrol head will know next to nothing about what a cars engine is supposed to look like ... most people dont i doubt they would lift the bonnet up more paper work

I was talking to a guy at a party once after telling him all about my car and how its insured and everything he tells me he's a traffic cop he took the mick for a bit then said he would never do someone for mods because he loves cars and he couldn't be bothered with the hassle unless the driver was been a idiot with him

Fair one I'm still undecided as I can't get in s**t for driving as it could result in loss of career in worst case sinario. But I've just seen the cone in a box and its only one 90 degree hose so I suppose if that's black and I get the top plate of the 'lid' in black it would look pretty standard. Any thoughts? Page 15 of this thread have a look

Got picked up for pressed plates on my mk2. This caught his attention and after I argued the legality of these he asked me to open the bonnet. It had. 20v turbo in it. He gave me a prohibition notice. You know what for? My battery being loose. don't worry about it mate!
