First thing that was done was replacing all the brakes and disks all round, I went for Pagid All round, so a nice OEM setup again

It started well...

Then the pads...

The disks...

Still can't believe how big the front brakes are compared to the mk4

Next was to remove all the protective stickers it has all over the front end and doors, i know it's expensive and is there for a reason, but it's had it's time and is heavily scratched lol

In sad respects, i'm having to sell my R![]()
Changes in job have taken place, and hours have been cut, so i need a more reasonable car for now, so a diesel is needed, and i can't afford to keep the R going, as much as i'd like too!
so it's been reverted back to standard![]()
Here's the ebay link chaps
