Love the color combo, the grey with the glossy black! Nice upgrades also!

Hi CaddyChippy88, thanks very much. For the sunvisors I had the local seamstress do them for me. The caddy visors just slide into the covers, they are finished off with a strip of narrow Velcro at the top.

These look really good mate.

Does anyone know if the same set up will be a straight fit on a mk3, 55mm strut? I’ve lowered and bigger wheels, and the brakes need sorting now, they’re not looking great behind the wheels

Thanks very much Calums512.

Hi Daz_87, when I was reading up about the MK7 Golf R brakes I did see mentioned a few times if you have 55mm strut and hub with the removable caliper carrier then they should fit.

Cheers, I thought so, mine has the caliper carrier and 55 strut so I’m going to go ahead and see what I can find.
The 340mm disc will fit the front with the new front brake, but what about the rear I see you went bigger disc there also?

I haven’t been upgraded yet so I can’t get in the tech sections, otherwise i would look there.

Appreciate the help.
