Just read this from started to finish. Great work. Lots of inspiration for when I get my caddy, the interior especially.

Thanks. It's still very much a work in progress. I have loads more I want to do with the interior, especially in the cabin.

Pretty please to have got these Golf GTi MK6 brake upgrade parts for $200.00 today. Carriers, callipers, 312mm rotors and pads with about 70% still left on them.

Will be fitting them Wednesday.

Bollocks.

They are both for the LHS. Not sure how I didn't notice that when I picked them up. :oops:

Spoke with the seller who says he had bought them from a wreckers. He has the receipt so hopefully I can get one side swapped over for the RHS. Failing that I'll be hitting him up for a refund.

Not a big problem at the end of the day. PITA having to do all the required running about though. :roll:

I have just left it powered by the original battery but eventually I will hard wire it to the cars 12v system.
Do you have a part number for this button?

This is the one I have:

But they are available elsewhere and also available as a complete kit.

The kits seems over priced to me considering a universal garage remote is only a few £££

Hard to tell. Is been very wet here the last few days and the pads will need to bed in a bit before I put them to the test so to speak.

One of the reasons I did this was because my 155k km service was due and I figured my front rotors needed changing. As it turns out I had a 4mm lip on them so they are goosed.

So all in all I've come out with a nice brake upgrade for less than the price of replacing the rotors alone.

Thanks very much.

Interestingly when using Tapatalk your swear word is still there, but not when using Chrome.
