UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

Ive been looking through some pictures recently and have noticed quite a few GTI's with mudflaps on them.I think im quite liking the look of them now and want some for my GTI,does anybody know prices for the front ones from VW off the top of their head?.Ive seen Genuine rears on ebay for £9.99.

Any help would be apprechiated,i'd call them but they wont be open for a while now i imagine.

Brad

About £18 ish from memory i think!

That was easy enough,nice one alex ,i dont suppose you know if G60 280mm brakes fit under 15" BBS RX2's do you?,i mean do the calipers clear the wheel without spacers?.

Brad

The answer is yes they do I had some 15s on mine last year, both RX2s and colour concepts and the clear no problems

Excellent,shall keep my eyes open for a pair of those brakes then.Thanks for the help and quick replies alex apprechiate it .Have a good christmas dude.

Brad

All you need is the carriers and discs so you know You too mate!

Nice one dude,whilst on the subject do i need 280mm x 20mm discs or 280 x 25mm discs?.Ive noticed you have 280's on yours .

Now that is a good question, from memory i think its 25 - basically the ones fitted to either the Corrado G60 i beleive Ill see if I can get the part number off mine when I go and see my baby again

Ok man that would be sweet.Do you know whether the carriers are available from VW anymore?.Is it all tucked up in a nice warm garage?.Mine was out tonight for the first time in 10days,didn't want to drive it too much in the snow.Sometimes i forget how fun these little cars are .

Aye she's all tucked away for winter in a nice cosy garage Im not sure to be fair - they come up on here and ebay from time to time so just keep your eyes open.

Haha ye - the first drive in April/May time is one I always look forward to!

Ah you should see the state of mine! I'm going for dirtiest car on the road

The bare lips on my Cups were too far gone to care for by hand, so I've just gone all out and not bothered to do any sort of car cleaning for the last 2 months

lol your paint will be screaming clean me clean me lol. Itll inscribe itself in fingeresque fashion with a 'clean me, im dirtier than your mum' lol

You've changed haha,shame on you.I have to try and keep it clean or my OCD is not cured lol.Roll on summer when it's easy to roll on a detailed car.

Alex I cant seem to send PM's on here for some reason so hopefully you'll read this

Hey dude,just wanted to ask a few questions about your brake set up.What car did you get your carriers from,ive read that either 4or5 stud will work?.Other thing is if using the origional GTI calipers did you use the same gti pads or opt for g60 pads?.Im just trying to consider the difference in sizes of discs etc.Ideally i'd like to stick with 25mm discs and not change to 22mm.If you could point me in the direction of the set up you're running and what you think of it that would be great.

Brad

Hi Brad - how odd!

Right well i beleive they are off a 4 stud (i didnt remove them from the donor, so cant confirm) but as far as I know its a 4 stud carrier. Im using the original calipers and GTI pads as they are the same size, though when I replace the discs and pads, I may go for a full G60 setup. Disc wise im running proper G60 discs which are 25mm

It makes a little difference, but the main difference is the cosmetic side of things

cheers
