Still a mission to order these, well the discs are fine but apparently 2 lots of pads were fitted to the GT TDI and TDI Sport so I need to find out which pads are the correct ones. Pretty sure I read somewhere you can find this with the chassis number or something!?

Go to VW, and they will just ask for your reg number. Then get part number and go somewhere cheaper ;)

Sussed it out now, cheers for the help everyone

Basically there is x2 different pads that went on the GT's. Quite easy to tell the difference they are actually a bit of a different shape. Think i'm gunna go for some EBC brakes all round ;)
