Cheers for the comments fellas.

Ruan it's because of the engine loom that runs down through the wing, can't get the pipe round it and cba moving the loom..

Gah looks like the motor's off the road for the weekend. The GTI calipers are broked, well one is, slider pin is rusted in and I bent it when trying to remove it. Needs a new pin and a clean up, must have been like that for a while though. Thought i'd regreased these when I fitted them to the estate, guess I missed one?

Anyway needed some new brakes asap and happened upon a chap with a 306 HDI140 he was breaking for parts. Discs and pads were shot so he did the calipers and carriers for £55 delivered, pretty reasonable tbh. Another £75 on discs and pads and we're good to go again.

Well we would be if they'd arrived, they haven't. All i've got now is two brand new 283mm discs, good pads for them, one seized GTi6 caliper, two brand new 302mm discs and matching pads. And no working car yet grr.

And yes yes yes, unsprung weight blah blah blah, don't care, i'm a tart and these are big and shiny. Interested to know how they perform tbh, piston size is much the same as the GTI ones but massive pad contact area. Really need the calipers though ffs!

Anyway pic of the new disc vs the new gti one



And one of the 307 pad compared to the gti6 disc, all that extra pad touchyness!



Oh and f*ck off Phil if you're reading. I wanted wavy discs and you never made them so I got these instead...
