you may have got a thew more comments about the engine cover if you did before and after pics maybe being a 20vt driver i dont know how your bay looked before
you say killing two birds with one stone with the front spacers does that mean your getting bigger brakes?

Its only the 'seat sport' bit that has changed and the 3 red TDI letters

for realising my hint

Brand new disks, pads and retaining pins. Need to wait for the cupra brake hoses to arrive from spain (cheers David from sere motors) then hopefully get them fitted, just hoping they will get under the bbs wheels. I can currently fit my finger between the caliper and wheels right now with ease, so there is hope...... if not there is spacers

£10 says they won't fit mate! I was shocked how wide the calipers are. 65mm needed between disc face and wheel IIRC. Get out there with a tape measure pal....

 

[Scott-o]

They are massive arnt they lol it may be the case they dont fit tbh but i gotta try! If not grinder will be coming out and some red paint lol

 

[dervpower]

Good move Scott!

 

[Scott-o]

Cheers mate, just praying they fit, really want some nice 4 pots to go behind the bbs!

Don't you have 312's?

 

[cupra.al]

you wont regret buying them there awesome brakes.
fingers crossed they dont require grinding.

nah the FR has 288mm

thats my next move...312mm after its lowered this week

Nope, bigger brakes have always been on the cards after the wheels went on

Just been doing some test fitting etc and doesnt look like they will fit unless i use a 10mm spacer, which isnt really gonna happen calipers and pads will probs be up for sale soon

nah the FR has 288mm

thats my next move...312mm after its lowered this week

Yeh the 288mm ones are not good really, need bigger and better braking

 

[Scott-o]

Calipers and pads probs for sale very soon lol

Same as mine mate. I bought some recently and did the measurements... then sold them on. I wasn't prepared to go down the spacers route as I like the handling as it is at the moment!

 

[Scott-o]

about 8mm spacer, so a 10mm one and it would clear with no shaving down of the caliper. But then id probably need arches flaring and stuff like that. Don't fancy doing it. Pretty gutted tbh! Calipers are immaculate aswell, brand new retaining pins from ap and brand new uprated mintex pads. Thought i'd hit the jackpot! Looks like ill have to sell the calipers and get myself some tt calipers and carriers and keep these disks!

Bad times mate. I made the same decision as you... a good set of discs and pads with the TT set-up will be a vast improvement over OEM anyway!

 

[Scott-o]

Yeh, i just wanted bigger flashier brakes to go behind the bbs lol hmm will probs sell them soon then, wanna keep the disks though so wouldnt know what to ask for the calipers and pads tbh!

[knight85]

Scott, where did you get the engine cover from? Was it from a cupra TDI? looks spot on
