That would unbalance the car with more pots on the back Dan.
Sorry I wrote it a bit retarded , there 6pots on the front with a 363 mm disk and 4 pot 305 mm on the rear
That would be an AWESOME set up but you would find alot of wheel lock up unless you were running road slicks.
In the winter you'd have to run full on winter tyres too
It sure would there £1000, 2k new to buy , well they are brand new and never been fitted , if only I had a spare grand lol

.
mines in the same boat , no under tray , also lost the pass side tray bit that holds the undertray on , and the air duct thingy that was attached
need my brake disks n pads fitted asap and the door carrier to put back on
cant be bothered at the min , but shud as when it rains its to late to do it then
My sidewall section that holds the tray is damaged also. Too many rolling roads and the speed hump yesterday didnt help. Got Slick coming round tonight with his racing jack and stands so I can have a look at try a DIY.mines in the same boat , no under tray , also lost the pass side tray bit that holds the undertray on , and the air duct thingy that was attached

The airduct is cooling for the gear box, not so sure how benificial it is tbh. I think the FR+ dont even have that section on.
Undertray problem resolved. Massive thank you to Slick for coming round and really doing it all underneath the car. We had to make a new hole in the sidewall for one screw that ripped through one of the OEM holes.
In the long run I will have to get new undertray sidewalls and Slick is trying to talk me into getting a panzer undertray with him...
Car decided to **** its rear leg aswell when jacking up the car.

Well Maz,
I've done 256mm rear brakes conversion and I think that's enough for our "powers". There are 3 cars which have the same calipers: Leon 1M Cupra R, Audi S3 8L and Skoda Octavia 1 RS the calipers from those cars fits p'n'p. If you got rear caliper from 4x4 then you will need custom spacer which is not esspecially good solution. Also pads and discs fits from those cars. I get mine pads and discs from Black Diamond and I'm happy with them. You aill need to chage those round "discs protectors" which are behind rear discs for a bigger ones. Small clever advise: you can put there front discs from Leon 1.6i 256x22mm they are the same but cheaper. And the "panzer plate" it's not very good idea either - it lower the car dramatically and it's heavy like hell. Just remove OEM covers and enjoy. Also engine cooling will be better but it will affect engine bay with a dust.
Best regards,
Stan

Its all coming along nicely!!
My neglected Golf will be yours for a weekend and I hope it comes back as gleaming as yours but trust me..paintwork is bad!
will pop by one evening for that key - hopefully tonight!
Any joy with the 280mm spacer?
Stan you are right about the 256mm being more than enough for our power but we are men and we want bigger.. lol
on a serious note I think the 280mm rallye discs are the same price as the 256mms (iirc £51 each from the stealers)

Panzer plate is only 10KG Stan. Some other plates I have seen are like 20+ KG.
I dislike the noise you get from not having the bottom tray. The car is loud as it is. I also get slight weeping from the joins on the standard intercooler so I dont want the oil to stain anywhere.
I havent had the time mate, literally rushed off my feet. Can you contact that guy also?
Has the guy done the dents?
No probs Maz, glad to help and wasnt too bad of a job if not a little dirty laying on your driveway lol
Your have to tell me more about this 280 and 256 disc situation, alittle puzzled in why the bigger really?
By the way Rams, you meationed Key, you dont by chance know where I can buy new blades to be cut, but I mean OE blades not the cheap bronze/copper plated crap...?

Maz, I booked dents for saturday but missus has decided she wants to go thorpe park!! she asked me why I cant make it, I told her... she was not amused! Not sure if I can do the dents - I will need to ring and see if hes free one day in the week!
DaveB got back to me, I emailed you the reply yesterday...
Slick, I think East London Security centre in Romford road do just the blade bit (no chip but the actual blade itself)
