That would depend if the above MK4 V5 is 4Motion of not. 

 

The Rear carriers are different to the 2WD version. I've heard rumours of people modifying them to fit but i don't see the point as you can pick up Brake kits up off the 2WD version easy. 

There is no V5 (2.3 litre) 4 wheel drive version. :)

Its the V6? lol 

 

Damn my bad!  :giggle:

Yeah, you get 2.8 V6 4 motions / R32 etc etc.  All with the rear brakes that need a bracket / don't just fit right on

I have a full set of 256mm rear brakes painted red with almost new discs and pads if you are interested? £100?

Anyone know what these holes are for?

Meths works just as well and is cheaper, plus you can wash them in soapy water straight after and use a toothbrush to get them really clean before painting.

Thanks mate I'll try soapy water too, how about inside the caliper? Do I need special liquid?

Cheers
