Very neat little job there, well done.

Now just nip down and do mine the same please..LOL

Its actually really easy to do and rebuild if you have the circlip tool for the rears, took me 8 months to find someone with replacement circlips!

Very smart!

I challenge you to keep them that clean once they're on the car!

Challenge accepted!

Have you done them red because its impossible to find the correct shade of vRS Mint Green in Caliper paint?

 

I really want to paint mine, but can't find the colour!

 

EDIT: Just found this actually, Traffic Green - 6024 isn't it?

Did you find it difficult to put the rear calliper piston 'o' ring seal in? I've got mine out but can't get it back in, it's a lot bigger than the hole it came out of and just seems to fold over

Wow, if you gonna do a job do it properly. Some nice fresh calipers there.

I did mine ready because on the limited edition vrs they were red

I found the rear calipers to be a total pain in the a** tbh

Took me months to get them done as i kept forgetting about them!

Try buying a new seal. Rubbers can swell easily with brake cleaner.as I have done this in the past. Not on a VAG. It was iveco though

Where did you get the rebuild kit from mate

And are you going to share? :p

 

I spoke to the guy who has them and he doesnt want to advertise anymore than he has due to being swamped and having a day job.

 

He did say if anyone wants parts i can go to him to get them sorted and i wont take a cut

Rebuild kits came from BigRed and a few other parts came from the guy who helped me rebuild them

Could you please spec those 'other' parts maybe ?

Cheers;)

Circlips for the rears, a couple of bolts i was missing etc.

 

He can and does get all parts for pretty much every caliper

Look sweet - I like to take the wheels off from time to time to both clean the alloys properly and give the brakes a good clean, never as clean or as shiny as the ones above though! They look top drawer.
