And is that with a plug and play kit to do it for 40 quid?
Ended up going for a pd130 mk4 golf, averaging 55mpg so far but the brakes are somewhat spongier than I would like! @RubberDuck Thats odd to see it again! I wonder how much it went for in the end..
@JB21 just a straight bolt on job with the calipers?
