    big reds

    Shrish

    Hope you got my PM. Feel slightly responsible, as you felt sufficently impressed enough to buy one after thrashing mine about a bit. And you bought the first one you saw!

    Here is a pic of my big red for reference. Hope you get it sorted soon.

      Hi Simon, good to hear from you! No PM though???

      No fault of yours chap, I'm just glad I made it back from Manchester in one piece! i've never seen anything like it before.

      Anyway, an upgrade will be an early birthday present to myself!!

        BTW, does anyone think these calipers look the same, side on at least?

          Rather than comparing blurred images go get the part numbers off them.

            Update

            Agreed with selling dealer to take the car to my local Audi dealer. They've looked it over and suggested new front discs/pads and handbrake shoes.

            Best of all though, the selling dealer has agreed to pay for the whole lot Not a quibble!

            At present Audi prices, amounts to over £900 in total!

            Funniest quote was for the wheelnuts - 9.46 each (x20) = £177.85!

            Laugh? I nearly sh4t myself....

              Shirish. Thats a result getting the garage to pay for it

              Shame it can't be offset someway against a brake upgrade

              Will you live with them standard for a while then..........

                Hey Dean

                A result indeed. I'm getting very assertful in my old age!

                I will see how these go, but as i've mentioned in another post, I may pick up some 996 GT3 Mk1 calipers this weekend, going for £360.

                Thats if they're easy enuff to fit to the RS! I don't want any messing about when it comes to replacement parts etc.
