I posted a while back on this topic and the kit is now ready for my car- I hope to have them fitted by the end of the week- here is the guys advert from another forum- I will report back but I am optimistic that the outcome will be better than the iron upgrade route and may be lighter than and possibly better than a cupra or R32 set up.
"Hi boys/girls, as some of you are aware i have been starting to make big brake upgrades using 4 pot ap racing calipers (these do have the tvr logo on them, this can either be machined off or left as they are at no extra cost) and then making the brackets and bells to fit various other cars.
I personally have a set fitted to my own car a Peugeot 306 rallye and have to say they are great-
The set i have made up may interest some of you on here, these are a big brake kit for the mk5 golf/seat leon, these are 335mm brake rotors, bells, brackets, pads, calipers and braided brake lines, basically everything you need to fit these to your car. All the brackets and the bells (centre of the disc) have been clear anodised so will not corrode and look horrid behind your wheels.

If fitting is a problem then please state and i can fit these for you at my garage in Leicester. "
Selling these for £995 and will fit the kit for an extra £50 with fresh brake fluid being flushed through your brake system.
Mine will be finished in red and retain the TVR logo- but not picked out in any colour.
