Brakes are on, went on without a hitch, manually and vagcom bled the system along with some good quality fluid.

Front -

Rear -

Initial impression is they have good bit, pedal is a tiny bit softer but they need bedding in, then after a few hundred miles I'll re bleed them.

little update,

got the dreaded engine sensor fault, car actually stalled on me,

replaced with a genuine one £60 for a sensor !! easy job though,

next was a new front splittler been looking tierd for ages,

today i finally re aligned the car on the hunter, due to having wish bone bushes fitted it felt a bit rough driving it, both wheels were toe out no wonder haha.
