Re: 2013 Brembodge Group Buy

I can vouch for the stopping power of these kits. Had mine for several years now and its one of, if not the, best mods I've done to my coupe. My only word of caution to potential buyers would be that you might also want to budget for a set of custom brake lines with the correct Pug fitment on the c...

Any news on the wiring loom?

D16 drive shafts

As per title, required for a 216GTi.

I'm not overly worried about the condition of the outer CVs and boots, however the area under the hardmonic dampers must be in good nick. Mine has just sheared a shaft under the dampers :(

Listing on behalf of another owner.

I'm after a wiper stalk, or complete set, for an R8 400 saloon. Hatch/Coupe/Tourer parts won't do due to the rear wash wipe.
