I bought a mk2 golf omp one. As usual it didn't fit. So chopped the 2 ends of then got a fabricator to bend up some stainless pip with an angle to clear the engine, welded the ends to it, painted it in heat treated crinkle red paint, bolted it on. Maybe not the most cost affective way but works a treat and looks rather nice I recon. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Rustless arches jim, RUSTLESS ARCHES!!!!!!!

Been on the phone to pay pal for last 15 minutes, they have reviewed the case and im 100% covered, i HAVE NOT raised a dispute at this point and this is written confirmation of a last warning to process the refund. This final contact/ warning is as recommended by them. Should i raise the dispute with paypal they will instantly take £450 from you account, depending on your account balance this could stuff you up a bit. Im happy to give you a few days should you wish, to do this the easy way. Should you choose the hard way they will literally just take it out your account regardless. Choice is yours. Thanks.

No more bull sh it are you going to issue me a refund or not? Answer me straight so i know whether to open the dispute with paypal or not.

I wanted to fit these, more than anything, if i could, i would? do you not think that? why would i be going through all this hassle if all i had to do was buy some discs? Use your common sense man.

Seriously, why are you being such a d ick about all this? its embarrassing for you!

And yes, i said this when i thought the calipers and brackets fitted my car, LIKE YOU SAID THEY WOULD..... WHICH THEY DONT! AS WE NOW KNOW!

The brackets, DONT FIT ON THE CORRADO VR6 HUBS, they are not the correct ofset!!! YOUR CORRADO HAS EARLY MODEL MK2 GOLF HUBS? Can you seriously not understand that?

Ive answered your point with the calipers 10 times over James, Read all that ive put up to this point

As i said previously! "In order to make these fit, i would need all new discs, Badger 5 supply the ones needed (LINK) £598, these are LEON NOT IBIZA Cupra disc fitments for a completely different hub off set!!!!! This is not just a case of different discs!! Then i would need someone with a bespoke bracket for this set up, which badger 5 no longer produce, so i would need a custom machinist to make me up a set of brackets this would cost god knows how much as there is no jig to go by. AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST, i would have to change every single one of my wheels, as this set up can only be ran with 17" wheels. the discs needed are to bog for a 16" wheels Then 4 new tyres to match, this is just not an option to me not in the slightest. " Whats so hard to understand about this? why cant you get your head around the fact its not just a case of new discs!!!!!!!!! Those calipers could be made to fit a f ucking morris minor, the difficulty lies on getting the right bracketry and discs to match with the correct off set.

Little up-date to brighten my mood despite all of my current brake shenanigans, James @ OBD-works sent over some picture of what the underside of my car now looks like, all rust cut out, welded up, treated, sealed then re coated, looks amazing. Also new copper brake lines, Very pleased!!!! Also he has somehow managed to neatly fit in a oil catch can utilizing the coolant res tank bracket. Looks awesome as per! [ATTACH=CONFIG]84007[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]84008[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]84009[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]84010[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]84011[/ATTACH] Over to stealth next week to try tackle my head situation, so to speak. Hopefully gasket and not my head :(

If this pulls of mate, you could be on to an absolute winner!!!!!

I have maintained throughout this entire ordeal that i KNOW you didn't sell me these with any intentional misleading. I know you didn't and honestly believe you genuinely thought it was all exactly as it needs to be to fit my car. I did not "Bump" you on fees, you wanted the money as a gift, i however didnt want to send it you as a gift as then i would be completely unprotected from a situation like this. The seller Fee's, the clues in the name, are for the seller to pay. I however met half way and sent you half your fees as a gift. "Hindsight ehh!" Your telling me mate! haha. Im not getting back into a debate on fees. Can we just act like adults not people hiding behind keyboard and do the proper thing please. Refund my money ill send them back. Easy.

Might be going down the High Spec Route after all lads :lol: :lol: :lol:

I clearly dont have the knowledge tools or capability you do, my only source of a solution being google search and the only thing i found to resolve it was a hard wired pipe "Porsche to Mk3 Golf" kit that goes into a brembo caliper and leaves you with a fitting in the correct location for the corrado. This costing £50 for the 2 lines. Dont see how you can portray that as me trying to make something more than it is. I pay my guy whos one of the best in my opinion what ever he wants and most garages working on 45/50 an hour i see £150 more than a reasonable price. as for the postage, they weigh enough to easily justify £40/50 on a recorded. So i am struggling to see how im being anything other that reasonable? And having nothing but a lovely reception on here since i started dont see where all of a sudden im being made to look a c unt for trying to get a refund from someone who clearly sold me something with false information as he had no idea what he had. And now im being told im trying to make it out like more than it is.

James, I can guarantee you, on my life. This set up will not fit my car. It is not just a case of buying different discs. Not by any means. I dont know why you think im trying to pull a fast one here. Im sure paypal will review this and see my case as more than reasonable, should it have to come to that. You car is NOT a vr6 and does not use VR6 hubs, even now you clearly still dont understand this. and Hoff, maybe from where you are sat this looks like the case, but the attachment on thew caliper "left as a reference" was the wrong fitting entirely, so i had to source a brake line that would go into the caliper and leave me an attachment with the correct fitting and spacing etc to go to the corrados existing brake lines, not a £3 bit of copper piper mate. Regardless of all of the above, this was sold to me as everything i need to bolt straight on. which it sure as hell isnt. what is there to dispute. You sold me this under false pretenses and now your disputing that. Shameful.

Your hubs and discs and the whole set up, are not for my car, they are for a G60/mk2 golf. Your car from what information i can gather, is a mk1 early spec corrado sharing the mk2 golf hub mine is the late spec VR6 hub/mk3 golf. You car appears to be a mk2 golf/ g60 hub that has been re-drilled/ modified in some way so is shares the same 5x100 PCD as the later spec model. Hence why when you messaged me stating you have the perfect set up for my car and everything needed to fit it, you obviously saw mine was a Vr6, saw yours was a VR6 and shared the same 5x100 PCD so assumed as anyone would they share the same hub and would go straight on, as you insisted. I dont for one second think you didn't believe this. The discs offset and brackets supplied are miles out meaning the discs foul on the anti-roll bar and other things, ive had my mechanic (OBD-Works) a very experienced and overly qualified person establish this following a wasted day stripping all the old breaks of then trying to fit these. I have also since rang Badger 5, a company that makes Brembo adapting kits for mk2 golfs, old Volkswagen's and more. They have also verified this information, they continued to explain what i stated above, about the discs being completely the wrong offset and literally WILL NOT under any circumstanced fit my car. This in turn means the brackets are also completely useless to me. The set up and off set they accommodate is not one compatible with my car. In order to make these fit, i would need all new discs, Badger 5 supply the ones needed (LINK) £598, Then i would need someone with a bespoke bracket which badger 5 no longer produce, so i would need a custom machinist to make me up a set of brackets this would cost god knows how much. AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST, i would have to change every single one of my wheels, as this set up can only be ran with 17" wheels. Then 4 new tyres to match, this is just not an option to me not in the slightest. Tbh, the more i type and explain this the more aggravating its becoming. I've paid £150 on labour for the time wasted figuring all this out by my mechanic. I had to buy £50 of parts to over come the damage you had clearly done when removing them. which you didn't even tell me about. Not to mention the amount of time James (OBD-works) and i have wasted figuring out what parts i need to adapt the wrong fitting that came of the calipers brake line. And now, im pretty sure im going to have to be the one paying for the postage back to you, £40 odd maybe £50 as ill want it recorded delivery. So thats literally £250, just thrown in the bin. Yet im still being polite, still being patient, and all im asking from you, is a refund for the £450 i spent on brakes that are completely no use to me.

I'm not meaning to smear any names. Or insults any builds. From where I'm sat I bought them proposed to me by you as a perfect fit to my vr6 and hassle free, and they arrived. Not only damaged and needing repairs but they don't fit. I tried to clarify all the specs before I purchased them and I know you answered my queries with the most of your knowledge on them. I also messaged you when the line fittings didn't fit and got no reply. I'm not a little key board warrior looking to sl ag someone off. I just want to resolve the issue im now involved with. I bought £600 of tyres that don't fit. My heads potentially cracked meaning I gotta fork out God knows what, I'm driving across Europe in a month or so and now I'm an unnecessary £450 down not to mention I've got to fork out for the wasted labour at the garage. Who found all this out. So to be fair. I think I'm being perfectly polite and understanding on all accounts. I'm merely wanting this resolved as soon as possible. It's hard to interpret in written words the intentions behind a message but honestly I understand there's no bad intentions I just want it sorted. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

No it's the disc. It hits on the track rod and other bits. I spoke to badger 5 they said there no way of making them fit with the set up I have. I would need different discs. New brackets and 17" wheels. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

yet he runs 5 studs? all the wheels i have seen in this thread have been 5 stud. So this is a G60 with 5 stud hubs? Thats got to be it then as the discs dont fit on my car. What a pain in the arse. Stil doesnt make up for the money now wasted that i spend repairing broken bits. Going to have to sort a refund and send them back as they are of completely no use to me now. what a waste of time and money. :?:confused: Added a G60 with 5 studs hub and a vr6 lump and a vr6 grill/badge. F uck sake

These obviously fit onto a VR6, so whats missing for them to fit onto mine? Im not going to just let it go, you have always been a valued member on here and got on with everyone so why do this to another member? firstly you sel me calipers damaged i have to repair telling me they are mint, and now the discs dont fit? just give me a shout and let me know what the crack is please mate. im not a pr ick and not looking for arguments, just want the calipers i bought as "ready to fit" to actually fit?
