annavr6 10 Posted August 9, 2016 Hi All We have worked at Heritage with Julian who h as a VR6 corrado here to re produce these backing plates for 280/288mm brakes. They for Corrado VR6 models and Mk3 Golf GTI and VR6 models. Julian is going to check the fit on his car with one set, Would anyone like to test fit the other set? My only ask is that you post photos in this thread afterwards. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
easypops 8 Posted August 9, 2016 Me :) I've actually been looking for a set and have the car in partial bits so fitting will(hopefully) be quick and easy........not usual Corrado terms mind you :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

annavr6 10 Posted August 9, 2016 Hi So i think its only fair to go to first poster here. Easypops if i ship them today for tomorrow can you fit by the end of the weekend? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Declan Sedrick Lehane 10 Posted August 9, 2016 Fully understand! If anything happens that Easypops cant help I can be a back up! (Dam delayed sending and terrible internet :sad: haha) Let us know how they go, I think I need some! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(Dam delayed sending and terrible internet :sad: haha) Let us know how they go, I think I need some! Thanks We will be producing them providing the fit on these is spot on. They line up perfectly with a genuine one that we have here and are slightly heavier so hoping all is good to go ahead with production Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 1 Posted August 9, 2016 Great news, Anna. Definitely be after a set of these once they go into production :) What's the situation with the rear plates? I know they're still available but just wonder if it's a matter of time before VW obsolete them. Would you be willing to look into getting those reproduced as well?

Dox 22 Posted August 9, 2016 Can you not produce these in ever lasting stainless steel? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know they're still available but just wonder if it's a matter of time before VW obsolete them. Would you be willing to look into getting those reproduced as well? If the demand is there for the rears then yes we could look to reproduce them. The only thing is when doing something we need a demand as there are large minimum order quantities to enable to you to get a half decent price. Unfortunately you just cant tell when VW are going to make something obsolete so when i dont know on rears if and when currently I notice classic parts are also doing a few corrado bits as they have done the bonnet cable so its good to see someone else taking note of what people want.

seanl82 23 Posted August 9, 2016 So glad you're doing this! I think off side is available but near side is obsolete. Good stuff, thanks Anna! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
easypops 8 Posted August 9, 2016 Hi So i think its only fair to go to first poster here. Easypops if i ship them today for tomorrow can you fit by the end of the weekend? Yes, I'm sure I can, I have discs/pads etc sitting waiting so can't see why not :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
annavr6 10 Posted August 11, 2016 Yes, I'm sure I can, I have discs/pads etc sitting waiting so can't see why not :) Should land with you today Julian weighed them last night. genuine VW originals were 16.7 grams and our new productions are 21.4 grams so they should be better than OE Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

easypops 8 Posted August 11, 2016 They arrived today Anna, and they look great, I can't imagine any reason why they won't fit? I gave them a wee test fit on a set of hubs I have sitting about but I will get them onto the car over the weekend:) Shields On the hubs Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jim 1 Posted August 12, 2016 Can you give us an idea on pricing, Anna? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
annavr6 10 Posted August 12, 2016 Can you give us an idea on pricing, Anna? We have made them in pairs so will be supplied as a pair. Cost will be around £35 for the pair. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 1 Posted August 12, 2016 That seems extremely reasonable :) Thanks! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
annavr6 10 Posted August 12, 2016 That seems extremely reasonable :) Thanks! No worries, glad you think its not too expensive. In comparison mk1 plates are around 20 quid each for reproduction and £35 each for Genuine VW Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

easypops 8 Posted August 14, 2016 Hi Anna, I can't face putting the car back together with all the old rusty bolts, so will be ordering new ones tomorrow, is this something I could get from you? Anyway I've taken a wee selection of pictures with and without the brake disk fitted, although there is little to see with it on. If you want/need any others let me know :) I'm going to be using stainless bolts to hold the shields in place, it's not exactly heavy :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
