maybe a silly question
Does the GT come with front and back brake calipers?since they will show through the 18" vancouvers

Yes - factory finish metal (silver colour) front & rear.

GTI's I noticed today are painted red.

The dealer I bought my Golf from is featuring a VW sanctioned "Special" Mk VI - a 3-door GT in red with black roof (I initially thought it was a full-length glass roof, but its not, just paint) and black alloys.

The salesman was telling me they're "walking out the door", so you obviously have your finger on the "cool" button. ;)

Great for some I suppose but black alloys are not for me as they make the car look dirty all the time. Anyone can get that effect by leaving the brake dust to accumulate.

But if they were white.........:approve:

Its a personal preference mate but of course brake dust colour is more of an anthricite to be exact not black.......................

It only takes a call to the wheel specialists to get wheels re coated in white or any other colour.............. thats what these wheels were - standard and recoated.
