Spacers, brake pads, cup-holder removal, roll-up rear blinds
Hello folks. My wife has an R-Line 2.0L TFSI Variant, great car but some tweaks are needed:
- Car runs 19" wheels which look great but could do with being stanced out a bit. Has anyone been able to fit wheel spacers successfully? I tried with some that are probably designed for a Mk 7 Golf (same platform) but they didn't fit on the rear due to an curve on the hub.
- Has anyone been able to figure out the model number of the brake caliper, or have a recommendation for replacement brake pads? Something along the lines of EBC Green or Ferodo DS Perfoamance - i.e. street pads that warm fast & give plenty of initial bite. Not really concerned about rotor wear or dust. Again, tried some Mk 7 GTI pads, but they didn't fit.
- I'd like to be able to remove the cup-holders that now occupy the center bin, and make it a simple rectangular storage box (a la Golf Mk V). Any ideas?
- Finally, did anyone spec the 'Sunblinds, side manual roll-up' - if so, can you drop a picture in response please. Considering a retro-fit using OEM parts.
Thanks in advance for any input.
