  • Question RE Skoda Brakes

    Can anyone tell me what the equivalent Model(s) Golf GTI my Wifes skoda shares the same brakes with ? (If indeed, this is a correct assumption.)

    Reason for asking, was surfing the net / You Tube the other night and stumbled across these.

    MGP Caliper Covers - YouTube

    A visit to the website shows they have a number of fitments for VW.

    $200 USD and likely to be expensive shipping also???
    MKV/MKVI Golf GTI or maybe a late model Jetta would also be very close

    Have you seen these on eBay - $26 USD and free postage - cheap and look much better (glue them to the calipers)

      $200???? you may as well put that money into something useful and get actual larger calipers/rotors.

      those cheap ebay covers are probably the same thing.

        Thanks for the replies / input thus far.

        The Purchase price is no big deal. If the items are as light as they claim, shipping would not bother me either.

        I have real Brembos on my Car, so my Brembo fix is satisfied.

        I have no interested in putting fakes on the Wifes car, and I have no interest in doing any kind of brake conversion on it either.

        I have seen the e-bay Brembo covers and they are plastic and in my opinion looked very ordinary / tacky.

        I thought these looked good in a number of videos on You Tube and as the Skodas brakes are kind of ugly at best, I thought it would be an easy mod to do. If they keep the brake dust off the wheels, bonus.

            Shipping or price is not an issue.

            They have Holden listed as a manufacturer they cater for. I assume they can ship to Australia no problems. But I will repeat again, this is not an issue.

            Also, "They" claim the product will reduce brake dust (Not me). If it doesn't, I don't really care, but it would be a bonus

            Martin, I thank you for your input thus far, but I'm not really after a debate on the product / shipping costs. My original inquiry was reasonably clear I felt.

            Cheers - DA\/E.

                Thanks for the offer.

                However, product I mention is made in the USA, and I do not support the illegal knock off industry.

                  If you have an RS then the fronts are the same as a MKV GTI.

                  GLS Rally Sport can probably give you a more educated answer

                    I couldn't find this store anywhere, until I allowed for dyslexia and found GSL Rallysport.
                    They only had Holden, Nissan, and Mitsubishi, that I could see.

                    Better to go in to the actual workshop?
