Evening chaps, does anyone know of a good paint to replicate the original drum and caliper colour that greyish silver or should I just go with a satin black ?

Don't think so, but don't quote me on that.

I've got to be quite honest it's not what I would have done (and clearly didn't) but its simply awesome watching the build. The dedication is superb.
Cannot wait to see it in the flesh.

UK Market 1.5CL/1.6CL/1.6GL/1.6GT didn't have rear anti-roll bars as standard I understand -

You know I had not bothered reading this thread because I was not too interested in "Best way to sell a 86 Scirocco GT ??"

But seeing what it is about now I just read all of it :)

Flip James, your attention to detail has to be admired mate :good:

btw, who's house is it were the rear beam etc is on the living room carpet :shock: My missus would allow it, but many wouldn't ;)
