    I want to put some red brake callipers on the G60 (to go behind the new porsche wheels), I don't want to paint my original ones (looks like a cheat).

    The front wheels are 6.5" X 15" and the rears are 7.5" x 15"

    ta very much [:$]

    I think the Seat Ibiza Cupra brakes are red as standard and they are almost exactly the same as proper G60 ones. I have accidently managed to get 2 sets of them as well soon.

    Ooooo, if they are the same size and will fit behind the Porsche teledial wheels, and you don't need another set then send me a mail

    can anyone confirm if they are a straight swap [:?:]

    you didn't say you wanted brembo's, you said you wanted red calipers.

    They will fit behind 15" compomotive MO's

    The mk2 ABF engined Ibiza Cupra and the 1.8T engined mk3 Ibiza Cupra both had 280mm G60 brakes, except the mk3 calipers were painted red from the word go. Red paint is red paint at the end of the day.

    The Brembos are off the Ibiza Cupra R.

    They DO fit behind ET20, I have some and tried them out on Matt D's 16v with the Brembos fitted. I had more room to spare than his 16" BBS
