Skezza Posted September 18, 2023 Report Share Posted September 18, 2023 Brother in law has been borrowing my GTI and got it MOTd. They said it needed a new rear caliper but the caliper they've installed is silver. Do aftermarket parts come on silver or is this likely the wrong caliper?

Rich Posted September 19, 2023 Report Share Posted September 19, 2023 Yes, they come in silver. Paint it red and get on with life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lupogtiboy Posted September 19, 2023 Report Share Posted September 19, 2023 They used to come in red, but that went out the window years ago, so now they only supply a silver Lupo Sport rear caliper, which is the same, just not painted red Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davy26 Posted September 24, 2023 Report Share Posted September 24, 2023 (edited) Just for information - I managed to source a replacement (rear) red-painted caliper for my Gti last year from Autodoc, (their article # BHQ137E). (£70 + core charge). Edited September 24, 2023 by davy26 Bracket missing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottee88 Posted 4 hours ago Report Share Posted 4 hours ago Just had to get a new rear caliper and it is silver. Goes nicely with my three red ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
