100% Arin. The issue would be that the "regular" Golf folks with 50mm steel knuckles get included as the RS3 ducts have to be modified to fit more than just the lower portion tabs that get cut off.

Who makes these? And did anyone try this?
Wouldn't this go against the design of the vanes in the rotor? They are design to flow air from the center of the rotor to the outside, that's why most vented systems inject air in the center area of the rotor.

Hi guys,
I got the RS3 airguides (8V0 407 811 & 8V0 407 812) and for me it was a difference between boiling the brake fluid on the track and not boiling it. So quite a difference. Recently I noticed that in ETKA there are new parts on the 2022 A3/S3/RS3 (can also be found on 2020 GY A3) - 8V0 407 811 A & 8V0 407 812 A. I was not able to find anything on these on this forum. It seems that these have sharper corner towards the caliper. I found them on eBay https://www.ebay.com/itm/175704228938. Did somebody tried them?
The diagram in ETKA is for the 5WA parts and that is the bottom LCA aero piece so don't get confused.

They go over the aero guards. Won't fit otherwise.

Can you post/link these front LCA aero covers? I know I've seen them here somewhere but can't find it.
Thankyou.
I think they`re on the other thread about underbody protection . .
sorry, can`t find it myself.
