r's came with the same brakes and i was feeling spicy lol

fuck em

I know R's do. But those didn't come from an R, and didn't go on an R.

Purposely up-badging your car? You're not a rice burner...

But you didn't purposely put them there. So it's not as bad.

The list of brake 'holy n00b'ness of wrong logos, in descending order:

3) @swcrow having TT RS logos. They came on the brakes by default, and they are really good brakes. But also didn't go out of your way to get rid of the logo. Gets a pass.

2) @dtfd having PORSCHE text on his Macans. Went out of his way to put the 'PORSCHE' decal on, but they do technically say 'PORSCHE' underneath the powder coating. No cummies for you.

1) @riceburner having R logos on his GTI SE with GTI brakes. Yes, the R came with the same size brakes. But neither are those from an R, or going on an R. Purposely upbadging. I'm deleting you daddy!

Really, idgaf what anyone does to their car. It's their own car, and doesn't impact me at all.

When I installed the Macans and GTI PP rear brakes on my TDI I had them all painted yellow. I lost the Brembo decals before I dropped them off so I ordered another set and had them sent straight to the paint shop. The decals come with two sizes... paint shop correctly put the larger decals on the Macans but they put the smaller decals on the PP rear calipers .

look maine, that was in 2017. I've grown a lot since then lol

I'm not a fan of the Brembo decals, but there's nothing wrong with that. They are Brembo brakes, after all.

Now if you put Bremob decals on some cheap, non-Brembo knock offs...

 

[riceburner]

I do recall swaying back and forth on doing brembo decals instead. should have; either way that car has been riceburnered a long time ago
