I've got information on the fact that the size of a Triplex windscreen could be an issue. I've been in touch with someone who says his windscreen, brand new, was too large.
Does anybody have got a similar issue?
What about the Pilkington Triplex quality?

I'm preparing all the parts which have to be zing plated.
I've open the 2 front calipers ( the car is an S3) to remove the pistons.
However, between the 2 half calipers there are 2 small o rings. They will have to be changed.
Does someone know where can I buy them?

Hi, I confirm also that the underneath is painted in black underseal. It is a real nightmare to remove it. I' was surprise to find on my car that there was only a single very thin coat of primer or a maybe a color coat. On a such car finding a so leight protection is amaizing. But this is what was d...
