   Ive done a search and red the "pad guide" but Im still unsure - the calipers I have came off a 51 plate 206 GTi :-
   
   54 Bosch / 204A / 0204Y0 / 1216
   
   Not sure what type calipers these are as there seems to be 3 types?

   266mm? They look the same as mine mate. You seem to be missing some clips to hold the pads in though?
   
   
   
   They are post-1999 so when you come to buy discs, make sure they are the ones with the larger offset.

   On second thought, you're right - the pads probably do come with those clips. Mine are just normal motor factors ones... work fine for me, haha. As long as they are for a 206 GTI (138bhp) 1999 onwards then they should be fine.

   99% sure you want the '266mm with Bosch calipers type 2' pads. That's what my pads look like anyway.
   
   Found these OMP pads on the bay, dunno if they're as good as a set of Mintex though. The description is a bit screwed up, but judging by the title they're the right ones.
   
   On a side note, have the carriers been grinded so they don't foul the hub? Mine were already done but if they're fresh off a car, you might need to break the grinder out.

    Dont think they have been grinded - does the carrier need grinding then, as I thought these were a straight fit.
    
    Thanks for all the advice LeeumH

    The carrier will most likely need grinding mate. If you PM williamsvts, he might be able to show you what parts need doing.
    
    DusheR: They fit under VTR wheels no bother - even with weights on the inside.

    yours will have the little round springs in the pads, for the silver calipers above.

    Hmm, figures like as it's rounded where those square clips would normally be.
    
    I take it he needs pads for the Bosch type 3 calipers from this list?

    Think your right LeeumH - I did a little more research on these and came up with this
    
    http://www.saxosportsclub.com/Forums...5/credits.html
    
    which seems to confirm that the pads are the "type 3" from the list you mentioned.
    
    Does anyone know the part number for the slider seal kit for this caliper?
