Front wheel brake dust covers..

[tel595]

Looking for information ref. pros and cons of the use of the brake dust covers on my S3c.. I know what they're intended to do but just seeking any advice really.
Cheers, Tel

Am I missing something? I take it they're not popular then...?

Hi Terry,
Have a look on the random S pics thread I've just bumped for you.

Cheers Glen. I thought they'd have a consequence of fitment.. You don't see many 'performance' cars fitted with them.

Mine are available if anyone wants a set..

Never had a problem with mine- should I be worried about them in the future then?

Just don't drive through the Alps at high speed I think!

Perish the thought- wouldn't think of driving anywhere at "high" speed- honest officer!

Terry, going up is ok it's coming down the other side where you'll get problems... I can still remember the smell coming from the front of Andy's car after an "enthusiastic" descent of the Petit St Bernard Pass. Seeing as you both appear to have gone to the same school of driving / braking I'd suggest NOT fitting them

...never been a problem until then...best off though....plus saves weight...
