It is exactly the same kit as supplied by Volkspares.
It comes with the caliper bracket (2x) hub (2x) Bearings (2 sets)
The calipers and disks I bought from Goldwagen (Standard Golf 1 stuff - I chose the ventilated discs)
The adapter is a reversed 5 x 130 pcd to 4 x 100 pcd adapter. I had to space it out about 6mm to clear the caliper.
I used HT Bolts and countersunk cap screws from Acorn Fasteners to bolt everything together.
While I was at it, I replaced the front brake hoses as well.
Brake performance is massively improved with light pedal pressure.

With the adapter fitted, I use standard VW rostyle rims.
Without the adapter, you can fit any 4x100 PCD rim (eg Citigolf, Opel Corsa etc)
