Nice one and I’ll get the brackets from vagbramtechic.
Also did you have to do any modifications to the dust shield behind it?

For what I recall when we fitted RS7 rear discs to Dan's 8v we didn't need to mod the rear splash shields.

I've removed the splash guards on both the front & rears to add cooling to the discs.
There's been no detrimental effect in the wet tbh.

It feels like it is braking a little better from the back but I’ll see when I drive it a bit harder
