brake pad shims

ok guys,
am replacing my front brakes this weekend (leaky caliper seals) but one problem, it currently doesn't have any shims between pads and pistons.
So I have bought them, but don't know which way they go on, serrated one nearest pad or piston?
Thanks people

door rub strip fixing

As per title,
Do the rub strips on the doors have any clips to fix them on in a specific position, or are they just taped? mine has started catching the wing when opening the door at the front, just want to relocate it couple of mm farther back?

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Brake pedal almost to the floor for 20 minutes, then working fine.

did you get this sorted in the end? Just read through the topic, sounds more like to me that you simply boiled the fluid if it went spongy for a while then came back good after it was allowed to sit/cool down??

Re: Recaro sr3 in mkii - sliders?
