Thanks Neil I spotted those the other day. That price is very close to the ones that I can get for just over £600 and they are already red.

I might have a look at your bad boys on Saturday if you go  :evil:

There are some better options than the pig iron heavy R/S3/Cupra R 345mm setup for a very similar price IMHO.

The Porsche 4 Pot Boxster's that fit over the standard disc's would be my choice on a budget.
