As said front discs are 288mm so same size calipers but if you type your reg number into the EuroCarParts website then they will find the calipers that fit your car and then use the forum discount for 25 percent off  :cool:

I am doing that but being presented with a couple of different calipers & there is none that are stated to be 288mm, unless i am being more dense than usual!

If you have entered the reg number and two different calipers have come up then the only difference will be the quality and price. Both will be the same but ideally you need to remove the old caliper then go to Euro Car Parts to match the caliper up and avoid the surcharge at the same time.
