    that's about right fitted, 120 quid for someone to do it, or save 120 quid and do it yourself :thumb:

    just realised, didn't price the rear pads into my figure so that's even better fitted :thumb:

    Does £750 include the VAT?

    Just been on the net and at least one manufacturer can do front discs for £105 a pair,Gazella racing.there are also a couple of others with good deals,if you have a good local garage you will save loads.fitting new discs  is routine work for any garage,shop around £750 seems a hell of a lot to me,even if you pay someone to fit the discs ,the pads are an easy DIY job.and again plenty of aftermarket makers with good reputations

    Just have a little Google regarding this company. My personal experience was good until he took the money, once he had it he went very quiet. I had to arrange my own collection of the parts from another town 30 miles away.
