lol the prefacelifts really dont need them though, the brakes are plenty powerful, you'd be better saving the money and buying better tyres :y (based on the fact the abs is a bit trigger happy under braking on uneven surfaces for example)

Hi Glynn,
I fitted them to my mini facelift estate and they fit fine but you may have problems finding the rear calipers. I have some pics in the gallery.

one of those upgrades ultimately not worth the expense or effort unless you really need them

I saw the genuine discs cheap on carconnexions so thought it a good idea to buy them, it then took me months and months to find the calipers, seemed like a good idea at the time ::)
