Remember there is just one, on the nearside front wheel.

Spotted that but if price ok I'll order 2 since I will have another set of discs for the future and no telling what will prove difficult to source in 5 years or so.....will also check the discs that come off and see if they can take a skim, if so will get them done and store for emergency......hope the old girl appreciates all this forward planning enough to behave! ;)

Would K BARRY please identify yourself to me. I have received payment for the courier, but have no idea who you are!

Once I've sorted the delivery/collection for the first batch. Currently it's like herding cats whilst blindfolded! Almost there, but for a few stragglers who have failed to respond to numerous messages!!

Got mine today and very big thank you to gingeh721 for dropping them off. I'm sure a cup of coffee and tour round the most prestigious building in Scotland doesn't cover what you've done for me. Discs look good and can't wait to get them on the car now. Well done to everyone involved in making this happen, especially MAF260. :clap:

Thanks for the brew mate. Was good to meet you.

I should mention a huge thanks to Adie (gingeh721) for driving a few sets from Surrey to Scotland for our most northerly members. How your Nissan Micra coped with an extra 40 stone of discs on board is beyond imagination!

Thank you again!

A pleasure. I was only giving back something in return for what the forum has given me over the last year and a half.

The micra is a beast. I highly recommend the K11c 1.4. It sounds slow, but 82bhp in an 800kg car is just as fast as a 150bhp modern day hatch, and for 500 quid you can't go wrong. If you can cope with all the attention from jealous chicks.

Anytime.

Ditto.....he just needs to fit some boomerangs and a couple of turbos and that micra will do just fine! Lol

Who's gonna have them on the car first?? Looking fwd to the road test!

I've already fitted a set to my black GS (photos earlier in this thread) and am very happy with the fit and performance so far. Second set going on the yellow GS some time this week.
