as it says, just fitted 2L brakes with new pads and disks,
and when i brake the steering wheel really wobbles and vibrates and the brake pedal vibrates to, its worse some times than others.
could 1 of the disks have worped?
can you put pads in the wrong way round?
problem only started when brakes were fitted, all bolts are tight

how heavy have you used the breaks mate, as im sure there is a certain running in pattern for breaking disks in?
i should hope your disks haven't warped so soon

someone was saying the other day when someone had a problem with their brakes that they may have fitted the pads the wrong way round so could possibly be that

If they are new discs and pads and it did not do it before you fitted them then you need to re-check the disc is flat/flush on the hub ,pads are in correct and retainer clips correct, and all bolts tight the main bolts and caliper bolts and wheel bolts.

You can buy a new set of main bolts the ones that go into hub carrier for about £8 as I bought some on Saturday, how have you managed to round anything off as they are internal male type bolts 10mm,and the caliper ones are 7mm. are you using the correct bolts.
