My current 1.4 SRi brakes are the same as 1.8 ones .
Yeah i have corsa VXR calpers , thats what ive been trying to fit . I got the kit off of BenG off ccuk . He sells refurbished kits all the time . I just got a cheeper set off of him because it contained used pads and discs and non refurbed calipers . But the carriers supplied were the new ones wich he sells in his 308 kits on ebay .

Hodon_21 thanks pal .
Ad Blue B , I know , like I said there's not a reason that they shouldn't fit so I may have been doing something wrong but I can't see what tbh . Hmmmm I'm not sure on the laminex , it has crossed my mind a few times since gav suggested it but I aint sure !!

Other than new wheels again and irmy sideskirts I don't think ill do anymore to the outside for a while . Oh and I need some bits painting again but I would call that a "mod" .
Power will come eventually , just need to carry on saving .
Haha yes scotts does certainly need more lows !

40s are alot better and wont rub as much , mine dont rub at all on the front now . However i did have it lowered 100mm with the 45s on the speedlines when i first got them , rubbed slightly .
