£330 off pattern Quattroporte / granturismo front discs at euro spares £129 each ?

[Wack61]

I bought a set and I haven't even got a car yet but id be mighty annoyed if I found one that needed brakes and they were 3x the price then

 

[StuartW]

Forward planning!

 

[Ewan]

I can't imagine there'll ever be any cheaper so think I'll order a set today as well. I imagine my car will need new discs all round next year anyway, so might as well buy them now.

 

[Wack61]

I'm buying my QP in pieces, so far I've got a set of floor mats and some brake discs

Watch out for the delivery costs. They charged me £8 on the website which I didn't think was bad but then sent an email saying that because there are two large, heavy boxes, could they charge me another £8. I objected but of course, if I want them then I've got to pay.

Not particularly impressed. Let's hope they are OK when they get here.

Getting there slowly but surely!

Hi All
I have never ordered any parts for my QP yet and am tempted by this even though the currents brakes are in good condition.
Will the below be the correct way to order? Do I need I order anything else with it?

Please advise. Thanks.

 

[Wack61]

You need to order through this link and put 2 of the £129 discs in your basket but empty the basket of those ones first

http://www.eurospares.co.uk/parts/m...heels/front-wheels-braking-parts-36201/202016

These are just the front discs, I haven't looked for the rears

 

[Sommi]

Thanks Darren!
I thought it might be a good idea to get the pads as well while at it. they are on offer separately as well.
Rear ones are on offer too!
Part number wise I do not know how 202016 differs from 202016/a but they seem to list all supported models exactly the same.

 

[Wack61]

I think it's £344 for a kit with the pads which are £105 if purchased separately but it doesn't say what pads they are, just made in italy

 

[Sommi]

That's a good point. I will ask Eurospares. They want the Chassis number which I do not have right away. Still two days left so if all looks good will order tomorrow!

 

[Doohickey]

They didn't ask for the chassis number when I ordered my disks, it just goes through. Bear in mind that the price on your screen shot is ex VAT and delivery (on which they also charge VAT).

 

[Sommi]

Oh Yes! It all adds up. Wish I could put it as "Business expenses"
And then there is fitting charges for which I'll have to pay for labour. But hopefully no too soon. Gives me time to find to have them done cheaper than Surrey. Anywhere is cheaper than Surrey, I guess.

Jump in too - will just keep them for a year or so

 

[Sommi]

Ordered now! Just the front ones. Reductions for rear ones expected later as mentioned by Eurospares.

Anybody painted the hubs yet, I'm thinking of masking the pad area and spraying the hub part including the recess with heat resistant black paint, I was going to use stone chip but I'm not sure how it would stand up to getting hot

Stone chip will almost certainly come off due to heat. Use VHT paint, available in various colours as well as clear.

Carefull chaps, the rear ones listed as 228411 and to fit 06 QP...don,t, mine arrived yesterday and quick check i found that they were bigger in diameter and less depth in the hub than mine, and mine is defo an early 06, just talked to Harry at Eurospares and he is sending some genuine ones out for me that will fit.
