Granturismo 2008 4.2 brake discs

[spartagates]

Hi!

Apologies if already covered (I'm sure it has been, I have searched!). I'm gonna need some discs much sooner than I would have expected (only put 3k on the car in just over 2 months and the dealer is having none of it that all the discs and pads all round are goosed as rusted). Its a 2008 with 60k on the clock and just can't believe that there is no one doing an alternative disc at a more reasonable cost. Advice appreciated!

Imports costs at 4.5% duty plus 20% vat on top , I guessed $150 for shipping and insurance which brings them to just under £770 delivered for a pair

They charge vat on the duty and the shipping which is a right con

What about Eurospares - they have pattern disks too for the QP (Not spots disk either) fro £207 + VAT - do these fit Gran Turismos?

The last time I looked, there were pattern discs for a 4.2 on offer @ Eurospares which looked a decent price.
Alternatively, are they too far gone to be skimmed?

You only have a few days to bag them though.

Remember that these are priced per disc and are subject to VAT and carriage too

£320 inc delivery and vat instead of £470 each plus vat

That is a good deal for a set of rears

That's for a set of front discs

ok, for the 4.2 I assume - it's also an excellent price!
