Dublin Rep Of IReland

He was looking for £60 for the BFO and a Total of £125 for the BFO with shiping so £65

mighty steep to me especially when u do the euro conversion = €170

more than i wanna spend well on a BFO thats not really gonna make a big difference to a 1.2 8v

thats y im looking at brakes something that will make a difference cos the 8v breaks on the car are really bad

i'll have to get it shipped to me bro in rochdale then figure out hwo to get em here.

yeh it says on the v-tunning site that the smallest wheels would be 14's with the 256mm disks. Thats actually a great price for all new parts on that site think its shipping them to me in Ireland thats gonna cost a packet.

yer man in PVD was looking for £70 to shipp a BFO to me. Like was dearer than the BFO itself.

Wot was he shipping? a cammel from timbocktu?

yes they will go straight on, tho u will need bigger wheels than 13s, i think 15" is the min


2.0 16V brakes from an astra? and wot year?

id get the calipers there alright but would prefer to get new disks but i must have the exact details and year year of the car im upgrading to.

i can get 15" wheels no bother. I presume there from and an astra?

i think that they will fit behind 14"s as my m8 had 14"s on his nova with GTE brakes :)

don' think the ate's will fit behind 13's mate, they don't fit behind most 14s as well.

u won't have any problems fitting the ates behind 15;s/
