go down the scrappies and get a set of 2.0 16v brakes for around £50, or if u want brand new go to vauxhall for around £120 i think
yes they will go straight on, tho u will need bigger wheels than 13s, i think 15" is the min

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?

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.
