Hi It's Kev, Andy's mate...
They look fantastic... lovely car too... This would have been Andy's next upgrade if he didn't sell the car... The stopping power of these are awesome, well worth the money they cost.

Looking at the way your grooves are orientated, I would say that you had the discs on the wrong way. The grooves of my AP's were going the opposite way to yours. I think you have the left disc on the right and vice versa.

Very nice brakes and a lovely motor.
Just wondered, to the AP calipers have to be fitted the opposite way to the standard calipers, or do you have a choice?

There very nice kev, I'd love a set but funds just don't permit.
With regards to the grooves, It all depend on which way the internal vains flow, as the groovs on my k-sports flow the same as kevs but the internal vains flow backwards.

Let's make sure we have the discs on the right way around before changing the wheel colour
They are nice though
