Stronger, cheaper, more aesthetically pleasing. But that's just me. :)

Nice. I love a car with doily brakes.

For <beep> sake.

Ordered some plain discs from Euros, Euros emailed today saying they don't stock them therefore it's gonna be 24/48 hours before the supplier can confirm when they can send them and at what price. So it's going to be at least a week before I see them.

Had enough of this <beep> now

Messaged your German contact, I can't use his website as I don't speak German, and google translate ain't helpful....

Plus, I ideally want the discs by next Wednesday/Thursday.

Front discs & pads

Post by Jay_g » Tue Jun 21, 2016 9:08 pm

Personally I would just order through Ultimot. When I ordered them through that company you linked they gave the estimated delivery date as about 3 weeks!! Then they were useless at helping, and didn't speak a word of English.

I'm sure if GLS (the courier) didn't lose the parcel then all would probably of been fine, but I won't bother going back to him. I think I paid £430 for drilleds from Ultimot (mainly as I wanted to use PayPal not a bank transfer, which cost me about £30 I think) it's €500 as a transfer, which works out a smidge out around £390

I used Ultimot.de for a pair of front discs when I first got the car I think, they're very good. German efficiency lol.

Hi guys,

Have any of you used autodoc before? Have found the following and just wondered if anyone has bought from them before.
