There are a pair in the for sale section for £250.
Had a bit of a result. Found a pair of front discs but just normal not drilled and grooved and had best offer accepted for £30 2006 TdV6 HSE.

Getting a bit excited. New discs arrived today. They are flipping huge
Also one of the brake hoses. Just waiting for all the rest to arrive. Will get some before and after pictures when I'm replacing it all.
Going to clean up and paint the Brembo's before I fit them.2006 TdV6 HSE.

Mine were gloss black. I fancied red but think the subdued black is nice.
I went for the stainless brake hose kit too.

I'm going for red but only because I already have a tin of red caliper paint that I bought a couple of years ago to paint the calipers on my Audi S4 but never got around to it before I sold the car.
Will be buying some silver paint for the disc bells so they stay looking better for longer.
Only thing I didn't get were the back plates. May well trim down the existing ones and repaint them.2006 TdV6 HSE.

I couldn’t get over how big they were and yet how lightweight ! The discs though are proper heavy. LolJarrod

Calipers arrived today. Can't believe how big they look out on there own.
Have people that have fitted then used the multi spline bolts or normal hex head bolts to attach them to the car?2006 TdV6 HSE.

I used the existing “multi hex” bolts that were on the old calipers with a literal spot of threadlock. Jarrod

The calipers came with them but the heads are a bit chewed on a couple so have ordered the correct socket and just hope the existing ones are ok.2006 TdV6 HSE.

Need a damn good clean up. Thats a 16" wiper blade underneath just to give an idea of the size of them for those who haven't seen them up close before.2006 TdV6 HSE.
Definitely need to get a set when I need to change the discs and pads next.

Was thinking of using something like Gunk to give them a good scrub. Tried some carb cleaner I had but didn't really do a great deal.2006 TdV6 HSE.

Have they been paint stripped or something ? If your going to paint them start with funk and a scotch pad, that should shift it !Jarrod

Not been stripped as far as I know just really dirty with some surface spots. Plus someone at some point has put shed loads of copperslip all over the backs of the pads so lots of that to be cleaned out from inside.2006 TdV6 HSE.
