Cheers

i had a look on ebay but cant seem to find any that fit my car. they are up to 02 only i think.
I need discs and pads for vtr 52 plate which is registered 2003.
Do mintex do grooved or drilled or just standard?

they should fit your car mate, ive got an 02 plate vtr and its the ones i bought, just email the seller to make sure if you want :y:
mintex might do drilled and grooved but tbh mate, plain discs do the same job, a lot of people say grooved and drilled are just for looks, but its up to you
