Doing some work under the car and Noticed these things are bearly hanging on due to corrosion, It looks a right pain in the A*** job as taking the hub off and what not.

Any ideas?

i glued mine back together in situ with arryldite[sorry about the spelling]
seems to be holding so far.
i have looked at a Porsche and that do\'s not have them on so i guess its not necessary to have them??

I understand from the conversation that I heard whislt down at RE:Worx that the front discs take in cooling air from the middle and expell outwards thro the disc. The vent in the plate encourages air into the disc and therefore keep em cool. You can add ducting from the front of the car and it should go to the middle inside of the disc.

Yep,

Thats each so just over a ton incl tax!!

They are made of a different material compared to the previous ones which looked like aluminium, these are steel with black paint on to protect them( I hope !)   :driving
