I agree, I've spent £3800 on the car and about £4000 in mods over 3 years, minus £500-£600 of parts I've sold along the way. Dont regret the money spent one bit, I regret my latest venture with it, biggest mistake ever.
I fitted my 282's today, I got MG ZS 180 calipers & carriers, MG ZS EBC blank discs and EBC greenstuff pads, all for £201. It all bolted straight up, no hassle with milling carriers etc.
