    what was the gold paint you used Gar? hammerite?
    Do you just get the 300mm disks and different caliper brackets John?

    Yeah that should be all that's needed Conor, I checked all the part numbers on realoem and that's the conclusion I came to, also read something similar on another forum. Most people swap the calipers but they have the same part number so why bother.

    Wanna be a guinea pig before I try it?

    sure thing ...

    no point upgrading the rears, the 318i should have 280mm solid discs whereas the upgrade is 276 ventilated.
