Have a look through the spokes of your wheels at the edge of the disc. Should be easy enough to see if its slotted or not. Worst case take the wheel off then you must be able to see.

Got to be careful with terms here.
Slotted generally refers to the grooves imprinted into the disc like this:


vented refers to a gap between both sides of the disc as shown here:


you need to check to see if sideways on (ie flat profile) the discs look like in the second shot.

Defiantly not slotted/grooved, its hard to see on the rear if they are vented or not but I’m pretty sure they are I just thought I would ask on here first - Thanks for all your help though.
