I considered going with APs but the Prodrive theme won the day.

Looking very nice, but are your discs on the right way round? I thought curved vanes were supposed to curve backwards, whereas straight cut grooves faced forwards. 
I may be wrong though 
See piccy here.

I did think about this myself, but Prodrive's fitting instructions(which you are given post fitment), suggest that these are on the correct way round.
I'm happy if they are!

The grooves are irrelevant. The thing that determines the correct fitment is the curved cooling vanes between the disc (holding both sides of the disc together) These should run from front to back, effectively throwing hot air out of the disc as it rotates, rather than trying to work against the flow and scoop air into it, if you follow.
I think they are right for the Prodrive ones. On my AP's the curved grooves run the other way (backwards), on my old set of AP's (straight grooves) they went forward.

I'd better not say how much, as my wife might read this!
