Default Brake discs

Hi all, looking for discs for the front of my 2003 spec c. What's the best options out there for them? It came over with 2 piece discs but don't know what make they are, anyone know from this picture? I've had them off but no markings on them.



Any help would be appreciated

Nice to see a car that's properly used judging by the state of your wheels but please give them a good clean!

Knew someone would comment on the tyres

I've tried a few products but the brake dust seems to be part of the wheels now, any tips how to get it of?

Haha! Well lucky for you I'm a bit of a car clean freak.

What products have you tried so far? Any iron fall out removers?

A specialised alloy wheel cleaner will bring them up like new. There's loads to choose from and any will work. Once clean, you can go a step further by sealing them to make it easier to clean each time; there's a product called Poorboys wheel sealant which is a fantastic product.

Best stuff I've found is Bilt Hamber Korrosol as it gets the brake dust off as well as the metallic particles which embed themselves into the paint when they come off the discs.

As above, this is great stuff! You can buy some stuff from Halfords but I can't think off the top of my head and their website is currently down.

I normally use Gyeon Iron or Autofinesse Iron out, free delivery from www.polishedbliss.co.uk. Any questions about just shoot me a pm, sorry for going off OP's original post!
