Default Are these fitted the wrong way?



Just had a quick search and it appears I've fit these the wrong way round this morning. Feel like a right gimp but I assumed the sticker saying RIGHT side of the car was for the DRIVERS side? I assuming that it actually meant as you stand facing the front of the car?

Will this have any bad effects? Will it makes the brakes worse? or does it not matter at all apart from looking strange???

Cheers
Steve

Any negative effects? Do you think I need to swap them over?

all depends what direction the vents are pointing. not the grazing grooves.
you want the vents pointing backwards, so that it draws the air from the center and forces out of the disc at the outer edge.

Quite right, forget the grooves on the outside and check the curved vents on the inside, look here.

If they're a standard one piece cast type disc then the vanes inside will most likely be straight rather than curved like you get with AP and other bell and disc combos.

most companies placing stickers on the discs will be meaning as you sit in the drivers seat...............
what make are they and who did you buy them from??

look right for the most common disc we supply..............
