Yea don't speak too soon! It only takes one stupid thing to set you back and really hack you off. Fair play for getting stuck in, at least there's a good level of satisfaction when you look back and reflect on what you've accomplished.

I've finally got the refund from ebayer cwvehicledismantlers < Avoid at all cost if you can.

I made a Paypal dispute against the broken radiator they sent out to me.They wanted me to pay to send it back. Paypal also said i should send the item back ! Joke or what. Got on the blower to Paypal and they understood the situation and refunded me in the full. Happy days

Seems like you guys also had problems with these monkeys so another good lesson learnt on why not to buy from them!

Rant over

Something for the future but i've seen various forums with people using Pug 407 brembo calipers. Do these require different brackets etc??

Worth the hassle or not?

I would say... do your research first, but if you are only going to use it on the road they are probably not really worth it The OE 180 brakes are blooming good for a road car, and with some upgraded compounds are not too shabby for a track car IMO

I would say not worth it for a standard 180.

Mines pretty much standard.
I've just ordered them because they look good and all the cool kids have brembos!
