hi guys/gals, I bought a set of dics & pads for my S1 Elise and my garage informs me that they don't fit! I at a total loss as to what to do now, as I know they are the correct OEM discs, I bought them from EuroCarParts (who have been fantastic) and even corroborated them with the local dealer who confirmed authenticity...

the garage say they are too small, and have the vents in the wrong direction (huh?) so I suppose if my existing brakes are bigger then I must have had a brake upgrade somewhere along the line? but how to find out the right parts?

any help greatly appreciated smile

pictures would help?

S1 disks are 282mm x 1" (25.4mm), most are not 'handed' as in straight vented

I suspect they have supplied the wrong disk thinking it;s the same as something else (it's not).
