Need to get some front pads fitted to the R8 and i'm loathed to pay main dealer labour and parts rates so was thinking if using Fontain in Iver near Uxbridge.

Anyone used them?

I've used them several times on my B6 S4 over the last couple of years. Have been happy with what they've done for me, and big saving vs main dealer prices, so I intend to keep using them.

Not being funny Steve but you can buy OEM pads on e bay for £150. If the calipers are the same as my B7 RS4 and i think they are or VERY similar they are a piece of cake to change yourself.Only held in by twosteel pins which you remove slide out the worn discs,slide in the new one and replace the pins.

It certainly is. What's your role there?
