They are part number MDC1941. They are 360x30mm rather than 362x32. This isn't a problem and pad still make full contact.
The issue is that you need to make a centre Spiggot to fit between the hub And the disc (71.5mm to just a thou under 79mm and 7mm thick) I also made a set of ten spacers to slide over the 12mm studs to take them to 16mm of the Range Rover
Another potential issue is the mounting surface is 2mm thinner than the AP so if your wheels are close it could make it worse. I Had a pair of 3mm so popped them on until I get new wheels

Range Rover disc job done! Not quite as easy as I thought but well worth it! If only to save £350!! Over the AP
Hows the quality of braking over the Ap discs.

At the moment I'm just thrilled to be able to stop without the wheel shaking out of my hand! Seems fine,. obviously you could opt for cross drilled/groved RR Discs for a little more ££

Ultraleggeras? They looked good on Emma's car, when she had them fitted. I think there was a little rubbing issue though.

They are 18x8" trial fitted one with et45 on front, lots more room around AP's than standard rims. Going to try a 40 ish offset on rear to help it fill the rear arches a bit more.
Company supplying have been very helpfull

Just a spot of de-vauxhalling today, once the new wheels go on it will only be the sill cap badges and the engine cover.

Was considering Corvette engine covers but quite like the metal coil covers I've seen on eBay for a more retro look, anyone ever fitted them?

Corvette C5 covers fit fine, I've had them on a CV8 and VXR. You do have to cut a notch out of one of them as we have throttle cables, but it's obvious and easy to do.
